Buehrler's Hurlers

The Tuna Boys are back. The Chicago White Sox are about to kickoff 2024 and we get caught up on all the stories that have happened since October. We start with the proposed 78 stadium deal. We hit on the parting of ways with fan favorite play-by-play man Jason Benetti. We touch on the 2024 team and our general feelings about the team now. We will be back with Spring Training updates!

Well, we thought we were garbage enough. Chris Getz had further designs on the torture of Chicago White Sox fans. Tim Anderson was unceremoniously shown the door as the CWS declined his one year option. Don and I piss and moan about it for awhile. We chat a bit about the World Series and our plans for the afternoon.

Thanks to all listeners who tuned in through this train wreck of a season. Don and I pick through the wreckage of the 2023 Chicago White Sox season (61-101; 4th ALC) in the Hurler's regular season finale. This year undoubtedly tested every CWS fan's convictions and how much attention you can pay attention to these losers. We're not pulling punches this ep. THESE GUYS SUCK. After a bleak year, we sadly may be heading into a bleak era, the dawn of Getz. Them Hurl boys still be yakking though. On the plus side Don is back on the Moncada Kool-Aid. That's something.

Call off the worldwide search. Chris Getz is the new singular voice for the Chicago White Sox. We discuss the actual firing of Rick and Kenny, the 'hiring process' the Sox went through, Chris Getz's resume and the press conference. We grade the hire, Don comes out a little more neutral than I. We touch on the magic blubber bullet and Faygo.

The White Sox have mercifully moved on from the 2023 season with a number of trades. We discuss the exits of Lucas Giolito, Lance Lynn, Jake Burger and others. We talk about the prospects that interest us the most from the group the Sox acquired. Don's Moncada fandom reaches a new low towards the end of the episode as he offers Moncada + $20 million for a 19yo A ball player to the Red Sox.

With all hope for the 2023 campaign going wayside for the White Sox, we look to the trade deadline.  Since recording the sox traded Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez.  It has begun. Project 2025

The White Sox stay just out of reach in the AL Central. Luis Robert has entered every batting cheat-code. We debate first half MVP, LVP, Cy Young and Cy Yuck. I share some details about a visit to Toronto's Rogers Center and a potential heist. We wrap up the show with some Indiana Jones hype.

What is the identity of the 2023 Chicago White Sox? We chat about identity across the roster from our 'stars' to the chode squad. Does Grifol stink, do the players stink, or both After trying to hold off on trade deadline talk, we finally give in and start talking trade bait. We wrap up the episode by selecting the second baseman for the Our Team. That quickly devolves into Gordon Beckham talk.

The Sox are playing pretty good baseball. Still completely out of contention at the moment but it is watchable. We welcome guest Ryan Mirabedini to level some harsh Guardian-fan truths. Michael Kopech, the lord of grease, has found something very special lately and we discuss what we're seeing. Eloy Jimenez returns to the lineup for now. Is Gavin Sheets an everyday player? Will Tim Anderson figure out how to be a positive WAR player before the front office start moving pieces?

The Buehrler Boys are happy to bring on our first guest Brian Feeney, cousin and Sox fan. We talk about the butt ugly losing streak and the so-so stabilization. As always we beg, lobby and scheme for enormous changes in the organization front office. We sing the praises of Cubs bench player Nick Madrigal and scratch our heads at the White Sox roster. Unfortunately, we had some technical difficulties so we end a bit abruptly. Pod is still nuts tho.
