Hello.

**Sean Anderson** (0:22)
You can follow him at Echadrewall23, you can follow the show at CHGO underscore White Sox. Herb, are you so excited for sushi push-ups?

**Herb Lawrence** (0:30)
Oh, my goodness gracious, I'm sorry. Like, I know the White Sox do food very well, but I don't want my sushi to be cooked by anybody than a sushi chef.

**Sean Anderson** (0:43)
Is sushi cooked?

**Herb Lawrence** (0:44)
I mean, rolled or prepared. That's a good catch. So, it's a no for me, but it looks good and all the rest of the food offerings that they have rolled out for this week have looked really nice.

**Sean Anderson** (0:57)
I forget the name, it's Lucky's, right?

**Herb Lawrence** (0:59)
Yes.

**Sean Anderson** (1:00)
So, I'm always tempted, but it never speaks to me to spend my money on that. Because it is a little bit more premium, it pushes a little towards 20 bucks. And if you're getting the pop, it's like 40 bucks. It's like, you know, I'll just get a hot dog and just even swear that I spent $11 on a damn hot dog. You know, I'm with you. You know, even sushi at a grocery store, I'm like, yeah, you know, if I'm getting sushi, I'll go where it's right.

**Herb Lawrence** (1:25)
It's like getting Taco Bell lettuce.

**Sean Anderson** (1:27)
I don't know if it's that bad.

**Herb Lawrence** (1:28)
Hopefully, you're rolling dice. Snake eyes.

**Sean Anderson** (1:32)
Sevens. I got sevens.

**Herb Lawrence** (1:33)
All right.

**Sean Anderson** (1:34)
Herb and I are going to talk about possible trade buying candidates today. I know we did that already. Did you see the comment on Monday's show where the guy was like, actually, the 40-man roster is at 48, but all of these guys are on the injured list. It's like, buddy, the actual active is 38
So we'll try to be realistic for you folks. We'll mention that Kevin Gausman does have the White Sox in his no trade list. Hit that thumbs up button if you haven't already. Make sure you're subscribed to the CHGO Sports YouTube channel. We will be talking about the White Sox win. We'll be talking about their current one-and-a-half game lead over Cleveland. We'll also be talking about how big, quote-unquote, big, of a move do the White Sox need to make at the trade deadline. We will also talk about trading for a catcher. Ken Rosenthal says the White Sox are actively looking for one, and we'll wrap it up with a season preview or series preview of the upcoming series with the Astros coming to town. Hit that thumbs up button again. Jasper in the chat saying, There are three things I'm certain of in this life. Death, taxes, and Anthony K hitting a batter.
I'll take it. I'm always sure that Eric Fetty is going to give up some home run. You know, walk a guy and then give up a homer. So at least with Anthony K., you know, he's giving the other guy a bruise.

**Herb Lawrence** (2:43)
Yeah, and yeah, the guy has been uber impressive this year. He's not what, of course, you get a guy from Korea, you get a guy from Japan, you're like, what does he have? You know, because when he was here as the first time as a major league, you're like, terrible. But he's not what Eric Fetty was the first time around with the White Sox. He's not that far off either. Like what the White Sox have done with that particular market, it's got to be applauded because they're getting actual major league pitching from overseas, but Americans who have rectified their careers overseas.

**Sean Anderson** (3:20)
Well, and the one thing too is, you know, there is a difference between the KBO and the MPB.

**Herb Lawrence** (3:25)
Yeah.

**Sean Anderson** (3:25)
And Anthony Kay was doing that in the MPB and he was doing, you know, sub to ERA. So I think we got to give credit to him that not only is was he pitching in a better league, quote unquote, but also lefty and Eric Fetty was throwing 92 on a sweeper, right?
Anthony Kay's been ratcheting up to 97 from the left hand side, which has been, you know, been pretty decent.

**Herb Lawrence** (3:44)
And that rookie hitting that home run off of him, that like, Kali. Yeah, like it's like, I'm just putting my bat out there high and it's going to just travel.
