Summary

Carlos Rodon comes on the podcast with Chuck Garfien to talk about his past, present and White Sox future. He discusses his bicep injury which forced him to miss the first 3 months of the season and might end up being a blessing in disguise for his career. He talks about the pitch he threw that caused the Cubs Kris Bryant to be ejected earlier this season, why he wants to be a top tier pitcher like Chris Sale and Clayton Kershaw, if it would have been better for him to play more in the minor leagues before being called up to the majors, why the White Sox rebuild is headed in the right direction and more. Then Dan Hayes from CSN-Chicago joins the podcast to talk about his trip through the White Sox farm system. They discuss the surprise Michael Kopech promotion to Triple-A, joining the Nicky Delmonico Fan Club, how Casey Gillaspie is nothing like his brother Conor, why White Sox fans should look out for Jake Peter who is tearing it up for the Charlotte Knights and more.

You can find out more by going to WinTrust.com slash socks. That's wintrust.com slash socks. All right. We've got two podcasts this week. One was my conversation with Jeff

0:23.1

Passon from Yahoo Sports, who says that the White Sox have the best farm system in all of

baseball, so definitely listen to that one. And as for today's podcast, it's a conversation first

0:35.6

with Carlos Rodan, who's really coming into his own right now.

0:39.8

The last four starts. You think about who he's beaten. Actually, five starts, I think it is now.

0:43.8

Five starts. Boston, the Dodgers, the Astros, the Red Sox. Actually, hasn't beaten them. I shouldn't

0:48.6

say that. But he's pitched very well. It's got a few no decisions in there, but beat the twins on Tuesday, I believe it was.

0:56.8

No, Monday. So we talked about a lot of stuff, not only about what's going on with him and his

1:02.0

success, but really his past and how it all began with him. And could he have benefited maybe

1:09.2

from being in the minors a little bit longer before being called up here so quickly to the majors? Would that have helped him,

as opposed to trying to learn here at the major league level? What was it like for him to be out

1:22.4

for three months sitting on the couch and watching this team perform and sometimes not perform and he could do

1:30.6

nothing about it.

1:32.0

So he gives us a lot of insight about that.

1:35.6

We talk about the rebuild.

1:36.7

We talk about Game of Thrones, believe it or not.

1:40.1

And would he want an electric strike zone as a pitcher?

1:43.6

That and a whole lot more coming up.
