[33:17] Is Hagen Smith the White Sox X-Factor out of the bullpen?

White Sox Sweep Detroit

Summary: Josh Nelson and Jim Margalus analyze the Chicago White Sox series win over Cleveland, Anthony Kay's growing value, Colson Montgomery's issue against RHP, and preview the upcoming series against the Cincinnati Reds

Rundown

[0:00] Jim thanks everyone for attending Sox Machine's 20th anniversary

[3:50] White Sox win a key series against Cleveland despite two of the three games which the starting pitcher only lasted an inning.

[6:55] Josh and Jim have issues with how Will Venable used David Sandlin on Friday

[9:20] The Hagan Smith Experience

[10:00] A look around the AL Central

[11:54] AJ Pierzynski on  ⁨@foulterritoryshow⁩  said that if the Detroit Tigers make the postseason, it would be bad for baseball. Is that true?

[21:07] Anthony Kay has been getting better for the White Sox. Is he becoming more valuable as the season progresses?

[29:14] Colson Montgomery hit a big home run on Sunday, but he also struck out 7 times against Cleveland, going 2-for-11. Now that his OBP is below .300, what's causing this drop? Taking a look at Montgomery's numbers against RHP fastballs is a good place to start.

[39:35] Series Preview: Cincinnati Reds. What are we watching for with Luis Castillo's second start? Also, the very festive Tuesday atmosphere thanks to the White Sox Pope Hat.

Summary: It was a very festive weekend for the Chicago White Sox as Ozzie Guillen had his #13 jersey retired and the White Sox won another key series against the Cleveland Guardians.

Rundown
[0:00] It was a festive weekend on the South Side as Sox Machine celebrated our 20th anniversary and the White Sox retired Ozzie Guillen's #13 jersey. White Sox general manager Chris Getz and former pitcher Mark Buehrle share what their experience was like playing for Guillen.
[10:04] Recap the White Sox series win over Cleveland featuring postgame interviews with manager Will Venable, first baseman Munetaka Murakami, and shortstop Colson Montgomery.

[21:02] To conclude the podcast, White Sox pitching coach Zach Bove chatted pregame, answering questions about the pitching staff. What adjustments Davis Martin is trying to make, what's next for Luis Castillo, the next development steps for Noah Schultz, and why Grant Taylor is unique?
