9/16 11AM: Jesse Rogers on Sox Lineup Chaos

Carmen and Jurko talk White Sox with Jesse Rogers, who joins from Cleveland before a huge series finale against the Guardians. Jesse explains how Tommy Pham ended up batting cleanup, why Munetaka Murakami is out of the lineup and how Will Venable is piecing things together with a flawed roster in a playoff race. The guys also revisit Grant Taylor’s ninth-inning pitch sequence, Sam Antonacci’s route in left field and why player execution mattered more than the opener strategy in the 7-6 walk-off loss. Jesse weighs in on the Cubs bullpen, the Brewers clinching another NL Central title and what Milwaukee continues to do better than Chicago’s baseball teams. After the show moves to YouTube, Carmen and Jurko debate Patrick Mahomes’ ACL recovery & Jurko’s own injury history.
