one. Who impressed you more in the White Sox three nothing win over the Cubs? Jose Urkiti or Brady Montgomery?

Vinny Rotino 0:19

Brady Montgomery is really impressive. I feel like I forget that it is his rookie campaign. He does things every day that makes me just uh impressed with how he plays baseball. You know, like he he has veteran moves, whether it's a challenge call, whether it's whether it's just uh like gutting somebody down like he did yesterday at third base with that fastball that we've talked about so much at 95 miles an hour.

Who impressed you more in the White Sox 3‑0 win over the Cubs—Jose Urquidy or Braden Montgomery?

Vinny Rotino 0:43

The guy just Has a real combination of baseball IQ and ability that you cannot deny. But I'm sorry. It goes to Jose, got his groove back, Urkiti. That was just a really impressive performance all the way around. And he talked about it, you know, still coming back from that surgery he had in 2024, Tommy John, which he'd had previously in 2017. And it made me wonder how long does it take for somebody to truly get healthy after Tommy John number two? And he just mowed batters down yesterday. There there was No other way to put it. Six innings, eight strikeouts, a mere two hits. He had 68 pitches. It was just an incredible performance. And one where I think the White Sox come away saying, Thank God we got that guy.

Vinny Rotino 1:32

Thank goodness we traded for that guy. And Marshall, you said it. I don't know how he didn't make his case for a spot in the rotation after that. I mean, that was absolutely great. Great. So he he saved an option potentially from happening, calling somebody up. He helped get the socks right on the pitching staff side. I Jose Archini, man, just an incredible performance.

Marshall Harris 1:55

So Jose Architi was absolutely fabulous. Anybody who can go up against the second high-scoring offensive baseball and throw six innings in which you face just one over the minimum, that is to be more than noted. It's to be celebrated. You're absolutely right, Layla. They need to give him another chance. I think he's earned another bulk spot, if not an actual start, the next trip through the rotation, as they have played. Nine of sixteen straight days with games and they are five and four in large part because of him. At the same time, I will say I was more impressed with Braden Montgomery because in a one-nothing game, he made sure that there was separation. One, he made sure that there was not the chance for a tie game, because in the sixth inning, when you see Tyrone Taylor get the double, one of just two hits, both Tyrone Taylor hits, off Cubs pitching in the game.

Marshall Harris 2:51

And to erase him from the base pass, now part of that is on Taylor because he definitely leaned the wrong way on a line out from PCA to right field. But for him to have that type of accuracy in that big of a moment, it could have easily been a one-one game with the heart of the Cubs order coming behind him. Instead, it was two out, nobody on, which is ideal for a guy like Erkeidi. He had his back as well as Sam Antonacci. But then for Braid Montgomery. to get two hits matched the Cubs total on the day, including a two run double.

Vinny Rotino 3:20

Taylor's total actually.

Marshall Harris 3:22

Yeah. Two hits. And yeah, Taylor's total, Cubs total, however you want to put it.

What made Jose Urquidy’s performance stand out after his Tommy John surgery?

Marshall Harris 3:28

I just think that Montgomery needs to be noted and While Architi may be a flash in the pan, hoping he's not by the way.

Vinny Rotino 3:35

If he is, he's a hot flash. I think

Marshall Harris 3:36

Braden Montgomery from his debut, you remember his debut, right? Walk-off home run to win the game, to this point has been so instrumental in the White Sox being able to have the lead that they have in the AL Central and to appear to be headed towards the playoffs and perhaps even a division title. I I gotta give it to Montgomery on this one. I I just I like what he means for the White Sox going forward, not just in this series. but in the season and for many years beyond. Number two.

Mark Grody 4:07

How badly is the Cubs infield defense missing? Shortstop Dansby Swanson.

Vinny Rotino 4:12

Yeah, this is in respect to what we saw yesterday. Ray and I just observing how many fielders' choices there were, force outs instead of double plays.
