3SYO #91: White Sox Postmortem with Fritz Nothnagel

Throughout the 2021 season, the White Sox appeared to be living up to the hype: an über-talented fun-loving juggernaut of a roster that was bludgeoning its way through the American League. It felt like they were taking the next step in their development as a genuine World Series contender as the calendar turned to October.
Four games later, they gone.
Friend of the pod Fritz Nothnagel is back to figure out what just happened and tell me how far the Sox really are from competing with a potential dynasty* like the Astros.
*You know what this asterisk is for.
We break down how Lance Lynn & the pitching staff fell apart against Houston's relentless lineup, the emergence of important role players like Leury García, and Tony La Russa's doddering bullpen management. Ultimately, though, Fritz still feels good about this season and where his team is headed in the future--as well he should!
