What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Russell Dorsey, national MLB insider for Yahoo Sports. Oh, he's fine. He doesn't need the attention. Russell will be fine. You're probably right.
We're going to have a conversation about some mediums when he gets in here. I tell you that.
Host of the Relay with Russ Dorsey podcast.
Kikro Armstrong is the hottest player in baseball and has been for the better part of a month and a half. Like since May, he has been a man on a mission.
Insider and analyst for MLB Network and Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV.
They have guys in that lineup that they expected way more out of. Not a little bit, like a lot more. And so until those guys start swinging the bat, we're just going to be looking at each other like, oh, one run, five, six hits, yeah? Russell Dorsey. I'm Russell.
On 104.3, the score. The score.
What you heard earlier was the Russ Dorsey pregame show where we talked about basketball and summer league as opposed to baseball and its status report at the Midsummer Classic. This is the real part of the Russ Dorsey show. You got bonus, Russ. He is the host of the Relay with Russ Dorsey podcast inside of Yahoo Sports. Excellent article out right now about Jacob Mizorowski. MLB Network is where Russ also works and Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV. And Russ, I want to start there because we were talking in our control room, which is what led you to have a pregame show today about a few different things. One of them was the White Sox are not on the local on Friday. They are not on CHSN. They are on Apple TV.
And this is a big, big deal.
They are facing off against the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto on Friday. And, yeah, this will be what I believe is the first national game for the Chicago White Sox this season.
And against a Blue Jays team that currently... Follow me on this. They're currently in last place in the AL East, which just means they're only two games out of a wildcard spot.
Not going great for the American League champs, but I still believe they're really talented. And in an American League, you can have a hot week, as you see from the Boston Red Sox. Hot week, you're back in it. So, yeah. But for the White Sox, I think... It's one of those things where when you start to get your name on the national slates, the various national broadcasts, that means people are taking interest in your team. And people have taken great interest in the Chicago White Sox.
Y'all are just waiting for Mooney to come back. That's why y'all are finally giving them the shine that they have long deserved. They've been in first place for a while now, but Mooney's back now.
I love how Marshall talks like there are 20 games out above 500.
Yes, I do want to. Give me the inside insight.
apple schedules tv all schedules whether it's fox apple whoever netflix yeah those are figured out in like february and then you can't change them until usually that last week of june or july i think this was a changed one this wasn't originally on the schedule correct okay yeah when you say june or july it didn't get changed until june okay got it
That, okay, that's interesting.
So like people say, oh, why isn't it? It was like, it was figured out six months ago.
Because Apple TV just sent a press release out saying, here's our games for Fridays in August. And a Cubs Cardinals game, home Cubs Cardinals game, just so everybody's aware, was one of the ones I think that was notable. So there have been some changes, but I didn't know why.
Right. Like I think there are some teams who were supposed to be good that are on that first half schedule where it's like, woof, this game is not good anymore. And then in the second half, you get to mix and match based off of where teams are. And you're like the White Sox are a first place team now. So let's show the White Sox in Toronto.
Blue Jays Padres, everybody. Let's go.
The best part about this is there's literally just six teams where you're like, all right, we don't want those six teams. Everybody else is good. Let's list them. Like Colorado, Mets, Giants, Angels. Kansas City.
But see, the Mets might not count because of the New York market and the Mets being big names still.
