Liam Hendriks: An Incredible 2023 White Sox Moment

An Adventure At Guaranteed Rate Field
If you suddenly had access to the field where the White Sox play, what would you do? Some fans may take batting practice or shag some fly balls. Some may marvel at the scope of Guaranteed Rate Field.

They also have a couple future pieces unlikely to be moved unless the return is big, including their 2023 rightfielder Oscar Colas. We also peer into the managerial search as we imagine it behind closed doors at 35th & Shields. There is name other than Joe Espada that could be available after the World Series.

Finding Positivity With The White Sox
In the face of some justified negativity about the current state of the Chicago White Sox, we try to do an entirely positive show. Can we find the positives in weird rumors that Jim Thome could be the next manager? Is it possible to stay positive looking at projections for starting position players? Can you feel positive about the ability to create a more balanced lineup with what is available on the open market? Yes. (Seriously.)

White Sox Blueprint Is In This Postseason
When you look at the teams winning in the 2022 MLB Postseason, one of them is a mirror image to the White Sox in how they were constructed. When you look at who the White Sox should mimic going forward, though, it is a different postseason team. Let's look through the roster and find some offseason spending money too. It's all in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Who Wants To Manage The White Sox?
The White Sox are interviewing managers, and other potential managers are doing their rounds in the media. Two very different types of managers have been interviewed so far. We've found our front-runner thus far. Plus, we examine the new shift rules in 2023 and ask if any White Sox player will see a positive impact. One Sox hitter projects to benefit, while a few others may not see much of a difference.

We're running through the roster with White Sox players poised for better seasons in 2023. Not everyone is going to improve, though. We're also asking if celebrating a single postseason win in 2021 is healthy for fans wanting so much more.

Hear his thoughts on not getting to question Jerry Reinsdorf at this week's press conference as well. Meanwhile we sat down with a group of White Sox season ticket holders to find out what they think of this season all while drinking free beer at the ballpark.

Wash, Rinse, Dry & Repeat (The White Sox Way)
Two years after a press conference announcing the type of manager he was looking for, Rick Hahn was basically saying the same thing again as Tony La Russa retired on Monday. What confidence do you have the same decision-makers can achieve better results? James Fox of FutureSox joins us with a managerial wishlist and who he believes is already out of the running. The process, though, may already have flaws if the team doesn't substantially change how they've formed a dugout in the past. We've got your "30 Minutes of Sox!"

We have a fun baseball conversation because it has nothing to do with the White Sox.

White Sox Need A New Direction...And Slogan

We break down a roster that isn't as young as you may think, and start to form a picture of what has to be done this offseason. One thing for sure is the franchise needs a new marketing phrase, because they didn't come close to changing the game. We present an alternative team slogan in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Could Change Fantasy To Reality
The White Sox will essentially face three elimination games in a row versus Cleveland this week, and Miguel Cairo has to manage each game as a must-win. Meanwhile, we are also visiting with Scott White of CBS Sports. The fantasy baseball guru talks about MLB's new rules starting in 2023, how those rules will change the game, and what types of players should see a production increase.

Now the White Sox must look at his health, the results of changing managers and how they can spin this season to fans by making a final decision on La Russa's fate. The worst thing they can do is allow this to linger and let Tony's status become a distraction.

Get an update on some high draft picks tearing it up in the minors for the White Sox, and Adam Kaplan of Sox On 35th breaks down the likely All-Stars on this team.

Running The White Sox Without Pants
Have you ever fantasized about running the White Sox? What would you do first? Let's fire a few people and ask a question of the team's scouts that any credible team would ask immediately. We're kicking of this episode, though, with the voice of Ed Farmer and an incredible charity event he threw his support behind years ago. Now Sox In The Basement is jumping in to help The Tom Hopkins Foundation and the Papa Hops 16" Softball Tournament on the South Side.

White Sox Must Stay In Their Groove

White Sox Look To Build Momentum
The next several weeks can propel this White Sox team into legitimate contention, or seal their fate. It doesn't help that Lucas Giolito has not performed as a front-line starter this season. We take a look at the numbers, and ask if Ethan Katz can fix a pitcher he has fixed before. We are also taking a variety of listener calls as Sox fans try to find the positives, and share some outlandish ideas.

