Lopez Makes Mental Leap, Schedule Shaked...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

News! News?! Well, sort of. Jonny G (no relation to Kenny G[?]) and Jimmy Pop chat about Lucas Giolito's comments on his White Sox cohorts who are currently missing from action (i.e. Moncada, Kopech, Cuthbert), plus ANDREW VAUGHN AT 3B ALERT (2:15). James then dives into his story of Reynaldo Lopez, who he, himself, believes has gained command over his previously inconsistent mental approach to baseball (8:45). What about White Sox's schedule jumped out to Jon and James (13:15), and The Field of Dreams game pits Chicago against St. Louis, but is traveling a dream for sports media members during the pandemic (18:25)? Is there any value to going to away games? You can pay the Sox to plant a cutout of yourself, a friend, a family member, whomever, in The Rate's stands. The guys envision which Chicago media members/former players would make for the best cutouts (25:15).
