Chalk Line Talk

Just Beau and Will on this beautiful Friday, as they talk about the HOF Ballot update and where Andruw Jones, Billy Wagner, Todd Helton and Scott Rolen stand in terms of their candidacy. Beau also gets animated in his distaste of the process for voting for the HOF and its inconsistencies. The guys do another Worst Contract and Start, Bench, Cut, Retire (SBCR) segment on today's episode, and they also add on a quirky new segment sure to make you laugh... Players as Foods. A Will special, the guys try and take some MLB players and say which food they would be. Another fun episode and great listen as we head into 2023. Happy New Year everybody!

The boys are back and bring on broadcaster Alex Feuz along with multiple new segments in a jam-packed show. Will and Beau start with some fun, non-baseball talk, as Will has some serious concerns about Wisconsinites, and then get into a ton of MLB talk covering nearly every base from the current situation with Carlos Correa to some New Year's resolutions for MLB teams, players, and personnel.  The guys talk with Alex about his career so far, the connections he has been able to make within the sport, and he even gives advice for kids/parents/young adults who are looking to get into the game. Check it out for a full episode of fun, lively baseball chatter!

Hosts Beau Wills and Will Sommers introduce the reboot of Chalk Line Talk 2.0! The Show kicks off with a bang through some White Sox Talk, an Interview with HOF candidate Andruw Jones and Analyst Ryan Spaeder, and some fun with a Start, Bench, Cut and Retire segment. We talk with Jones about his career, memories in baseball, and about his Hall of Fame candidacy alongside friend and supporter in Spaeder. We also address the White Sox confusing offseason and try to figure out what this organization is doing. Join in for some fun and to welcome back the pod!

An exciting return after a week off, and we are revived with two great guests! Scott Merkin, a staple of White Sox media for the better part of two decades, joins us to talk about the Sox and the nice run they are on right now. We also discuss a potential trade deadline strategy for the club, Ricky Renteria, and when is the right time to transition from rebuild to contention. We are joined by Kevin Brown as well, and we talk about one of the more surprising teams in baseball.. the Baltimore Orioles. Their young core that is stepping up, their bullpen that has been outrageously good, and the excitement they play with night in and night out is all brought up with Kevin, who has a front row seat by broadcasting for MASN. We institute a new game with our guests called Savant and Survive, where we pull 5 random factoids off of Baseball Savant and quiz our guests on who leads the categories. Listen to find out our inaugural leaderboard!

We finally get to talk about baseball being back, the fact that the Marlins and Cardinals suck, and how much better the White Sox are than every other team in baseball! We also interview Aaron Fitt of D1Baseball.com and get in some discussion about college baseball and what the future holds for the sport (excuse the poor editing, there were still SOME technical issues).

We discuss how unfortunate Yasiel Puig is after testing positive for COVID-19, and whether he will still be signed by a team or if his season is over. We also have a Most Underrated Player segment with both Kenny and Beau taking pitchers. We talk Logan Morrison, a fan favorite, and his announcement that he will be on the opening day roster. We predict the number of wins for the NL Central winner, and we also bring on our resident Cubs fan to talk about the whooping put on them by the White Sox last night.

A different version of the podcast, as we go with a segment-less show and interview Josh Nelson. Josh and Beau discuss the White Sox, Blue Jays, Yasiel Puig and more. Who becomes the everyday 3B for the Sox if Moncada isn't ready? Will the Blue Jays have a home in the next 10 days? Yasiel Puig to Baltimore? Plus, a very interesting tailgate for White Sox and Brewers fans is on the table thanks to Josh and others.
