Mike Mulligan and David Haugh opened their show by reacting to White Sox manager Tony La Russa getting upset with a reporter who further questioned him Wednesday about La Russa's frustration with rookie slugger Yermin Mercedes swinging away and homering on a 3-0 pitch in a blowout win recently. Later, they conducted the 5 at 5, where they hit on the biggest storylines of the day, including the Cubs' decision to rest shortstop Javier Baez on Wednesday while first baseman Anthony Rizzo was already out, whether White Sox ace Lucas Giolito is finally back on track and if La Russa made an ounce of sense in his pregame comments Wednesday in which he doubled down on his original criticism of Mercedes.
