White Sox Business: A show about the Chicago White Sox episodes

September 10, 2020 Moncada, Anderson Are 'All Hands In', Keuchel Hits IL, Could Robert, Eloy Enjoy 300/500 Home Run Careers?
Ah, the University of Notre Dame, a paralleled education institution where the student body's mood is generally dictated by the football team's success. The lows are low and highs...well, it's mostly all low. Just look at the 2013 natty. Yikes. Jon and Fighting Irish alum, James, examine Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada's plate discipline, specifically, how manipulating their hands has improved their at bats (5:30). *Insert timely breaking news sound effect* Dallas Keuchel has been placed on the 10-day IL (9:45). With Keuchel seemingly unavailable the next two series, is concern for his injury greater than what was initially thought? Was Reynaldo Lopez's stint in Schaumburg long enough to make a meaningful tweak to his game? Let's make an excuse to talk about Notre Dame and its football team (13:30)! Andrew Vaughn continues to develop at the Sox's satellite camp in hopes of earning a big league spot in the near future (21:00). James brown noses his boss by opining Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert's chances at hitting 300, hell, let's make it 500 career home runs (28:30).

September 07, 2020 Giolito's Game-Changing Changeup, Moncada's Covid-19 Fatigue & Hurlers' Heath Concerns
Is it safe to say the White Sox's dance game be weak? Without Zack Collins, semi-coordinated, out-of-step routines are but a shell of themselves. All right, let's broach everyone's favorite topic, the pitching staff: Dallas Keuchel was limited in his last start because of back pain and Alex Colome, though effective, has a recovery routine equivalent to the time it takes James to score in FIFA (a long ass time), among other red flags. What are Jon and James' opinion of the Sox dinged up hurlers as we head into the home stretch of the regular season (2:45)? What's the difference between a warlock and wizard? I guess it doesn't matter because Lucas Giolito's changeup is seemingly vanishing in front of opposing hitters to the point where magic is a valid explanation (11:00). James details Yoan Moncada's persistent struggle with post-Covid-19 symptoms (17:30). Plus, a look ahead to Chicago's remaining divisional series with the AL Central title at stake (22:15).

September 03, 2020 Lopez Languishing, Ricky’s Bullpen Management & Twins Takeaways
The Sox dynasty is forming! Just you watch! Chicago will be known as the creme de la creme of all professional sports leagues once they've dispatched Kansas City...Pittsburgh...and Detro...I'll stop now. Reynaldo Lopez, once again, failed to produce at least two innings of work against Minnesota, and was pulled from the series finale after recording just five outs (:30). Jon and James try to diagnose the reason behind Lopez's shortcomings before ranking the three through five starters' upside (4:00). OK. You Bizners win. Let's talk about Ricky's bullpen management (8:15). We learned that the Sox learned some valuable lessons from the Twins series, did you (14:30)? Go ahead and spit shine the ol' MLB crown, because it's coming home to Chicago after the next three series...and only those three series, we're not taking into account anything else (23:30).

August 31, 2020 Trade Deadline Deduction, Kopech Keeps Favor, Dunning to Stay & Twins Grab Bag
We'll always have Jarrod Dyson to remind us of this year's trade deadline. Jon and James take inventory of the Sox and other clubs after the trade deadline (:30). Why weren't the Sox disposed to making more trades? Do we find their lack of deals disturbing, young Bizner? Yolmer and Madrigal are back, yay (6:30)!! Why was there a meeting of the team's elder statesmen (10:15)? Was there merit to the Sox dealing for Clevinger, and was Kopech ever going to be really traded (14:00)? Lastly, J&J give you the 411 on the Twins (16:15).

