The worst kept secret in Chicago is the White Sox are not calling up Luis Robert after the Charlotte Knights season is over. So why are they so sensitive and requiring video to be taken down when Frank Thomas reports it? We examine the odd handling of the situation by the White Sox and how they may be alone in manipulating service time in 2019. 

Plus, a look at Dylan Cease's first 10 starts, and preview White Sox vs. Braves.
