White Sox Still Lack Accountability

Apr 12 2025 35 mins

With the exception of a couple $15,000,000 per year players, everyone on this team is being paid low enough that you could justify benching, optioning or releasing them. So, why are so many poor performers still in the lineup daily when kids are playing better in AAA? As Chase Meidroth is elevated to the White Sox we ask why Edgar Quero, Kyle Teel and others aren’t getting a shot

Prove It, White Sox

Apr 09 2025 33 mins

Why can a White Sox fan see the problem way before the team can see it? It isn’t difficult to evaluate some key pieces on this roster. You just need eyes, a look at their baseball card and personal detachment. We’re here to tell you guys like Miguel Vargas, Andrew Vaughn and even Luis Robert Jr are what they are. We’re also presenting a few names we would like to see elevated

Being Reasonable As A White Sox Fan

Apr 05 2025 31 mins

You can’t get too high or too low this season with the 2025 White Sox. You may also have a hard time being sure of much when evaluating them. Let’s talk about what you can look for and enjoy in an up-and-down season that just got started. Maybe we can also define what a good pitching start actually looks like, and who needs to step it up immediately if they want to be on this t

White Sox Entered April In First Place

Apr 02 2025 29 mins

Yeah, we kind of had to title the show that way. Who knows when you get to say something like that again?! The pitching is really good to start the year. The hitting is hit or miss. The torpedo bat is a thing now in MLB, but would it help anyone on the White Sox? We tackle these topics, watch Jake Eder get sold to the Angels for cash and ask who loses a job when some spring injurie

The New White Sox

Mar 28 2025 33 mins

Opening Day was a lot more than just a victory. We also saw a very new White Sox team. Former White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson’s interview, along with two cutthroat DFA moves, put a spotlight on a very different organizational philosophy. No matter if you think it matters, the 2025 White Sox are different that what you have been rooting for most of your life. Win or lose, this wi

Everything's Coming Up Milhouse For The White Sox

Mar 26 2025 31 mins

Brandon Drury broke his thumb and got released. Drew Thorpe is getting Tommy John surgery. Jacob Amaya is seemingly the starting shortstop. No...really. Only the White Sox know how to suck hope out of Spring Training before a season starts. We find the few bright spots and talk about the best way to watch a game in-person this season in ”30 Minutes of Sox!” Chris Lanuti and Ed

White Sox Dealing With An Unexpected Roster

Mar 22 2025 33 mins

If you asked Chris Getz who he wanted to see make the 2025 White Sox Opening Day Roster, it wouldn’t be what sits in front of him now. While the team has shown they will reward surprising pitchers, can they do the same with their infield? We attempt to create the lineup that should head to Chicago. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a basement on t

White Sox Start Trimming The Roster

Mar 19 2025 30 mins

Kyle Teel and possibly even Edgar Quero could make it to Chicago this year, but they will not be in the bigs on Opening Day. We explain why there could still be open competition for other spots on the White Sox roster even if the catcher position was already decided before camp began. The only thing that should matter is if the team rewards good play over stature this season. Chri

White Sox Spring Surprises

Mar 15 2025 33 mins

Mike Clevinger to be the closer? Brandon Drury an everyday player? Kyle Teel winning an Opening Day gig? The White Sox have four rotation spots locked in and several players making a case to do something unexpected for them in 2025. We’re breaking it down with the help of The Sox Nerd in ”30 Minutes of Sox!” Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at his 9-foot homemade oak bar in a

The Battle For White Sox Infield Positions Intensifies

Mar 12 2025 31 mins

Colson Montgomery is not making the Opening Day roster. Names like Vaughn, Drury, Sosa, Maton, Bergolla, Gray, Rojas and even Miguel Vargas are all fighting for a spot in the infield. Who has the upper hand? Plus, we ask if the White Sox will meet some pretty standard offensive marks in 2025 that they could not hit last season in ”30 Minutes of Sox!” Chris Lanuti and Ed Sieber
