Rahimi & Grote Show · Josh Nelson interview & sharing our Cubs-White Sox predictions (Hour 4) · 17 Aug 2026 podcast

Yeah, this is going to be interesting.

And I think this is a good postseason test for the Chicago White Sox because you're one of two types of teams when you do reach the postseason.

You're either a team that you are confident in your starting pitching and you really lean on them.

We saw this with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year, that they knew that their strength was with the starting pitching, so they really leaned on them.

There are times, though, as a team that you can be successful, understanding that we just

Don't have the starting pitching depth, so we really need to lean on the bullpen.

This is going to be a test for the White Sox bullpen, especially Sean Newcomb and Grant Taylor, who this past weekend pitched multiple innings to help close out wins for the White Sox.

What can Jordan Hicks provide to the White Sox?

Hagan Smith will be tested in this series.

He's yet to allow a hit or a run in his four and two-thirds innings starting his career.

It is seven strikeouts.

But this bullpen is going to be tested, and I think this is where the White Sox as a franchise can learn just how playoff tested they are, especially when it comes to the bullpen.

So I cover college baseball and M will be draft for Sox Machine.

So I've been watching a lot of Hagen Smith since his junior year at Arkansas, and where he really popped up on the radar when he absolutely dominated Travis Bizzano in February between Arkansas and Oregon State in that college classic, where I think Hagen Smith struck out about seventeen.

And the reason why Hagen is difficult as far as his command, because it's this three quarter almost sidearm delivery.

And he's only throwing 93 and 94.

But Mark, batters are just not seeing this ball coming out of his hand.

And the moment that Hagen Smith can figure out his fastball command and be more consistent in getting ahead of batters, that's where the White Sox may have another Garrett Crochet where you're gonna take him, he's gonna start in the bull band, you're gonna move him to starting pitch, and he's gonna shock the baseball world and what he can do.

But

If he cannot find that command, he's gonna be a reliever, but he's been devastating right now for the White Sox, uh other than getting himself into trouble with the walks, but opposing teams just can't square him up right now.
