Ep. 292: A side of Ivan Nova that you haven’t heard

Ivan Nova has been much more to the White Sox than a pitcher taking the ball every fifth day. Nova speaks with Chuck Garfien about what C.C. Sabathia taught him about pitching and how he’s passing it along to pitchers like Reynaldo Lopez and Lucas Giolito (07:40). How he grew up sleeping on one bed with his 4 brothers in the Dominican Republic (10:45). Why Juan Uribe played a big role in him wanting to play for the White Sox (20:00). Why it was difficult to lead when he was struggling earlier this season (21:35). The time he got mad this year at Reynaldo Lopez (25:00). Why it was important to learn English (28:35). Why he wants to stay with the White Sox past this season (32:14). Why he believes the White Sox will be a playoff contender soon (32:50) and more.
