Summary

After a rough 1-5 start, the White Sox are an even 5-5 over their last 10 games with some more excitement along the way. Noah Schultz will be making his MLB debut on Tuesday, and Jordan Lazowski, Nik Gaur, and Brett Haffner are here to talk about it and much more! They start by talking about the confirmed call-up of Schultz and rumored call-up of Sam Antonacci. What does "success" look like for Schultz this year? And how can Antonacci bring a missing element to a struggling White Sox offense? At the same time, Schultz's promotion comes to fill in Shane Smith's spot in the rotation after he was sent to Triple-A after just three starts. Was this too quick of a change by the team for someone who was their Opening Day starter? How quickly could we see Smith return? And what does this all say about some of the changes made to the pitching department in previous years? Finally, the crew talks about the offense - Will Venable and the White Sox don't seem to be concerned, but should they be? Make sure to tune in to a packed episode!