Fixing Up The White Sox 40-Man
The White Sox should be right on the heels of the Twins, which is a weird place to find optimism. That said, championship teams use their 40-man roster to push for titles. So why do the White Sox have so much dead weight? We learn about a few pitchers who should be added to that roster from Michael Suareo of SoxOn35th.com. We also notice an offensive return to the norm.

Burger Story A White Sox Bright Spot
The White Sox took a likely 4-2 (possibly 5-1) homestand and turned it into a 2-4 debacle. The manager seems lost. High-end talent is playing at a low level. The organization looks bad from top to bottom. In the middle of it all there is a great story in Jake Burger. We welcome his new fiancé Ashlyn Carmela for details on his proposal this past weekend, what this season has been like so far for the couple and how Jake reacts to errors & homeruns.

Sox Prospect Development And Cage Matches
White Sox Player Development Hitting Coach Devin DeYoung joins the show before he heads down to Arizona to work with the young prospects in the system. Learn about their offseason homework, what some of the recent high-end draft picks are doing and which young player he listened to hit recently over the phone. We're also placing MLB's Rob Manfred and MLBPA Tony Clark into alternative conflicts to see who would come out on top. If we can't have baseball, we can at least make fun of those who took it away.

Baseball Strikes Out
Major League Baseball's State Run Media duped fans into thinking Opening Day could be saved, but they couldn't force a new CBA into existence. We take to task the lying and greed that has ripped away a glorious spring of baseball, and insulted intelligent fans everywhere. A White Sox season with World Series aspirations is now on indefinite hold, and you have the right to be angry.

Sox Fans Reaching The Breaking Point
Stress makes you do dumb things. (Like accidentally posting an episode of South Side Pod - another show on our network - on the Sox In The Basement feed. Those who listened early on Friday got a very different show. Oops.)
Anywho...The stress has gotten to one of the guys and his advice is to start drinking heavily. We hold a "Bad Take Tournament" to find the worst White Sox takes of the offseason. The lack of baseball has produced some awful opinions, so we'll add ours into the mix in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Is Dallas Keuchel Cooked Or Cooking?
Is Dallas Keuchel cooked? That's a question with two different answers in this episode as the guys debate what they expect to see from the White Sox pitcher in 2022. Meanwhile the latest in the CBA negotiations has us believing we are in the home stretch. That's good news because everyone has pretty much covered everything across the White Sox landscape at this point, and we need baseball back.

Sox Fest is cancelled. Fans are falling in love with available free agents. But the decision made by the White Sox to not offer an $18MM+ qualifying offer to Carlos Rodon spoke loudly. We take you through the process and why it seems that Rick Hahn and the Sox no longer trusted the arm of Rodon. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, right? We think so, and it opens up a world of possibility.

James Fox Tries To Predict The Future (Sox)
As White Sox fans start defending their favorite players from trade speculation and writing their free agent wish list, our guy James Fox of Future Sox jumps in with some knowledge. Why did the White Sox wait to talk about their season with the media? Are there minor league names you should know about before the Rule 5 Draft? Will the White Sox payroll increase this offseason (yes) and why? Will Carlos Rodon get a Qualifying Offer? What kind of free agents are the Sox chasing? We get into it as the White Sox off-season truly begins this weekend.

And the narrative that the White Sox have spent all their money isn't entirely accurate...at least it shouldn't be.

The White Sox' Second Half is 90 Percent Mental
The show gets an audience with "The Pope" Don Pall and discusses the mental and physical benedictions needed for a major league player to get through the second half of a season. Will having a lead be better for players to stay focused, and is too much of a lead a good thing? Will the pitchers stay healthy? Ten years in and out of major league bullpens gives a guy some insight, and a nickname bestowed from above makes for some interesting mail.

White Sox Bats That Need A Promotion

A problem created in part by how the team was constructed is not impossible to solve. The White Sox have to act differently, though, than their norm. Can they adjust before it is too late?

Tony La Russa: White Sox Lightning Rod
He is either a crazy old man stuck inside of a mystical world of "unwritten rules" that - to him - are more important than his own players, or a sly old fox keeping the focus on himself while his young team plays loose against the whole world.

Reinsdorf's White Sox Budget Misses An Opportunity
With the addition of Jonathan Lucroy on a minor league contract, the White Sox may have their eventual backup catcher for 2021. Unfortunately the hard numbers show a strict budget Jerry Reinsdorf handed to Rick Hahn this year. A lack of payroll addition has taken a golden opportunity away, and created obstacles to the White Sox 2021 championship aspirations.
