00:00It's because the Sox are rolling. They're coming into Wrigley hot. They're coming into Wrigley confident.
00:06They had a great weekend. They had a great weekend and you know it was a team victory.
00:12They didn't pitch particularly well. They lifted each other up all over the field.
00:19It was a real, it was a wonderful kind of team victory, team sweep for the White Sox throughout the
00:26entire weekend.
00:27You knew that they were having a good weekend when Will Venable pinch hit Andrew Benatendi, lefty against a lefty,
00:35and he came through with a run scoring single.
00:39And you thought, wow, Will Venable knows his guys. He's pushing the right buttons and doing the right things.
00:47Benny, Benny, that's my guy.
00:49Benny, that was your guy.
00:50When he's up with runners in scoring position, he is very successful.
00:56He's one of the better players around in that situation.
01:01His average and his OPS and all those things when he has runners in scoring position, you're exactly right.
01:06He has quietly had a clutch season.
01:09And he's provided the kind of veteran leadership, quiet leadership, that I think blends in well with these guys who
01:15are all the young, fun White Sox that are a little bit more outgoing.
01:23The energy, the energy, the vibe was back over the weekend, and I honestly believe it started with that bullpen
01:30game.
01:30Winning that bullpen game was huge for the White Sox on Friday, and that just sort of, that just gave
01:38them the kind of lift they needed.
01:40Anthony Kaye was fine.
01:42He wasn't unbeatable, but he was good.
01:45And you went against Melton, who had been their best pitcher all year, and he won that game.
01:51And then Sean Burke yesterday, probably his worst outing in a while, in a good month or a month and
02:00a half maybe.
02:01But they were good enough to overcome it and come back from it and get themselves a score.
