Sox On 35th Podcast - Weekly Show on the Chicago White Sox

With just 19 games left to play, the White Sox magic number to win the AL Central is 16. Jordan Lazowski, Nik Gaur, and Michael Suareo are here to talk about everything that happened over the last week of games against Houston and Minnesota! Before the team took 2 of 3 against the Twins, they did lose 3 of 4 to Houston. Does it concern you that the team only went 2-5 this year against a potential playoff opponent? And how important do you think getting the #2 seed is for the team versus the importance of locking down the division title? The crew then talks about the White Sox shuffling their rotation a bit and wonder if they could shuffle it a bit more with some MiLB reinforcements. Should the team continue to run Luis Castillo out there? Or could it make more sense to insert Drew Thorpe into the picture? Finally, we all get excited over some new field renderings in the South Loop, courtesy of Justin Ishbia and Canal Edge! Visit SoxOn35th.com for White Sox news, analysis, commentary, and more!
