Good Guys Talk Back

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox got their sixth win of the season after sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays out of the South Side. Sox are now (6-22) and battle the Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals in the coming week. Lots of roster moves have been made and Tommy Pham has officially joined the big league club. Andrew Benintendi unleashed the power with a pair of home runs and six RBI to help the cause against the Rays on Saturday. Chris Getz finally starts saying the things he should have said last fall and is Erick Fedde good as gone when the deadline comes. Thanks for the continued support.

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox have found new ways to embarrass themselves and this past week was beyond disappointing. The offense continues its ineptitude and the defense has reached new lows. Debuts by Nick Nastrini and Jonathan Cannon provided some rest from the bleak outlook. Lenyn Sosa has been demoted and Danny Mendick is set to join the big league club. Why is Pedro Grifol still managing the White Sox? Do you have faith that a serious managerial search will ever take place under Jerry? The Sox are historically bad and we're here to talk about it. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (2-13) are off to their worst start in franchise history. Over one hundred twenty years of baseball. It was ugly this past week as the Sox lost a series in Cleveland and were swept by the Cincinnati Reds on the South Side. Bad baseball has been played and the results have put the White Sox at the bottom of the entire league. Is this what Jerry Reinsdorf wanted? Can Pedro Grifol keep his job? The Sox lost Yoan Moncada to an adductor injury but are bringing Tommy Pham on board. Only 147 games left. Thank you for the continued support.

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (1-8) split a rain shortened series with the Atlanta Braves and then were swept by the Kansas City Royals. The Sox are bottom of the barrel in most offensive categories including runs scored. It's not just bad, it's historically bad. The lone bright spot continues to be Garrett Crochet. Both Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. are on the injured list and we wonder where the finger should be pointed? Are the players to be blamed? The coaching staff? Both? Mike Clevinger is back with the White Sox and Lenyn Sosa gets another shot. Is there a chance Pedro Grifol gets fired this season or will Getz protect him? Thanks for the continued support.

Hey Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox (0-3) were swept by the Detroit Tigers to start off the 2024 campaign. Each loss was by one run but there were some troubling occurrences in the series. Sox struggled to get on base and were 1-for-14 with runners in scoring position. The White Sox failed to hold on to a three run lead in the 2nd game of the series then lost in extra innings. Luis Robert Jr. hit two home runs but Eloy Jimenez came up short in two critical moments then injured himself in the series finale. Garrett Crochet was dominant on Opening Day and new play-by-play man, John Schriffen, took in the experience from the parking lots. Thanks for the continued support, Go Sox. #WhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Sox fans! Spring training is wrapping up and decisions are looming as the Chicago White Sox still need to trim down their roster. We know that Mike Moustakas and Jesse Chavez will not be in the picture but what about Braden Shewmake or Gavin Sheets? Opening Day is fast approaching and are you finally getting excited for White Sox baseball? Will you be there for Garrett Crochet's historic start? Michael Kopech has impressed out of the bullpen but can it last? Could we see Colson Montgomery on the South Side this season? What prospects didn't get a fair shake? Steve Hasman from Future Sox joins the conversation. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #ChicagoWhiteSox #WhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! It finally happened: Dylan Cease was traded. Some favorable prospects come back from San Diego and the latest rebuild is in full swing. Sox received a few arms that might be ready to help out this season. Michael Kopech's journey towards the starting rotation took a turn this past week as the announcement was made that Kopech will be starting the season in the bullpen. Grifol said he knows who the starter will be on Opening Day but will keep it a secret. Crochet and Leasure continue to impress while Shewmake is sidelined with an ankle injury. Reports from Spring Training and the surprising Pedro Grifol Quote of the Week.

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox are (4-11) in Cactus League play and have the worst run differential (-36) in all of Spring Training. It's the just the spring though, right? Oscar Colas was one of the dozen cuts made by the White Sox. What percentage of miles per hour does Pedro Grifol want from him moving forward? Ex Royals pitcher, Brad Keller, was signed by the White Sox to a minor league deal. Can the Sox adopt an old KC logo for the 2024 season? Michael Kopech continues to struggle in the first inning and Grifol is noncommittal on the five man rotation. The navigation of the desert life is a struggle. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

The Chicago White Sox are (3-8) during Cactus League play. So far, the offense has been inept however Eloy Jimenez and Yoan Moncada have been bright spots. Moncada has mentioned to Pedro Grifol that he would like to bat 2nd this season. Grifol said that Moncada is one of the best bunters on the team. Dylan Cease, Michael Kopech and Garrett Crochet saw action this past week. Crochet has impressed, striking our Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. Grifol continues to talk about indefinable qualities and a certain type of baseball he wants to play but the specifics are lacking. Battles continue for utility spots and Oscar Colas plays first base. Thanks for the continued support.

