Chapter 1: What recent games did the White Sox win and how did they perform?
0-2. Popped up. Colson Montgomery is calling for it. Ball game on this Memorial Day. The White Sox come back home to Chicago and get a 3-1 win to start this series.
That courtesy of CHSN. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody, and your Chicago White Sox are 27-26 after they took down the Twins 3-1. And don't look now, but he did it again. Mune Murakami with yet another home run. Mark Grody, Sarah Langs, our friend, had this stat to share. Would you like to hear the names that he is now among in their first 53 career Major League Baseball games?
I would love to.
These are some dudes with some incredible seasons that are a part of this list. 2017, Cody Bellinger had 22. Mune's got 18, just so you're aware. 2015-16, Gary Sanchez had 20.
I remember.
I don't think you remember 1930 Wally Berger, but he had 20. 2019 Yordan Alvarez had 19.
He's so scary.
He really is. He's a threat at the plate.
Frightening man.

Chapter 2: Who is Mune Murakami and what records is he approaching?
And so he treats the home crowd to a home run right away. One thing that's weird is,
he doesn't always talk to the the media have you noticed that like he sometimes his availability is scattered yeah are you allowed to do that as a rookie now he did say that yesterday he didn't talk like i guess i give him credit for this because he did homer and he wanted to give riku nishida all he wanted it to be his day his fellow countrymen was getting all the credit and i suppose that was a nice thing but in general come on man you're a rookie you gotta talk you gotta talk
You've got to talk when you've got 18 home runs to your name in 53 games. We want to hear from you. Yeah, among the major league leaders, actually. And I did love when we were watching the games yesterday on the group thread. Not to be outdone. Yeah, Drew Romo coming through as well. You were thrilled to see that home run.
He doesn't stop, man. I always think with these guys, and maybe I was guilty with Michael Conforto as well, that when you get one good thing out of them, you're like, okay, that's it. We're not going to see this continue to be like that. But all of a sudden, Drew Romo has, what, five home runs this year? It's a big two-run blast yesterday. That was the difference in the game.
It made it 3-1, and the Sox won the game 3-1. So we said it before. Winning teams get these weird contributions, and that's exactly what's going on with the White Sox. And Nishida was example number one yesterday.
So entering Monday, the White Sox had scored 48.1% of their runs via the home run. That was good for second in Major League Baseball. See, that's the thing. I hear that if your team has guys who can hit balls out of the park, then that's going to help you win games.
Go on.
Yeah.
I mean, big if true. I'm just not sure. But once again, not only do they get contributions from hitting, keep in mind the final was 3-1, and Anthony Kaye was a big reason for that. He lets the one home run get loose out of Brooks Lee, but other than that is able to stay the course. Six innings for Anthony Kaye, who is now 4-1 on the season.

Chapter 3: How has the White Sox offense been performing this season?
Charges at the ball, makes a laser of a throw to home plate and to get the outfield assist and seven put outs in his debut.
Unbelievable.
he's an 11th round pick of the White Sox in 2023 fast as all hell he's 5'6 150 or something like that all the personality in the world and unique because he actually played college ball at Oregon as born in Japan lived in Japan but then decided to go to American College and was drafted out of there and I think that's unprecedented actually for a Japanese player to have been drafted out of college
Well, and the joke was that this originally started as a hobby for him. It's not like he was set out to be this major league ball player. And I know that's kind of a foreign concept when you consider how kids are treated when they start playing expensive travel ball here. And I'm not saying the kids feel that way. Sometimes it's the parents. You all know.
But at the same time, here he is getting his chance, and he's in this system in this team right now where, hey, you're at home, you're coming up, get out there, play right field, and oh, by the way, make some things happen. And he did make a play. He had a play of consequence, as we like to say, preventing a run from scoring. and then also was able to just do the job well.
You know, we saw some circuitous pass to the ball, even yesterday by the Cubs, for example. PCA had one where I felt like the route was a little strange. Jim Chase even mentioned it on the air.
Hold on.
It was the one where he darted to, like, we're looking at the screen, he darts to the left, so that's his right by the bullpen.
That's because I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday. I was on the phone.

Chapter 4: What contributions did Anthony Kaye make in the recent game?
I'm walking on State Street, and she was telling me about that. I heard it on the radio, so I didn't actually see that play, and she said basically what you said. I don't know that he needed to jump for the ball. There was just one play where he just probably should have been very simple about it.
And it resulted in a double.
I hear you.
Yeah, it was the bottom of the third. I hope you're listening to mom. Layla just confirmed it. I have it in my notes app here, yeah.
Yeah, Layla agrees. Okay, you were right, Gene. You were right. Nice job.
But getting back to Nishida and just what the White Sox are putting together, that's part of what you look for in an outfielder making a debut is what's the path you're taking to a ball on a day where it's going to carry. And we see there, I mean, that was a veteran play out of a rookie player.
with all the personality in the world, like a guy who, you know what he reminded me of yesterday? Honestly, it was early PCA with the Cubs, where he's just bouncing around all over the place. He's making diving attempts. He's flinging the ball home. He's running around the bases, like just bouncing like a Super Bowl out there was Riku Nishida.
Yeah, that's funny because I think it's our next guest who would talk about Pete being a golden retriever. Or he called him Peter in the outfield. That's right. Ian Happ with that joke. And I always laughed at that because, well, he does like to cover ground.
Yeah, he does. He does. He loves jumping. He loves diving. He loves it all. He likes to leave his feet, does Pete Karmersong. And a lot of times it becomes spectacular. Sometimes it doesn't.
