All year long Jose Abreu has been getting hit by inside pitches. On Monday enough was enough. Scot Gregor of the Daily Herald thinks it could be an added spark at just the right time for the White Sox. He joins us to talk about what he saw, and conversations with Abreu about his tendency to get plunked. Gregor also has insight into the team's expectations for Carlos Rodon and the ALDS pitchig rotation. We also explain why the White Sox pitchers have a big advantage over Astros pitchers, and it all centers around Dylan Cease.
