Are the White Sox real? From Chicago to Atlanta baseball is heating up. | Back to the Bullpen

The White Sox are becoming one of the biggest surprise stories in Major League Baseball after sweeping the Tigers and climbing into the AL Central race. On this episode of Back to the Bullpen, we break down why Chicago suddenly looks like a legitimate playoff contender, how Colson Montgomery is emerging into a star, and why this rebuild may be ahead of schedule. We also dive into the Yankees’ historic 13-run inning against the Athletics, Aaron Judge calling out the team in the dugout, and how New York reminded everyone why they’re still one of the most dangerous offenses in baseball. Plus, Ronald Acuña Jr. is heating up again in Atlanta with five home runs in four games, Fernando Tatis Jr. finally snaps his massive home run drought for the Padres, and we discuss what both superstar players mean for their teams moving forward.
