White Sox Wake Up Call: August 5, 2022 Aug 05, 2022

Show notes

Last night: Johnny Cueto pitched a complete game, but Andrew Vaughn's poor defensive night and the bats went silent (again), resulted in another frustrating loss.

Tonight: Another Watch Party as Dylan Cease takes the ball trying to keep pace in the AL Cy Young race.

Down on the Farm: Quiet day as Kannapolis hit three homers in a loss.

Around MLB: Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals will play in London next year. Speaking of the Cardinals, they catch the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central. Lucky for the White Sox, both Minnesota and Cleveland lost.

White Sox Wake-Up Call: Aug. 2, 2022 Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Good morning. Here's the rundown:

LAST NIGHT: The White Sox dealt for a lefty reliever before losing to the Royals in standard-issue fashion.

TONIGHT: We'll wait to see if the Sox make any more additions, and then whether Lucas Giolito can turn it around against Brad Keller.

ON THE FARM: Some sorely needed good news for Romy González, and a productive day for the DSL White Sox lineup.

AROUND THE LEAGUE: The Twins and Guardians both win to separate themselves from the Sox, and the trade deadline finally forces action.
