A bit of a crushing loss in extras for the White Sox, after a Lucas Giolito-Shane Bieber classic.

Brett Ballantini and North Side Sox Podcast co-host Sam Sherman debuted a postgame show that drilled down a bit into the White Sox loss, and took a short look around the league as well.

Highlights:

  • Yes, that Roberto Perez GWRBI in the 10th had an expected batting average of .040.
