  Sox Populi Pregame Podcast 16 — ALDS G2 — 2026-10-05

  Oct 4, 202628 minS7

  Flying solo and thus talking as much as ever, Brett Ballantini previews Game 2 of the White Sox-Guardians ALDS. Given the relative dominance over Cleveland of opener/starter Anthony Kay and bulk arm Sean Burke and Chicago having solved Gavin Williams to a large degree, the pitching matchup looks much more favorable for the South Siders than Game 1. Similarly, the White Sox back more feistiness into the lineup vs. righthanders, so subbing in Sam Antonacci and Tristan Peters for Randal Grichuk and Brenton Doyle changes the complexion of Game 2. After winding up with some observations about getting the AL/White Sox gettng an early-in-series vs. late extra day off, poof, the podcast is over. Was it just a dream?

  Brett Ballantini sits down with Melissa Sage-Bollenbach to break down a Game 1 marked by dual bullpen games by the Chicago White Sox and Houston Astros.

In the second half, the duo tackles the strengths and weaknesses both teams have in the series, and end with a gut-check take on how Game 1 will play out. Learn more about your ad choices.
