Good Guys Talk Back

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Our Chicago White Sox are at the halfway point of the season and hold a share of first place while being four games over. Series wins against Cleveland and Kansas City furthered their dominance at home. An absolute beating of the Royals in the series opener has helped catapult the Sox to a +18 run differential. It's been great having Teel back and...

Hey Sox fans! Wow, what a tough week for our Chicago White Sox. They got roughed up in New York and then embarrassed themselves in Detroit. Was Will Venable over managing in the Detroit finale? Can we trust Domiguez as a closer? The Sox need to have a short memory and soak up the energy of the South Side because Cleveland will be a tough foe. Kyle Teel is looking more and more like he's ready...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox just had one amazing week. The Sox took two of two from the Atlanta Braves then took two of three from the LA Dodgers. Outstanding performances from Davis Martin, Chase Meidroth and the new kid on the block: Braden Montgomery. The Sox are tied with Cleveland at the top of the Central and have a big week on the road in New York and Detroit. This team is special and w...

Sox fans! Welcome back to a brand new episode. Our Chicago White Sox had a rough week on the road. They went (2-4) against Minnesota and Philadelphia. Sox offense continues to produce even without Murakami. Antonacci and Peters are a joy to watch and even Benintendi has stepped it up. The rest of the month is very tough and without reliable pitching, it will be a disaster. The Sox need to get more...

Sox fans! Welcome back to having fun as a Chicago White Sox fan. The Sox swept the Tigers and took three of four from the Twins. Our South Siders are 11-3 against the AL Central and are trailing the Guardians by one game. The injury to Murakami is a big deal and the Sox will miss him greatly but guys will step up to fill the void. This White Sox club is not a one trick pony. Jacob Gonzalez and Dav...

Sox fans! Happy Memorial Day weekend. Our Chicago White Sox find themselves at .500 as the unofficial start of summer hits. The Sox were in a much different spot last year so should we just be happy they are (26-26) or is it okay to want a little more. After a rough trip out west, the Sox head back home and host a pair of AL Central rivals: The Twins and the Tigers. June will be a difficult month...

Sox fans! What a week and what a weekend. Our Chicago White Sox swept the pesky Kansas City Royals then took 2 of 3 from the North Siders in dramatic fashion. This series had absolutely everything and the Sox are now making a name for themselves beyond the city limits. There is still work to be done as our Sox trail the Guardians by one game in the division. For now though, the White Sox head west...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox are just one game out of the AL Central and despite being a couple of games under .500, there is no need to apologize. This is where the division is at and right now, it's there for the Sox to grab. Mune, Vargas, Martin, Hudson and Colson made this past week very fun. Do you want to see Murakami in the HR Derby? What about the Sox as deadline buyers? What should...

Hey Sox fans! What a week for our Sox. The Chicago White Sox sweep the Angels then went out west and took two of three from the Padres. The Sox attacked with the long ball and then demonstrated their versatility with some small ball while getting great pitching from Schultz and Burke. The Sox are fun to watch and are giving us something to believe in right now. Just two games under .500 as the Sox...

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Our Chicago White Sox left some wins on the table this past weekend but are actually close to being a .500 team in the month of April. The Sox have not hit the 11 win mark after 28 games since 2022. That year they finished the season 81-81. Murakami had a big week and Montgomery joined in on the long ball fun. The inability to win in extra innings or...

Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox took two of three from the A's after being swept away by the Rays. Murakami put on an absolute show in Sacramento. He kicked off the series with a moonshot and hit three home runs in three games. Noah Schultz pitched twice since our last episode. His debut was forgettable but his outing in the series finale against the A's was a nice rebound. Sox continued t...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox struggled to find wins this past week. They were swept by Baltimore and then split with Kansas City. Starting pitching was solid but the offense was nearly non existent. Murakami has been in a lull and the big hits just were not there. The Sox are not getting blown out but the losses are still frustrating. There is always hope and it is arriving this week. Noah...

