Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Rahimi Harrison-Groney. Really, really love listening to you guys. You do a phenomenal job. Middays 10-2 on 104.3 The Score. 1-2 pitch from Taylor. Yeah, buddy!
White Sox come from behind in the ninth and take game two of this series 2-1 over the Mariners.
I hadn't heard that phrase in a minute. That is John Triffin on the call CHSN. Gordon Beckham a part of it as well in Seattle. And if you stayed up, you had to stay up late last night to watch a very tight White Sox and Mariners game. Sox win 2-1 the final because they scored the all-important two runs in the ninth inning. And held the Mariners to just a single hit.
It was one of those very tight games. There was manufactured offense.
Chapter 2: What was the outcome of the White Sox vs. Mariners game?
Anthony Kaye and the entire Sox bullpen get it done. Grant Taylor comes on with an incredible save. He looked at nails. And now they're able to split the series and rubber matches today.
Yeah, buddy!
Just one of those where you were rewarded late if you wanted to stay up and watch the White Sox try to get the job done. The double steal, there were a lot of smart decisions that were going on in the game for the Sox yesterday.
Yeah, I know ultimately it may not look this way, but I want to say Will Venable did well.
such a great job in managing that game especially late the antithesis of manners mariners manager dan wilson dan wilson in the ninth inning let me just set this up for you guys so he's got luis castillo who's been demoted from starter to bullpen and now he's piggybacking in this era and i guess he was trying to like get through the rest of the game with luis castillo who's not out here closing games on the regular right never so he goes for a mound visit after a walk
and a hit by pitch to start the ninth inning, and Colson Montgomery up. And he tries to go back out there. Can't do that. To put another pitcher in the game to bring in his closer, and they're like, no, you know, that's baseball 101. You can't do that.
Yeah, I'm just like, no, no, sir. No, sir.
Yeah, and there was confusion in the booth because they're like, well, there's a three batter minimum, sir. Like, you have to acknowledge.
He was trying to pull him. He got him out, though, right, Marshall? He did get him out. You know what happened immediately thereafter? Chase Mydraw says, hey, I'm not going to hit the ball too hard, but I will hit it to the right spot. Yes. And it sneaks into right field. And the beauty of the double steal, Layla, because you pinch hit. I was worried.

Chapter 3: How did the White Sox manage to come from behind in the ninth inning?
Grant Taylor made easy work of the Mariners. This is why, again, another revelation for the White Sox. You don't usually win the game where your first base runner is in the fourth inning. You don't usually win the game where your first hit is in the fifth inning. You usually don't win the game if you're the White Sox if Josh Naylor is playing in the game.
Aw, Josh. Crap, you're right about that. Which is why... Almost 7 RBI in a game, Josh Naylor.
Actually, it was funny, Layla, because during the game they posted the graphic of Josh Naylor. As I said to you guys backstage, Josh Naylor is to the White Sox as Eugenio Suarez is to the Cubs. Josh Naylor is historic against the White Sox because they flashed the graphic last night on CSN. The highest career batting averages against the White Sox all time with at least 200 at-bats.
Number one, one George Sisler. At 379. Josh Naylor, number two overall at 369. And then you have Dale Alexander, 359. And old Ty Cobb gets in there as well. He is a 355 career hitter.
To be fair, I think he's in the top five of a lot of teams.

Chapter 4: What strategic decisions influenced the White Sox's victory?
He might just be. Potentially. I've been hearing things about Ty Cobb and his ability to hit singles and things like that. But 355 against the White Sox overall. So, of course, when he came up in the first inning last night and they were doing damage, or at least they were trying to do damage against Anthony Kaye, I was like, Here we go. He walked in that scenario.
But, Marshall, you brought it up that the Benintendi ball was hit off the glove of Naylor. Not to mention the Mydroth play was at him as well. So I was like, oh, this is beautiful. The White Sox fans and the White Sox in general enjoyed a game where Naylor didn't hurt you. As a matter of fact, he was victimized in that ninth inning. So I was so happy for the White Sox.
I don't know when I became this way, this curmudgeon-y old woman about everything sports-wise, but some of you would say I started that way. But I'm obsessed with, for example, just how Seattle won the Super Bowl this past year, the defense and what we saw. It breaks my brain, and I think about a lot of the plays in that game more than I should in the strategy.
And I am obsessed with a 2-1 ballgame.
for that reason okay how are you getting yourselves out of this jam and your pitching had better hold up and and you'd better ask for some stuff from guys who you may not expect you know to whom much is given and and that was the case here so anthony k gets you through a five and a third he's stringing together some more consistent appearances than what we had seen and then you know davis hudson and then up comes grant taylor and i was like oh hello
Okay. And on the offensive side, you get the double steal, and you're aggressive when it comes to your sends, and then you're trying to play the strategy here, knowing who's up in the lineup. And then Grant Taylor comes on, and even the pitch mix that he was rolling with, it wasn't just the gas. There was curveball as well that was working for him. I like the idea of being...
smart enough to where all your decisions, even your experimentations of like calling for Taylor in that, at that time, it's like, okay, big boy, you saw what we just did for you. Go up there and mow them down. And it worked.
I think Anthony Kaye finding a way, and when I say finding a way, because I thought, oh, we are so cooked.
That first inning, man.

Chapter 5: How did the Mariners' manager impact the game in the ninth inning?
First time he'd ever gone five innings in three straight starts in his major league career. And so when he pitches 35 pitches in the first, and then 23 pitches in the second, I was like, this dude is not long for this game. But in the third, he throws 15 pitches to get out of the inning. In the fourth, it's five pitches to get through the inning. A five-pitch fourth inning.
That is wild.
In the fifth, an eight-pitch fifth inning. So understanding where he was to get through those last two innings, to give them a chance. And remember, as a team, the Sox allowed one hit all night long. They only got four hits, but they only allowed one hit. And they're just in that mode right now where they believe, and because they believe it's possible, you watch and you believe it's possible.
Well, and you guys are right about the lack of hitting on the socks part. Like, I heard the Gordon Beckham purposeful jinx of the no-hitter.
That was hilarious. It's like, this is a no-hitter, by the way. He's like, watch this, John. Here's what I'm going to do. He's got a no-hitter going. I repeat, a no-hitter is happening.
Also, this just in within the hour from just baseball. BetMGM now saying the Chicago White Sox are plus 475 to win the AL Central after opening the year at plus 10,000.
What? I wish I had gotten in on the plus 10,000 as we all do.
The White Sox were plus 1 million to win the AL Central. 10,000 to 475.
The White Sox currently... That's real improvement, Jerry.
