Brett Ballantini and Tommy Barbee debut Bleav in White Sox, with a long, jam-packed first episode.
For a first program, we both made our introductions and talked about our White Sox fan and writing backgrounds, how we came to be White Sox friends, and about the White Sox site we write for, South Side Sox.
From there, it's delicious discussion about the masterful starting rotation for the White Sox, with particular plaudits for back-end starters Carlos Rodón and Dylan Cease.
Yep, we gotta talk Tony La Russa, particularly his "mWAR" and how big an impact he's already had on the White Sox this season. Also, Rick Hahn is about to find his GM mettle tested, as he desperately needs outfield reinforcements before the dog days set in.
And how about some discussion of the team's killer run differential, best in baseball and putting the team on pace for 109 wins. Sustainable? Hmm.
Finally, we turn our attention to the contenders and pretenders of the AL Central, with particular focus put on, you betcha, upcoming opponent the Minnesota Twins.
