Jordan Lazowski, Nik Gaur, and Michael Suareo are your crew for Episode 95, covering the breaking news of the White Sox' decision to part ways with pitching coach Ethan Katz, hitting coach Marcus Thames, catching coach Drew Butera, and first base coach Jason Bourgeois while re-assigning Grady Sizemore. The crew gives their thoughts on the decisions while covering a variety of topics, including: How do you evaluate the jobs Katz and Thames did that led to these decisions? Do you feel confident in Getz and Venable when making these hires? What level of impact are you comfortable with Brian Bannister and Ryan Fuller having on this decision? What are your ideal qualifications for a hitting and/or pitching coach for the organization? Who are some potential names of interest for the roles? This and more on the episode, so make sure to tune in!

Duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and (while he's in Chicago acting in Ashland Avenue at the Goodman Theatre) next room correspondent, Will, do the expected evaluation of the 2025 White Sox season: the good, the bad, and the not-quite-as-ugly as the past two years. They also delve into the firing of four coaches the day after the season ended, most notably the dismissal of pitching coach Ethan Katz, who seemed to have done a very good job with a young and not particularly talented staff, many of whom were castoffs from other teams. What do Chris Getz and Will Venable have in mind? All they let on was the usual p.r. b.s.release, which no reporter with access to the team has bothered to follow up on. And, of course, because the podcast was recorded the morning before the start the playoffs, they make their predictions for the Wild Card round, not all of them totally sensible, but, what the heck, why not go with the gut. Or heart. Or anything but brain. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of The White Sox Podcast, Chuck Garfien talks with pitching coach Ethan Katz about how his pitching staff has been able to outperform others like the Dodgers and Blue Jays. From managing innings for young starters to getting elite results from Rule 5 picks, Katz explains the strategy, communication, and development driving the Sox's surprising success on the mound.

Is Edgar Quero already the White Sox best hitter after less than 2 weeks in the big leagues? The crew discussed Quero's impressive start to his career. Despite a 120-loss pace, the Sox look and feel different than they did in 2024...how much of a role does Will Venable play in that? Plus, Jr. likes what he's seen from Ethan Katz and the work he's done with the young pitching staff so far this season.

On this special Marathon Monday edition, we reflect on the power of tradition, resilience, and baseball in Boston. Tom Caron opens the show with a heartfelt look back at the iconic Patriots' Day game start, the significance of the Boston Marathon, and the city's strength in the aftermath of the 2013 bombing. That year, Jonny Gomes became a symbol of the city's spirit as he joins the show alongside Jim Rice to revisit those emotional days. From David Ortiz's unforgettable speech to Gomes' pivotal leadoff double in the Red Sox's first home game after the tragedy, they dive deep into the bond between Boston and its ball club during a time of healing. Later, Alex Speier talks with White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz about a wave of Massachusetts talent on Chicago's staff, his time coaching Lucas Giolito, and how Garrett Crochet is evolving into a dominant starter. From pitch design to player development and the future of the fastball, it's a masterclass in modern pitching. Presented by your New England Ford Dealers, this is 310 To Left with Tom Caron and Alex Speier.

The school year is over at UC Berkeley and many other colleges, but campus tensions around the war in Gaza continue. An alarming rise in anti-Semitism and fierce debate over the word “Zionist” threaten longstanding campus traditions of free expression. Universities from coast to coast have been torn apart by protest encampments against Israel's retaliatory war on Hamas and the impact it's had in Gaza. From Columbia to Cal to UCLA, university leaders have been under fire, students facing off with police, both on and off campus, administrations forced to reckon with how their money is invested and whether they're supporting a war halfway around the world. At Cal, the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israeli encampment is gone, after a negotiated agreement there, but it was followed by an off-campus occupation that police came in and broke up. For more on all of this, we are joined live today on the KCBS Ring Central Newsline by Ethan Katz, Associate Professor of History and Jewish Studies at UC Berkeley, where he is Faculty Director of the Center for Jewish Studies, as well as Chair of the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Jewish Student Life and Campus Climate, and co-founder of the Antisemitism Education Initiative. 

Bruce Levine and David Haugh opened their show by discussing the White Sox's ugly 2-11 start. After that, White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz joined the show to discuss left-hander Garrett Crochet's strong start to the season, right-hander Michael Kopech's new role as the team's closer and more.

