James really needs to wash his dishes; it's honestly getting out of hand. He doesn't even have a clean mug to use. This platform is ad free but please, someone send James a clean Dugout Mug, or any mug for that matter. Speaking of mugs, the White Sox poured runs into an quasi-empty and clean Wrigley Field on Sunday night against the Cubs in an exhibition game, which prompted Jon and James to share their observations from the contest (:30). Jon is all about the intrastate jawing on social media (that rapscallion--6:30). How crucial is Nick Madrigal to Chiacago's offense; is Andrew Vaughn on his way to Schaumburg, and will Yoan Moncada be ready for Opening Day (9:00)? The gents swap their impressions about the synthetic crowd noise (15:30) before discuss Lucas Giolito receiving the starting nod for Opening Day (20:45). Why did the Sox eliminate some baseball operations jobs (23:30)? Plus, we break some (food) news (28:00).
