In the second hour, Ramie Makhlouf was joined by Scott Merkin of MLB.com to discuss how the media is covering White Sox manager Tony La Russa, right-hander Michael Kopech's role and if the team's rotation is the organization's best since 2005. Makhlouf then further discussed if outsiders are being too critical of La Russa. Later, he took calls on La Russa's work early in the season and other White Sox topics.
