Strap it Down - White Sox Therapy

With the season now wrapped up, we are back for the season long report cards - a two-part episode where we grade pitchers and position players that had significant playing time during the year. In this episode, we talk which pitchers surprised and which pitchers disappointed. Later this week we will drop our Season 1 finale grading position players.

The boys are back for an emergency podcast to discuss JT -Jack Touhy's tweet about rumblings that Ozzie will be back to manage the Sox in 2023 from our Twitter account. We chat about White Sox Twitter's response to the tweet and why it got such a big reaction. Suds is in Disney during tweet and Schwab questions who's crazier between Suds and JT. DJP shares a surprise for Let's Get Pickled.

Suds, Schwaby and JT are back with a special guest, Suds Sr., to talk about the White Sox funeral. We play the blame game and discuss what went wrong in the Sox Guardians series. We also talk the fork in the road that led us to one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory. Suds has his PMA moment by throwing away money on a White Sox future.

The boys are back again after a 2 week break. The Admiral is the focus of the discussion as he leads the Sox on their recent hot streak. We talk the must win game in Cleveland and Tito's odd decision to punt the game. Predictions are made for the huge upcoming series with the Guardians. We chat the upcoming Bears Pack game in GB and more.

The whole crew is back to talk about the Sox recent two week stretch. There are plenty of HOF baseball person decisions to discuss and we do a welfare check on Rick. The boys share their thoughts on Project Birmingham. Suds calls out Mush for his fantasy football antics this past week. Mush gives his fantasy sleeper picks for the year.

Schwaby and Suds welcome Kevin Manson as a special guest for the week. Kevin uses his D-1 college pitching experience to breakdown the Guardians pitching staff. We analyze the huge upcoming series in Cleveland. Schwaby makes his call for the new manager of the White Sox. Suds shares his thoughts on Tatis' recent suspension.

The Schwab, Touhy and Suds get together to talk about the White Sox poor play against inferior opponents. We dish out some blame and discuss who is the most responsible (Rick, Tony, Frank?). We comment on Stoney calling out the club. Are the Sox the least fun team in the league?

The full crew is back for a live episode. Rick Hahn lied to White Sox fans and we evaluate why. We all pick the winners and losers from the trade deadline. We choose which team we want to switch allegiances to and why. The Astros do in fact play on grass. Mush evaluates Italian restaurants and we talk about the upcoming week for the White Sox.

It's time for the Hot Stove. The crew talks if it's time for change for our White Sox with the Trade deadline looming. JT joins us for a guest appearance and gives us a dose of reality while he dreams of Juan Soto. Schwaby has had enough of the Tony experiment. Suds is not happy with the missed opportunities. Dave ranks wings.

The boys are back to talk White Sox baseball before the 2nd half kicks off. It's report card day. We give grades on every player from the 1st half of the season (and Tony and Rick are not left off the hook). Suds talks about his guy Yermin, Dave talks best sandwiches in the city, and Schwaby metrics breaks down the important stats of the first half.
