Is it possible to influence how a team does by just talking about them? Does this show have some strange cosmic power over the performance of White Sox players? We talk about Adam Engel's week, Yoan Moncada's struggles and a ballpark experience that is not as good as it should be these days. Scott Merkin of MLB.com also joins us with insider tidbits after he took some pre-trade deadline abuse.
