Guest: Alex Call, Birmingham Barons
The Rundown:
- Michael Kopech has been called up by the Chicago White Sox (finally). We discuss what fans should expect from Kopech, guess how Hahn will shuffle the roster to fit Kopech, and how Eloy Jimenez will join Kopech in Chicago.
- Rick Renteria is not having a good week after benching Avisail Garcia for not hustling hard enough, and requiring Adam Engel to bunt with two strikes. Have these tendencies changed our mind about Renteria moving forward?
- Our guest this week is Birmingham Barons outfielder, Alex Call. He shares his journey bouncing back from injury in 2017, what has been different for him this season, and how launch angle/exit velocity helps him improve.
- Finally, we answer your questions in P.O. Sox.
Since Josh's hot take on Delmonico he's gone 4/11 3R 2HR 6RBIs. Keen to know who Jim thinks Josh should be targeting this week #POSox

Given the rules, https://t.co/FFCidF52dF , who should the Sox send to the Arizona Fall league?

Who most likely takes Shields spot in the 2019 opening day rotation, another well-past-his-prime acquisition or someone like Adams or Stephens? Any dark horse candidates? #POSox
