Rundown

  • [Intro] Michael Kopech pitches an Immaculate Inning thanks to throwing more cutters. Will we finally see Kopech mix up his pitch offerings in upcoming outings?
  • [10:32] Eloy Jimenez is really struggling in his return back from injury. More than 71% of his batted balls are grounders and he hasn't hit a home run since May 14. What will change for Jimenez and could the White Sox move on from Jimenez sooner than later?
  • [18:58] Drew Thorpe has four straight starts of 6+ innings, allowing three hits or fewer, and two runs or fewer. But he's not striking out lots of batters. How is he accomplishing this level of success?
  • [24:13] Series Preview: Pittsburgh Pirates. How awesome Paul Skenes is and should the Pirates buy at the trade deadline?
  • [35:41] Instead of telling you who we think the White Sox will pick fifth overall, we pick the player we actually want the White Sox to take

Bonus content: Josh joined Jarrett Payton and Josh Frydman on WGN Sports to talk about the Chicago White Sox.