Hey Sox fans! Our Chicago White Sox gave us a pretty nice weekend. The Sox swept the defending AL Champs by flipping last week's script. They pitched well, got guys on base and were aggressive while also taking advantage of their opponent's mistakes. Hopefully the momentum will carry into this coming week. Also, HUGE news: The White Sox will be retiring Ozzie Guillen's number 13 on Aug...

Hey Sox fans! Baseball has been back for less than a week and we already need a reset. Our Chicago White Sox were embarrassed in Milwaukee by the brew crew. The finale looked promising until the Sox bullpen gave up six runs and blew it. Sox pitching, offensive production and Benitendi need to make a change. One of the only bright spots was Munetaka Murakami hitting three home runs in three games....

Sox fans! Opening Day is upon us. Our Chicago White Sox make their way to Milwaukee to take on the brew crew. Some interesting developments in the catching department for the Sox. Reese McGuire has been brought back and Korey Lee is not expected to make the Opening Day roster. What's next for Lee? Kyle Teel sounds very optimistic regarding his injured hamstring. Maybe a return in mid April? So...

Sox fans! We're back and excited to talk White Sox baseball. Spring training is winding down and Lenyn Sosa continues to hit. Kyle Teel's hamstring injury could provide Sosa with a pathway to making the club. The WBC has lived up to the hype with several White Sox players taking advantage of the bright lights. Shane Smith is your Opening Day starter but what about the rest of the rotation?...

Sox fans! Welcome to a brand new episode. Our Chicago White Sox have impressed early on in Cactus League play. Battles for the infield, outfield and starting rotation are alive and well. Can Lenyn Sosa hang on for a starting position? How are the Sox getting techy? Can the vibes and attitude propel a fast start? Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. Pitchers and catchers have reported while Murakami is excited by bidets and his teammates rave about them... and about his power. Sox look to stretch several arms out, providing flexibility with the rotation. PECOTA says 69 wins. Over or under? Getz is confused on a player's ability to switch hit and are the Dodgers helping or hurting baseball? Th...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to the program. SoxFest wrapped up, Luis Robert Jr. is long one, Chris Getz & Co. keep checking boxes and the 2026 promo schedule has dropped. There's excitement on our end for what's the come and the White Sox are leaning into the youth movement. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

Hey Sox fans! We're living in a Bears dominated world but we try to scratch out a little White Sox chatter in the middle of January. Sox pick up Jarred Kelenic and Sean Nowcomb but things have been very quite for the Sox since the Murakami deal. Why not be more aggressive? There are some names out there that could fit in with where the Sox are heading but do you want to see a reunion with Monc...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back and what an exciting time to be a Sox fan. Japanese slugger, Munetaka Murakami signs with the White Sox and the Sox land the first pick in the 2026 amateur draft. Nothing short of Christmas miracles. What other moves could the Sox make and are the Sox really ready to finally move on from Luis Robert Jr.? Enjoy the conversation and thank you for the...

Sox fans! Welcome to the start of the 8th season of Good Guys Talk Back. Winter Meetings are on deck. Will Luis Robert Jr. make it through the off-season? How much influence does Ishbida have these days? Reclamation projects are the probable path once again but is there a splash to be made? We look at the anniversary of the Chris Sale and torture ourselves over what could have been. Also, the Sox...

Sox fans! We're back and so are you... for that we are very thankful. Sox hire a pair of coaches and say goodbye to another. The LRJ option has been picked so will he be dealt in December? The need for pitching is an understatement but where are you getting the extra arms? Are you excited for SoxFest returning to Ramova? White Sox have a 27% chance at the No. 1 pick in early December. Do you h...

Hey Sox fans! We're back and hopefully so are you. What a postseason and what a World Series. The Sox offseason has begun. We discuss the vacancies on the coaching staff and where the Sox might look for bullpen help. What position needs an upgrade? Also, Darrin Jackson weighs in on how long it might take for the Sox to get back to the postseason. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #W...

Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox finished 162 in a strong way. They made it to 60 wins but lost 100 games for the third year in a row. Despite the overall finish, the Sox provided us with a lot to look forward to in 2026. Bolstering the bullpen will be a focus and hopefully money will be spent on some additional offense. We thank all of you so very much for being with us...
