With the White Sox tumbling from first place (OK, they were 2-4, and they were tied for last place at the same time) to last, it was time for Brett Ballantini to assemble Chrystal O’Keefe, Joe Resis and Hannah Filippo to discuss the state of the team.

The crux of this podcast was how similar or different this 2025 team feels from 2024:

• Backing that things are different are the run differential of only -3, as well as the team having won four games “already.” The pitching staff is holding up OK, and the club already has more blowout wins in 2025 than a year ago
• Now on the other hand, 4-11 means the White Sox are still on track for 119 losses, and they currently sit in last not just in the division but the American League. Overall, the club still can’t hit worth a damn
• The verdict? Three of us are skewing toward 2025 being more of the same as 2024, while sunshine Chrystal thinks the vibes of the club are too good not to make for a measurable improvement. We have 147 games to still to find out
