Fresh off a series victory over the Cubs at home, Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur are joined by BeefLoaf of the From the 108 Podcast!
BeefLoaf talks about the vibes at the ballpark and in Section 108 at this point in the season, and explains why he thinks this team is so different. Which unexpected contributors have made the biggest impact early this year, and how has Chris Getz shown he's different from the last regime?
The crew also gets BeefLoaf's thoughts on Davis Martin's outlook and whether or not the team should explore a trade, what long-term extensions might look like for Miguel Vargas and the rest of "the core," and what this lineup should look like the next time the North Side meets the South Side in August!

At the quarter-mark of the 2026 season, the White Sox find themselves 19-21, just one game out of the division and currently holding an AL Wild Card spot!
To say this team is beating expectations is an understatement, but Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Brett Haffner talk about how the White Sox find themselves at this point. They grade the team's offense and pitching through 40 games, talk about the team's biggest surprises and improvements, and evaluate the job Will Venable is doing in the dugout. Could this team featured multiple All-Stars by the middle of the season?
Later, they talk about the looming return of Kyle Teel and his impact on the lineup. Where should he hit once he completes his rehab assignment in Charlotte?
This and much more on this week's packed episode!

After a 1-5 start to the season, the White Sox find themselves 16-18 and just a few games out of the lead in both the AL Central. We know how bad the AL Central tends to be.... so could the White Sox be a real threat for the division after sweeping the Angels and taking a series from the Padres?
Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur discuss this question and what they would need to see to feel that the White Sox really could take advantage of a weak division. Plus, they also discuss Sean Burke's emergence, Drew Romo's potential breakout, and whether Tristian Peters will continue to eat into Luisangel Acuna's playing time.
This and much more on another packed episode!

Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur are joined by the newest Sox On 35th contributor, Carson Kass, for this episode! With the White Sox 8-14 compared to 5-17 at this point last year, what is your early-season assessment of this team? Are they playing to your expectations?
The crew also talks about Noah Schultz and Sam Antonacci's debuts, what they need to see from Will Venable as a manager moving forward, Davis Martin's improvements, and how much longer the team might be willing to keep Luisangel Acuna in the lineup every day.

After a rough 1-5 start, the White Sox are an even 5-5 over their last 10 games with some more excitement along the way. Noah Schultz will be making his MLB debut on Tuesday, and Jordan Lazowski, Nik Gaur, and Brett Haffner are here to talk about it and much more!
They start by talking about the confirmed call-up of Schultz and rumored call-up of Sam Antonacci. What does "success" look like for Schultz this year? And how can Antonacci bring a missing element to a struggling White Sox offense?
At the same time, Schultz's promotion comes to fill in Shane Smith's spot in the rotation after he was sent to Triple-A after just three starts. Was this too quick of a change by the team for someone who was their Opening Day starter? How quickly could we see Smith return? And what does this all say about some of the changes made to the pitching department in previous years?
Finally, the crew talks about the offense - Will Venable and the White Sox don't seem to be concerned, but should they be?
Make sure to tune in to a packed episode!

Among the possible starts the White Sox could have out of the gate in the 2026 season, a 1-5 start is close to as rock bottom as it could get. Duke Coughlin, Nik Gaur, and Brett Haffner try to make sense of what we've seen so far before Friday's home opener while explaining why it's far too early to hit the panic button or get flashbacks to 2024.
In this episode, they breakdown the start particularly by Shane Smith and the bullpen, while also exploring some of the team's defensive woes and starting lineup decisions. There is still a long way to go in the season, but the crew discusses what they need to see change and what will change based simply on, as Brett puts it, the "law of averages."
Get yourself set before Friday's home opener with this episode!

In this emergency podcast, Duke Coughlin and Nik Gaur react to the White Sox trading Luis Robert to the New York Mets, closing the book on the last major piece of the previous front office era. The guys discuss why the return feels underwhelming to many fans and whether Chris Getz realistically could’ve done better - or if he should have just kept him instead.
The conversation then shifts to incoming prospects Luisangel Acuña and Truman Pauley. The two focus largely on Acuña, due to his expected prominent role with the 2026 club. Despite his defensive versatility, speed, and winter-league performance, Duke and Nik have differing opinions on just how good of a prospect Acuña is and just how much long-term value he will provide to the team. Where do you fall in this debate?
