The Blue Jays opened the second half of the season with one of their most disappointing performances of the year, falling 12–4 to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Toronto has now lost three straight games, sits at 45–52 and is 3.5 games back of the final AL Wild Card spot.On game preview 98 of Flight Deck, hosted by Dan Riccio, we break down another rough night for the Blue Jays' pitching staff. Spencer Miles allowed six runs on six hits over four-plus innings, including five runs in the second inning, as Toronto found itself facing another massive early deficit. How concerning was the team's first performance coming out of the All-Star break?The offence showed some power but was unable to create a sustained rally. Luis Urías, George Springer and Brandon Valenzuela each hit solo home runs, but Toronto finished with only seven hits and never seriously threatened to get back into the game. Can the Blue Jays turn those individual flashes of power into a more complete offensive performance?Unfortunately, things only got worse for the pitching staff as the game continued. Chicago added three runs in the fifth before exploding for five more in the seventh, led by Braden Montgomery's bases-clearing triple. Montgomery finished with four RBIs, Colson Montgomery drove in three and Sam Antonacci added a two-run home run. We'll discuss why Toronto has struggled so badly against a White Sox team that has now beaten the Blue Jays in all four meetings this season.Looking ahead, Shane Bieber takes the mound against Davis Martin in Game 2 of the series. Bieber enters with an 0–1 record and a 7.64 ERA, while Martin is 9–4 with a 3.41 ERA and 92 strikeouts. Martin has struggled recently despite his strong season totals, posting a 6.34 ERA across his last seven starts. Can Bieber build off a better outing against San Diego, earn his first win of the season and finally stop Chicago's dominance?Finally, with Toronto now sitting seven games below .500 and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, how much pressure is on the Blue Jays to turn things around immediately? At only 3.5 games outside of a playoff spot, can Ross Atkins still justify adding to this roster, or is the organization getting closer to becoming a seller?We finish with Dan's picks presented by bet365.LIVE every game day one hour before first pitch right here on the Blue Jays Nation YouTube channel and on Instagram @BlueJaysNation.Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode of Flight Deck.Thanks to our partners:bet365: http://www.bet365.caTable Fare + Social: https://www.tablefoodhall.com/#BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays #MLB #BlueJaysNation #FlightDeck Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Episode 177 of Tablesetters. The White Sox were baseball's biggest cautionary tale just one year ago. Today, they're tied atop the American League Central, fresh off selecting the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft, and facing a question few expected to ask this quickly: has the rebuild already given way to a legitimate contender? To help answer that, we're joined by Josh Nelson of Sox Machine. As the host of the Sox Machine Podcast, a contributor to 670 The Score, and lead writer for SoxMachine.com, Josh has documented every step of Chicago's transformation, from a 121-loss season to one of the biggest surprises in baseball. In Episode 177, we examine: • The origins of Sox Machine and how it became one of the most respected independent voices covering the White Sox • Why the White Sox believed Roch Cholowsky was the best player in the 2026 MLB Draft, and what his arrival could ultimately mean for Colson Montgomery and the rest of Chicago's infield • The organizational philosophy behind one of the draft's most celebrated classes, including the additions of Landon Thome, Cole Prosek, Joey Volchko, and more • The Jacob Gonzalez trade, why the White Sox were willing to move a recent first-round pick, and how acquiring the 34th overall selection reshaped their draft strategy • Whether Munetaka Murakami has already become one of the franchise's most impactful free-agent signings and why Chicago may have found its next cornerstone • Miguel Vargas' remarkable reinvention from struggling after the 2024 trade to becoming an All-Star, and what deserves the most credit for one of baseball's best breakout stories • Whether Vargas, Murakami, and Colson Montgomery represent the offensive foundation capable of carrying the White Sox for years to come • How Chicago went from 102 losses to the top of the AL Central in just one season, and whether the underlying numbers suggest this turnaround is built to last • Why the White Sox have become nearly unbeatable at Rate Field while continuing to search for consistency away from home • Sean Burke's emergence, his place among the American League's most improved pitchers, and whether the White Sox have finally developed their next frontline starter • The biggest trade deadline decisions facing Chris Getz and whether adding talent now is worth accelerating the organization's timeline • Whether the White Sox have officially crossed the line from rebuilding club to postseason expectation, where anything less than October baseball would feel like a missed opportunity From draft room decisions to clubhouse culture, roster construction to playoff expectations, Josh offers an inside look at one of the most fascinating stories unfolding across Major League Baseball.

