Rundown

• [Intro] 1-5 Start: Len Kasper and Darrin Jackson on the radio mentioned that every team has a six-game span like this during a 162-game season. But when it feels way worse when a team starts a season like this. Do you imagine any panic within the White Sox clubhouse after this opening road trip?
• [5:54] Run Prevention Issues: White Sox have allowed the most runs in MLB (52; TB second at 38 runs) and staff ERA is 8.63. What are the issues White Sox are having in preventing runs?
• [10:23] Shane Smith: He’s not looking himself and the fastball command is problematic. His next start is at home against Baltimore. If Smith struggles again, is his spot in the rotation at risk?
• [22:37] Offensive Issues: Despite being in the Top 3 of team home runs, the White Sox are batting .192/.266/.342 (.608 OPS). Is it possible coming home, utilizing Trajekt and other resources at Rate Field, can help get the hitters to be more consistent?
• [27:21] Series Preview: Toronto Blue Jays
• [31:09] It will only be 9 games in, but if the White Sox after this series are 2-7 or 1-8, are the visions of a 70 or more win season dashed? Would we need to recalibrate what 2026 is supposed to be for the White Sox?
• [39:48] Around MLB: Draft Bonus Pool announced and how are our fantasy baseball teams are faring.