August 26, 2020 A Year to Forget but a Moment to Remember: Lucas Giolito's No-Hitter
On an abnormal night at Guaranteed Rate Field, where the park's power cut out, a burning smell wafted into the press box and short ribs weren't served, Lucas Giolito made baseball history. Jon and James react to Giolito's no-hitter against Pittsburgh and the weight of history that accompanied the last throws (:30). The guys dive into Giolito's 2018 game-changing transformation, and his ironclad bond with James McCann (8:00). James details Rick Giolito's, Lucas' father, viewing experience as the innings grew shorter and the anticipation swelled (12:00). Plus, how did the rest of the Giolito clan watch Lucas make history (18:45)?

August 24, 2020 Sox Conquer Cubs in Crosstown Cup, Abreu's Brilliant Bombs, All-City Team Picks & More
Aside from winning the pennant, an AL Central title, or an MVP award, what better scene is there than the White Sox hoisting the Crosstown Cup for the first time since 2016 *Chef's Kiss*? Jon and James skip the blather and bounce directly into their takeaways from the Sox/Cubs series (:30). Jon Lester's stuff has reached the not-good-enough-to-get-away-with-mistakes tier and it showed. Abreu, Eloy and Luis were all dialing long distance (7:30). Which players should comprise Chicago's All-City team taking into account this series (13:30)? Dallas Keuchel keeps demonstrating how reliable he is (23:30). Plus, why did Renteria allow Cease to pitch through the sixth inning (26:45)? Oh, and Chicago plays Pittsburgh next, fwiw (29:30).

August 21, 2020 Tim Anderson Annihilates Detroit, Dunning's Debut and Other Pitching Musings + The Crosstown Cup Begins!
Just hand the pennant to the Sox now. Did you not see how they dismantled Detroit?! What?! Detroit is the opposite of good? OK. Jon and James are conducting the White Sox-Won't-Lose-Another-Game-Train (not really) and their first stop is at Tim Anderson station (:15). How elite has Anderson been since his return to the line up? Is his smoldering bat just a few degrees cooler than Fernando Tatis Jr. as the world's current, best hitter? The South Side's spitfires finally strung together a series of encouraging starts (13:00). What was working for Giolito in his career-high day? What are James' thoughts about Dane Dunning's debut (15:30), and what about Dylan Cease and Gio Gonzales (18:30)? The guys take a peek at this weekend's Crosstown Cup, including the probable starters (31:30).

August 17, 2020 The Art of Dodging a Sweep: Sox Slug 4-Straight Homers, What's the Biggest Reason for Concern & Is Renteria Resting on Hot Seat?
Someone needs to pay DJ Kahlid overtime after the Sox's monstrous fifth inning home run hoedown against St. Louis on Sunday. Aside from the jaw-dropping homer exhibition, the Sox only narrowly avoided a sweep against a team that hadn't played a game in over two weeks (:30). What does this near catastrophe at the hands the Cardinals mean for Chicago? Although the team is playing .500-caliber baseball, is Ricky on the hot seat (7:30)? Regardless of the answer, why should/shouldn't he be the target for criticism? A multitude of issues have washed over the Sox so far this year, but which is the biggest cause for concern (17:00)? Lastly, the White Sox carry a rigid attitude on access (25:30).

August 13, 2020 Keuchel Calls Out Teammates, Homestand Hopefuls & Time to Call Up Crochet?
We may never escape Marc Carig's sneer and haughty gaze from his West/East coast media ivory tower (call back to last episode, so take a listen if you missed it, Bizners), but that won't stop us from persevering and chatting about the Sox! Dallas Keuchel spoke his mind and the truth when he addressed his teammates and commented on some players "kind of going through the motions" (:30). Was a reality check necessary, and is Keuchel's haranguing enough to galvanize the Sox? The "Energizer bunny, baby", Tim Anderson's, return to the offense could not have come at a better time (7:45). Plus, is Anderson still the best option at leadoff right now? How will the Sox adapt to all their bullpen injuries (13:00)? Could we finally see Garrett Crochet? With the Sox playing in Chicago through August 30th, could this homestand be the panacea for the Sox's inconsistent play (20:00)?
