The SID crew gets together and the White Sox actually win a game during the pod—a rare live dub on a Friday night. Suds and Schwab celebrate the small miracle, then immediately spiral into confusion over the Elko demotion, the team’s obsession with fringe roster guys, and a minor league development strategy that feels allergic to innings. Vaughn’s WAR is historically awful, CHSN is charging $19.99 for buffering, and the 2027 core might include three dudes—if we're lucky. The vibes are still bad... just slightly less hopeless.

Also on deck:

• Why Tim Elko got demoted with Vaughn after finally getting the call
• Vinny Capra, Palacios, Rojas, Slater... seriously, what are we doing?
• The Sox treat pitching prospects like they’re made of glass
• $19.99/month to watch Vinny Capra?
• Meidroth is what we thought Nicky Mads would be—Pedroia vibes
• Shane Smith: legit SP3? Davis Martin: SP5? Maybe?

…but hey—at least it gives us something to talk about. 🎧

Sit Back, Relax, and Strap it Down.