Tony Marchese and Bez Beyond the Pen break down another frustrating loss on the road as the White Sox fell to the Yankees 10-5 in the Bronx.The hosts recapped Anthony Kay's rough outing (4 innings, 4 runs allowed), the bullpen collapse highlighted by Sean Newcomb surrendering a massive homer to Paul Goldschmidt before leaving with a tricep injury, and the team's glaring home/road splits. On the bright side, Colson Montgomery had his first career multi-homer game — including a clutch three-run shot off Carlos Rodón — while Sam Antonacci added a late homer of his own.The conversation also touched on the bigger picture: the White Sox still sitting atop (or tied for) the AL Central despite the ugly stretch, the need for starting pitching help at the trade deadline, updates on injured prospects like Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz, and what to expect from Sean Burke in Thursday's series finale against the Yankees.Support the show!

Welcome to the **True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast** — BIG-Z and the boys have a LOT to talk about today!
Episode 171 of Tablesetters is LIVE! We open with the first place Chicago White Sox, who suddenly sit atop the AL Central at 36-31 after starting the season 6-13. We break down whether this surge is actually sustainable, how Chicago has gone 29-17 since April 18, why their top-five offense has changed the entire outlook, and how Munetaka Murakami, Colson Montgomery, Miguel Vargas, Davis Martin, and top prospect Braden Montgomery have turned the White Sox into one of baseball's best stories. From there, we dive into Bryce Eldridge's unbelievable signature moment in San Francisco. Just two days after striking out with a chance to tie the game, the 21-year-old rookie launched an ultimate grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to complete an 11-10 Giants comeback over the Nationals. We discuss the Giants erasing a 9-1 deficit, Eldridge becoming the youngest player in MLB history to hit a walk-off grand slam, Matt Chapman's monster game, and one of the most improbable wins in franchise history. We also discuss Ronald Acuña Jr. landing back on the injured list with another Grade 1 left hamstring strain, what it means for the Braves, and the bigger question of whether he is still a superstar. Acuña's 2023 MVP résumé is undeniable, but with two IL stints this season, multiple major injuries since 2021, and current numbers below his usual standard, the conversation has shifted from talent to availability. Plus, Drew Rasmussen dominates the Red Sox with a career-high 13 strikeouts over seven shutout innings, Max Scherzer reaches 3,500 career strikeouts while his season-long struggles continue, the Athletics and Brewers turn Las Vegas Ballpark into a launching pad, Dalton Rushing's villain reputation grows after another controversial slide, and we make our official Men's College World Series picks with Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Troy all fighting for Omaha.

We break down what he meant as a player on three championship teams alongside Michael Jordan, and celebrate his 20-year broadcasting career — his iconic catchphrases, his legendary calls, and why he belongs in the same conversation as Harry Caray, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Pat Foley & Eddie Olczyk, and Jeff Joniak & Tom Thayer. Then we get into the Cubs, the White Sox, and the Bears news that is shaking the entire city of Chicago to its core.

Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur talk through a week of White Sox baseball that has the crew concerned about the pitching staff. How can they continue to make adjustments to make sure they keep the team in more ballgames than they did this week, especially as the schedule gets tougher? On the other side of the ball, Colson Montgomery has been the subject of some scrutiny because of his recent slump. Are you at all concerned about his production and the value he's bringing to the team? The crew breaks down where Montgomery's value comes from and evaluates the expectations put on him. The crew also discusses the start to Jacob Gonzalez's career and who they'd be comfortable trading at the deadline this season if the White Sox are still in contention at the end of this month.

Chuck Garfien catches up with White Sox outfielder Derek Hill for a conversation that stretches far beyond the box score. Hill reflects on the winding path that brought him from the 2014 MLB Draft to Chicago, including the influence of his father, Orsino Hill, whose own minor league journey and years in scouting helped shape Derek's perspective on perseverance, pressure, and staying ready through countless roster moves and DFA's. Chuck also revisits a powerful 2021 quote from Orsino about life in professional baseball. Later, Hill shares what stands out about the current White Sox clubhouse, from the chemistry between younger players and veterans to the growing buzz surrounding names like Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami. He explains the mentality behind pinch-hitting success after delivering two huge pinch-hit homers already this season; discusses the challenge of quickly moving on after tough losses; and breaks down his clutch defensive play against Bobby Witt Jr. and the Royals. Plus, Derek weighs in on the Cubs-White Sox rivalry, the league-wide chatter surrounding the Sox' surprising run, and whether this stretch of winning baseball has staying power.
