  • Jason Benetti Breaks Down Sox's Season, Managerial Search & Announcing Approach

    Jason Benetti Breaks Down Sox's Season, Managerial Search & Announcing Approach
    Oct 19 2020
    When we aren't idly chatting about Jimmy John's, Jane the Virgin, college football or any number of quasi-cumbersome, time-stalling topics, we're discussing White Sox baseball, and who better to talk about disappointment than with Jon, James and special guest, White Sox play-by-play announcer, Jason Benetti! The trio talk the obvious first, mai tais and getting plastered as well as Jason's daily grind now post-Sox season. What did Jason think about Renteria's late-season in-game decisions, and aside from the forgettable moments, how did it feel to announce contests where stakes were higher than they have been in past years (3:00)? The group discourse shifts to Chicago's coaching hunt and rumors that Tony La Russa is a prime candidate to fill the team's vacant manager role (10:15). Do the rumors hold water? Who else could assume Chicago's position as head honcho? Why is James green with avarice (13:45)? Without fans present, how did Jason draw the requisite energy needed to call Lucas Giolito's no-hitter, and in general terms, where did that passion come from throughout the year in a season like this one (16:30)? What struggles were present when broadcasting remotely (20:30), and how did Jason manage team expectations and the transition from a rebuilding Sox organization to playoff contenders (26:15)? What was it like calling games with Steve Stone (28:45)? Plus, is there an added sprinkle of excitement in covering games now that Chicago has moved from a team remodeling themselves to being in the same breath as contending teams (33:45)? Oh, and what's a White Sox podcast without college football talk and random ramblings while I'm not being paid by the hour? In all seriousness, thank you to Jason for hopping on today, and to you all for sticking with us through the season. It's been a weird year, but this show has, hopefully, provided a much needed get away for you amid more weighty matters. Jon, James and myself wish you all good health and thank you for your continual support, so please keep liking, rating, commenting, subscribing, reading, listening, sending money to my GoFundMe and everything else you all do so that we can continue making this...podcast is too generous of a word...audio stream of conscious that happens to, occasionally, talk about the White Sox. Season two of WSB is in the books, we'll talk to you all before too long.
