    Missed Opportunity in Anaheim

    This episode is presented by Ankin Law - Injury Law Made Personal. Rundown [Intro] The Chicago White Sox won on Monday in a very convincing fashion and had a chance to take the division lead. But a tough loss on Tuesday and a rough outing on Wednesday feel like a missed opportunity for this young White Sox team. Should fans still take solace in a 3-3 West Coast road trip? Is it a good sign that the team is playing well enough lately that losses are painful again after three consecutive 100-loss seasons?  [16:59] Noah Schultz had a tough outing on Wednesday. In his last two starts, Schultz has walked more batters than he struck out.
