    Stephanie joined the podcast to chat with Chrystal about the Rockies and help preview the upcoming series. As a fan of both teams, Stephanie has the rare insight on cheering for historically bad teams, with only one World Series championship in her lifetime between the two. Here is what Stephanie and Chrystal talked about: What's new with the Rockies Reaching win No. 10 in June Bud Black's firing Is there déjà vu or a true difference between the 2024 White Sox and 2025 Rockies?

    Duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, took the cowards’ way out this week and recorded Sharing Sox before said Sox began a series at Dodger Stadium. Their prediction for that series may not be pretty, but the White Sox face no real pressure to win, as compared to when they next travel to Colorado and need to do well in order to avoid embarrassment. As for individuals, the chat naturally spent a lot of time on Luis Robert Jr. and the possibility there’s no possibility of getting more than a basket of used baseballs for him by the trade deadline, despite at least one professional analyst saying he does have value, honest. That just as naturally led to discussion of other trade chips, such as they are, with pessimism anything could be had for Andrew Benintendi without eating bazillions of salary dollars. But there's optimism that some lesser lights who have played like brighter lights, such as Mike Tauchman and Adrian Houser, might do very well on the market, along with relievers Mike Vasil and Steven Wilson. That in turn led to a look at Baseball-Reference’s team Wins Above Average by position chart, in which Sox starting pitchers and catchers fare well (Top 10), the much-maligned-before-the-season bullpen comes in about average (16th) and every other position rates 25th or worse. Once again, thank you, Colorado Rockies. Oh, yeah — we expressed admiration for Chase Meidroth, had our usual disagreement about the value of Miguel Vargas, continued to wonder how to evaluate the mysterious pluses and minuses of Lenyn Sosa.
