The name and list of pitches on this list doesn't give me a lot of confidence in whatever this metric is.

Tweet I saw on Hicks’ 4 seamer, which is pretty insane:

Diving a bit deeper into this bullpen from a trade deadline perspective. The Sox currently have three of the top 15 relievers in the American League in terms of both FIP & fWAR. Obviously the problem this year has been what happens when you have to pitch anyone but Taylor, Hudson, & Newcomb. On that front, we have seen two guys step up as of late. Since Jun 1st, Chris Murphy has pitched 11.2 innings for us and has put up a 0.77 ERA & 1.82 FIP with a 9.26 K/9, 1.54 BB/9, & 0 HRs. He’s been one of the better relievers in the game during this stretch and gives us a third LH reliever we can rely on. Then you have Jordan Hicks, who looks like a new man since coming back from his injury. It’s a very SSS, but in 4.1 innings he’s put up a 0.00 ERA & 0.11 FIP with a ridiculous 16.62 K/9, 2.08 BB/9, & 0 HRs. While I’m no pitching expert, one thing stood during this stretch: he’s starting to leverage his 4 seamer more (~4% to ~25%) at the expense of his sinker (~60% to ~32%). This along with a small increase in his sweeper usage has allowed him to generate significantly more whiffs & K’s. If these two guys can continue pitching, not even to this degree obviously, the bullpen is much strengthened. You’d still have the Dominguez situation to deal with, but having five strong relievers ahead of him would allow you to use him exclusively in low & medium leverage situations and hope he can get his control back to what it was between 2022 to 2024 (mid to high 3 BB’s per 9). That would leave two spots to potentially address. I remain confident Wikelman Gonzalez is going to be part of the 2H bullpen mix. He was dealing before he went down with his lat injury and has the type of stuff to be successful in the majors. With a well known roster crunch coming, already being on the 40 man will give Gonzalez an advantage over other AAA arms like Iriarte & Pallette. None of this addresses the closer spot if you want to continue to use Taylor in your highest leverage situations regardless if it’s actually the 9th. An outside addition would obviously be ideal here as it would allow everyone else to slot into a spot where they can excel. However, if prices are too steep and we can’t afford both a quality SP and closer, then I think you have to prioritize the SP. In that event, could the Sox pull a 2005 White Sox and go with a rookie as their closer? Both McDougal & Sandlin seem like guys who have the stuff to do well in that role, but would take them away from building up strength as SPs. Not sure which way I’d go there, but certainty something Getz must consider.

Did we win the Fedde/Kopech trade? This kid is so damn awesome. Gonna be a staple in this lineup for years to come. Congrats Miguel

This was the first game between the Sox and Guardians this season decided by more than 1 run

To think that this is where we started: Congrats!

My only personal knowledge of the people of Cleveland is from when I went to school in Ohio. I never met anyone who actually lived in Cleveland, they all seemed to be from a place called Shaker Heights.

Biggest single game of my lifetime was late in 1959 when Sox went there for a 1 game series with the pennant on the line. Yanks not a factor that year. WGN actually televised the road night game. Sox won a nail biter.

We’re sure this is true? I legit have seen this reported nowhere.

School House Rock tribute for America's birthday actually.

I went there for the opening and have been there once since. Also the NFL HOF is nearby.

I want to thank the White Sox for the win, my brother in law's sanity was on the line.

Joakim Noah line will be tough to beat but I am a willing to listen.

Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame visit???

I'll take one championship over God knows how many playoff appearances since they last won a world series in1948. .....1948! Their idea of success is to LOSE. Every year in the playoffs. The Indians/Guardians can shove it. They don't like us. We don't like them. I only root for them when they play the cubs. Happy Independence Day. See any Redcoats shoot'em on sight.

The return of Mune will be a welcome sight.

This team after losing 2 heartbreakers shows what it’s made of, these guys are tough as nails and there is no quit in them.

Well deserved, congrats to our MVP.

Burke came through big time. Colson & Vargus studs

I don’t believe a word of that.

I remember that game vividly and felt your pain. One thing about us Sox fans… we’re fucking loyal.

Getz tried to extend him last offseason and he turned them down. It has already paid off. I’m sure he plans on going to free agency in three years unless the Sox offer him a sizable extension.

I've never been happier to be wrong about a player. Good for him, he deserves it.

Thankfully, Grant Taylor took Seranthony's spot. That said, what role does Dominguez have moving forward? The guy that comes in when there is a "less stressful situation?" How many of those have the Sox had lately? Dominguez last performance was a joke...bouncing a wild pitch before it hit home plate, walking two batters that ended up scoring and winning the game for CLE. Yea Getz signed him to a 2 year deal, but his patience has to be wearing thin with Dominguez. He has become a liability.
