June 12 - Buzzin' on the Southside

Suds and Schwab are back with Nick Sr in the guest chair — and for a team that’s 23–45, there’s somehow a lot to talk about.

This episode hits everything from the recent youth movement to Getz's legacy (depending on who you ask, he's either a B or a straight-up F).

Topics include

  • The emergence of Meidroth, Teal, Vargas, Quero, and Shane Smith
  • The Grant Taylor bullpen debate
  • Why Alex Call (!!) leads all Sox prospects from the rebuild era in WAR this year
  • A full teardown of the 2017–2020 farm system failures
  • The slow-motion saga of Jerry Reinsdorf’s potential sale
  • And yes, a few minutes of dreaming about Justin Ishbia, Paul Skenes, and Benetti all joining the Sox in 2029

Somewhere in the chaos: Sammy Zavala is on fire, Gavin Sheets is hanging on, and the boys can’t quite decide if Elko is a fringe guy or a real answer at first.

Sit back, Relax, and Strap it down.

About the Podcast

Strap it Down - White Sox Therapy
Strap it Down CWS
We're here every week to talk White Sox Baseball. Four White Sox fans from the Northwest side of Chicago that grew up going to Sox games. From the Big Hurt to Paulie K to TA, we are on our 4th generation of White Sox teams and we love the pain of losing as much as we love the joy of winning.

Our show covers an array of topics. We are always looking to keep things in perspective with a positive outlook but always looking for ways to constructively criticize our beloved. We also like to spend time covering future White Sox prospects and trending White Sox topics.

Segments you can expect to hear each week include:
Weekly Recap and preview
Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) thoughts
Let's Get Pickled
