May 15 - The Rebirth of the Chicago White Sox

Suds, Schwab, and JT are back with another Chicago White Sox podcast as the Sox sweep the Kansas City Royals, move over .500 at 22–21, and sit just one game back in the AL Central. The guys break down why this White Sox team feels different — stronger starting pitching, improved defense, better energy, and real leadership from Mune Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Chase Meidroth, and Sammy Antonacci.

In this White Sox episode:

  • White Sox sweep the Royals and move over .500
  • Davis Martin’s hot start and long-shot AL Cy Young conversation
  • Grant Taylor bullpen usage and Will Venable’s decision-making
  • Roster crunch with Austin Hays and Everson Pereira returning
  • Mune Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Vargas, and the new Sox core
  • Noah Schultz, Hagen Smith, and White Sox pitching development
  • Cubs vs. White Sox series preview
  • John Schriffen broadcast frustration and White Sox fan therapy

Sit back, relax, and strap it down — White Sox therapy.

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