After months of rumors, what had to happen for Chris Getz to finally trade Dylan Cease? Chuck Garfien covers that and more from Arizona. You'll hear from Getz on why Cease was traded to the Padres. Ethan Katz talks about how many pitchers are competing for the starting rotation, saying good-bye to Cease and what he likes about all of the new arms in the White Sox system. Plus, Michael Kopech talks about going to the bullpen and Pedro Grifol speaks about the meeting he had with Kopech telling him about his new role with the team.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, three major teams seem to have shifted their attention away from Shohei Ohtani, and indication that they have perhaps been told they're out of the running. Per Passan, the Mets, Red Sox, and Rangers are seemingly out on Ohtani. Those are three teams that were legitimate threats to land the megastar, which only increases the SF Giants' odds of landing Ohtani. Passan adds that the Dodgers, Cubs, Blue Jays, and Angels are known to still be in the running for Ohtani, and that the San Francisco Giants' status is "unknown." Per reports, Ohtani wants things kept as quiet as possible, so that's not necessarily a bad position for the Giants to be in.The Winter Meetings kick off in Nashville on Sunday. What's on the Giants' agenda on the offseason's biggest stage? Landing a superstar should be priority No. 1. Ohtani certainly would suffice. Yoshinobu Yamamoto reportedly won't meet with finalists until the week after the Winter Meetings, so don't expect his signing to go down in Nashville. The SF Giants would be wise, though, to improve their team to prove to Ohtani that they'd be in a position to win with him. It doesn't help that Korean star Jung Hoo Lee has yet to be posted, as he profiles as a strong fit for the Giants. Cody Bellinger is another who seems to fit well.Finally, Gabe Kapler landed on his feet. We learned today that the Giants' fired manager was hired as Assistant General Manager of the Miami Marlins under new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, who was hired away from his position as General Manager of the Rays just weeks ago. Kapler joins several of his Giants coaches in landing on his feet after not being retained by the Giants. Kai Correa, Craig Albernaz, Andrew Bailey, Brian Bannister, Ethan Katz, and Donnie Ecker are among Kapler's initial staff with the Giants that now have prominent roles with other organizations.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Nick Schaefer joins the show for an early look at the White Sox Season. We discuss his work with Baseball Prospectus and the days of BP Southside. Nick was very early on the list of skeptics of Rick Hahn, we get into that as well as should White Sox fans be hopeful for the continued development of Jake Burger?

It's Opening Day on the South Side as the guys broadcast live from Buffalo Wings & Rings. White Sox VP Brooks Boyer and pitching coach Ethan Katz join the show.

Mailbag Wednesday: The Chicago White Sox will win 90 games and win the AL Central... if healthy. MLB.com made some AL Central predictions recently and they like the White Sox to finish in first place and win 90 games. The prediction, of course, is reliant on a healthy roster. Are the recent injuries to Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez a fluke or is there serious concern? Jimenez should be back in the lineup on Wednesday and Moncada is still day-to-day but maybe, just maybe these recent injuries are just that: injuries. Perhaps there is nothing major to read into and life will go back to normal any day now. Maybe. Lucas Giolito had a solid outing against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday afternoon as he fine tunes a few things before the season starts. Sox beat the Brewers by a score of 6-5 on Tuesday afternoon. Michael Kopech gets high praise from pitching coach Ethan Katz and catcher Seby Zavala. It has not been made official but it seems like a foregone conclusion that Dylan Cease will be the Opening Day starter... and things are lining up for that to happen.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.Ultimate Pro Baseball GMTo download the game just visit probaseballgm.com or look it up on the app stores. Our listeners get a 100% free boost to their franchise when using the promo LOCKEDON (ALL CAPS) in the game store.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Chicago White Sox sign former Cleveland and San Diego starting pitcher Mike Clevinger. The White Sox were looking to add another starting pitcher and it looks like they got their man. It has been reported that the White Sox and Clevinger are in agreement on a one year deal, pending a physical. Clevinger spent parts of five seasons with Cleveland before being traded in August of 2020 to the San Diego Padres. Clevinger did not pitch in 2021 due to his second Tommy John surgery and started the beginning of the 2022 season on the injured list. This past season was a mediocre showing for Clevinger and Sox fans are hoping pitching coach, Ethan Katz, can work his magic on the latest reclamation project. Signing Mike Clevinger to a low risk deal is definitely not the exciting move fans wanted but the finances might allow the Sox to addressed the multitude of other team needs. Brining in Clevinger is a move and hopefully it's not the last move.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Coaching staff decisions have yet to be announced for the 2023 Chicago White Sox. We know that Pedro Grifol's coaching staff will look different aside from pitching coaches, Ethan Katz and Curt Hasler. We also know that former Toronto Blue Jays manager, Charlie Montoyo, will be the new bench coach but what about the rest of the staff? Question marks remain in terms of the first base and third base coaches. There was a report earlier this month claiming that KC Royals hitting coach, Matt Tosar, will be joining the White Sox in a similar role but there have been recent reports mentioning that AAA hitting coach, Chris Johnson, will be making the jump to the big leagues. Also, prepare yourself for the eventual White Sox oriented conversations that you will most likely have with family and friends this holiday season.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Chicago White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz wants another starter as he provided updates on the pitching staff. Katz made it very clear that the White Sox need another starter. His comments were refreshingly direct but will the White Sox actually prioritize a starting pitcher this off-season? Katz also provided updates on Michael Kopech, Garrett Crochet, Reynaldo Lopez and weighed in on Dylan Cease's 2nd place finish in the AL Cy Young awards. Friday is an important date for MLB teams to tender contracts to arbitration eligible players. Could Adam Engel or perhaps Danny Mendick be non-tendered?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
