Sox Populi Postgame Podcast 24 — FIRST PLACE! — 2026-06-10

The White Sox were in first place by percentage points via Cleveland loss earlier in the day, but the Sox Populi crew of Brett Ballantini, Chrystal O'Keefe and Melissa Sage-Bollenbach were going to make the team earn a celebratory postgame podcast with a win over vaunted Atlanta — and win they did, 2-1, moving a full half-game into first.

The trio spoke of the surprises of the season, favorite players to watch — and fears, if any, lurking on the road ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
