  • Sports commentators who listen

    I'll share a short tale to describe why this podcast is the most refreshing sports commentary I've heard. Chris, the host, has strong opinions as would be expected of someone who professionally comments on white sox current events. However, he doesn't defend his opinions as though they were his children, as is most common on sports radio. I actually heard him respond to a different opinion from his wing-man, Ed, once, "You know, I never thought of it that way. I think you might be right." This ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

White Sox May Have A Problem Here
Q: What was the rationale discussed for not promoting Sam Antonacci on the same day as Noah Schultz, and does it reflect a broader promotional strategy?
The hosts suggest it might be a marketing ploy or a calculated, staged 'Antonacci day' designed to manage rookie promotions and commentary, rather than pure baseball logic, implying promotion timing is influenced by public relations and fan engagement just as much as performance.
Coop, Larry and Making Better White Sox Hitters
Q: Can you walk us through what you and Devin did for the White Sox with biomechanical data?
We dug into biomechanical data from Hawkeye to extract insights on hitting, identify undervalued players, and find mechanical changes that could significantly increase bat speed and overall performance, while also being cautious about noise in the data.
White Sox Roster Has Less Battles Than You Think
Q: Who's going to be here later this year?
The guest suggests a mix of early debuts for Schultz, Smith, and McDougall, with possible mid-year promotions and rotations involving veterans like Burke and Cannon, while others may stay in the minors to gain innings before contributing.
The Science Of Making Better White Sox Hitters
Q: Is it possible to identify players that can be fixed based on the data?
Yes, the project allows the White Sox to identify players with correctable flaws that can lead to improved performance.
The Science Of Making Better White Sox Hitters
Q: How does the data you collected impact player development?
The data allows for targeted improvements, helping players make specific changes to enhance performance.
