Sox On Tap - Fried Twinkies

About this episode

Tony and NWI Steve recap the White Sox's recent series against the Minnesota Twins, discussing player performances and team dynamics.

Tony and NWI Steve recap the White Sox’s strong 3-1 series win over the Minnesota Twins, including a dominant 15-2 blowout and a frustrating extra-innings loss. The guys break down Munetaka Murakami’s continued power surge, Chase Meidroth’s grand slam, and David Sandlin’s impressive MLB debut after being recalled from Triple-A. They also discuss Rikuu Nishida’s early impact since his call-up, Sam Antonacci’s base-running adventures, and whether the current batting order is getting the most out of the lineup. The conversation touches on the growing energy at Rate Field, the “tarps off” section, and what Murakami’s hot start could mean for the franchise long-term. It’s a fun, honest, and at times fiery episode as the Sox continue to show signs of life in 2026.
