Sox Vox 3: Scott Reichard on Kopech, the rotation, a pandemic ... and 2020 baseball!
Scott Reichard makes his long-awaited visit back to the South Side Hit Pen, now with its new name and, apparently, in a new venue — Scott's happening basement Sox bar! Watch party!
After a little bit of how-ya-do discussion of Michael Kopech and the possible innovative options that Chicago's possible surplus of starters might provide, these two buttercups provided a rousing segment on coronaball — all the reasons why playing baseball this season is scary as hell.
Not to fear, however, actual baseball talk made a comeback by podcast's end, as we moved on to the players we're most excited to see in 2020 — even in this truncated 2020.
While the video clip above was shot just prior to the podcast, you'll find a video of the entire podcast at the bottom of this page.
Of course, we're on Apple Podcasts as well.

Actor (final credit: murdered by Albert Einstein in "Carnage Hall"), musician (Ethnocentric Republicans), and Nerf hoops champion, Wiffleball aficionado and onetime bilingual kindergarten teacher, Brett Ballantini also writes about baseball, basketball and sometimes hockey, for the NBA, MLB, NHL, and Slam, Hoop, Sporting News, the Athletic, SB Nation and others. He was CSN Chicago’s Blackhawks beat writer when their 49-year Stanley Cup drought ended in 2009-10, and took over the White Sox beat after that. He currently is the editor-in-chief of South Side Hit Pen and beat writer for Inside the Rays. He also wrote a book about Ozzie Guillén but is running out of space, so follow him on Twitter @BrettBallantini and he'll probably tell you even more about himself than you ever wanted to know.
