## Resource

Chuck Garfien sits down with White Sox hitting coach Derek Shomon to revisit his bold spring training prediction of a top-10 offense, discuss whether this lineup has become the "pain in the ass" offense he envisioned, and break down the 22-run outburst against the Royals and the dramatic 9th inning back-to-back homers against the Guardians. Shoman also shares insight on Tristan Peters' season, Colson Montgomery's ceiling, Randal Grichuk's impact, and the story behind the White Sox's popular "Strokin'" shirt.