The Chicago White Sox are back in action in Arizona. After the first three games, the Sox are (1-2) and have played a little sloppy. Pedro Grifol has a new acronym that he hopes will catch on and perhaps ignite some unity. New play-by-play voice, John Schriffen, is getting his sea legs and Steve Stone makes a prediction about the upcoming season. What's going on with the new stadium? Jerry needs money and a new ballpark to compete.... or else. Thanks for the continued support.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Pitchers and catchers have reported and the first full squad workout is upon us. Pedro Grifol has a lot of bodies to choose from and apparently he's going to do things a little different this time. Grifol also has some bulletin board material that he believes will help get the Sox to be all kinds of fired up. Mike Moustakas is the latest former KC Royal to get a chance with the Sox. Kopech and Crochet are hoping for health and a fresh start. Also, Jerry wants one billion dollars. Thanks for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in a few days. What a list of names the Sox get to choose from for their starting staff. And how about those catching options? Wow. Utility man folk hero, Danny Mendick, was issued a non-roster invitation and will try to recapture the TWTW from a few seasons ago. Also, there were new renderings of the South Loop stadium and the lack of parking opportunities seemed to have caused a stir. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox traded away Gregory Santos and Cristian Mena to the Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles, respectively. Santos could very well have been the Sox closer in 2024 and Mena was a well thought of pitching prospect. The Sox got some much needed outfield depth in return. Dominic Fletcher came to the Sox from AZ and should be a player to watch this spring. With all of this outfield depth, does this mean Gavin Sheets will no longer hang out in right field? Romy Gonzalez found a new home and the word rebuild gets its due.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. SoxFest will return in 2025. Just in time for the 20th anniversary of the 2005 team. John Schriffen is the new voice of the Chicago White Sox. Another member of the organization that will be learning on the fly. Could Dylan Cease be dealt to Seattle? Yoan Moncada is feeling healthy. Eloy has grand plans if he's healthy and Andrew Benintendi is eating more, but getting healthy. Thanks for the continued support.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Have you heard the serious talks about the Chicago White Sox building a new stadium a few miles north in the South Loop neighborhood? How could you not? Could this really happen or is it all just a distraction from the nothingness that is the White Sox off-season? It's apparently a three person race for the next Sox play-by-play broadcaster. Baseball executives believe Chris Getz will wait and trade Dylan Cease at the deadline. Also, the Sox signed a reliever... surprise, surprise. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Garrett Crochet wants to be a starter in 2024 and it sure sounds like Chris Getz wants to give him that opportunity. Maybe the theme for the Sox this season should be: Do whatever you want, nobody is watching. Perhaps other players might explore different avenues. Michael Kopech is in great shape and ready to deliver. There's a new assistant general manager on the South Side and he has Kansas City connections. Also, the Sox released the first wave of the 2024 promotional schedule. Almost all of your favorites are back. Thanks for the continued support, Go Sox. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. As the winter presses on, the White Sox continue to gather players that either were former KC Royals or add some very basic depth to a variety of places in the organization. If quantity was the name of the game, then the Sox are leading the offseason. The Sox hint at an upcoming promotional schedule being release and Luis Robert Jr. will be a focal point in 2024. Also, predictions are made that Dylan Cease will be on the roster on Opening Day. Thank you for the continued support.

Hey Sox fans! Happy New Year and Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. We've got some skin in the game after taking advantage of +3500 odds for our White Sox to win the division in 2024. Sox add some catching depth by bringing in Martin Maldonado. Hopefully his defense returns to accustomed levels and his offense defies all odds. Sox also added some pitching since the last time we talked. Reliever Tim Hill has been added to the bullpen and starter Chris Flexen has been brought into the rotation conversation. These are one year, low risk stop gap moves but do these decisions take advantage of a weak division? Are these the types of moves that make you feel comfortable with the direction the Sox are headed? Here's to a happy and healthy 2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. In the spirit of Festivus, we air some grievances about our beloved White Sox. How can you skip having a fan festival for ALL fans of ALL ages once again? The Sox are honoring season ticket holders in late January but what about everyone else? The disinterest in growing their fan base in a sad state of affairs. Can the Sox benefit from addition by subtraction in 2024? Was Tim Anderson or Yasmani Grandal really the problem? Hopefully the new year will bring along some answers to the many questions that plaque the Chicago White Sox. Happy holidays and thank you for the continued support.

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. If the AL Central is truly for the taking and the Sox think that they can compete in 2024, then what's the holdup? The Royals have made some moves recently that are not terribly flashy but are at least trying. It's still early in the off-season but it's not that early. Are the Sox waiting for the market to play into their hands or are they watching to see what other teams do... maybe they are still wondering what direction to head into? Thank you for the continued support, Happy Holidays! Go Sox. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message
