Colome's Hat

Gotta be honest, Yaz annoyed the shit out of me earlier this year but now he's one of my favorite players on this team.

Yeah. It was a seven run lead.

He looked really good in that field of dreams game. And he got squeezed and was kind of the victim of bad luck in that Rays game. But he was likely going to work his way out of it until Tony messed up. He gave up a home run to Aaron Judge. Judge was on a tear at that moment. I honestly don't put much stock in this outing.

Yeah but I think El Duque did serve a purpose given his track record in the post season. I don't see what purpose Keuchel serves right now.

Is it possible that the dude just gets over amped when he's facing his old team? Because his only awful outings have come against them.

To be honest, if you want to be pissed off at someone be pissed off at Tony. He just wasted Kimbrel with a 7 run lead when he had Ruiz warming. He should have had both of them warming. Kimbrel can't pitch tomorrow. What if it's a close game? Shitty managing if you ask me.

We have this game and you post this? Seriously?

You really thought he was going to blow the game?

Please stop. In fact I really don't want to see any Kimbrel sucks posts after this joyous game. Dude shouldn't have been out there in the first place and the runs he gave up were pretty meaningless. Enjoy this great victory.

agree. I only boo if they earn it with their behavior.

The problem with Keuchel is he's useless if he isn't starting. I wouldn't put him in the bullpen. I honestly think Tony has the guts not to put him on the postseason roster in the first round if he keeps pitching like this.

He's likely motivated given he'll be a free agent. I think the right team would take a flyer on a guy who two years ago was in the top 10 for cy young votes.

To be honst, I think we will see what this team is made of starting tonight. Yeah, the Cubs are a AAA team right now but this is the first time this year that the team is playing as close to as they were intended to be constructed all year.

If he doesn't pitch an immaculate inning, he's bad. To be honest, a lot of times, the outs closers get come on hard hit balls that defense do their thing on. The base hit was actually a good pitch he made to like the best hitter on the planet at the moment. I'll take a do nothing base hit against Guerrero anytime of the week.

Was in Montreal a few years ago. i thought it was ok.

Leury!!!

This is the ponytail matchup lol

I think the reason Crochet was used is Hendriks wasn't available.

Kimbrel for the 9th?

As someone who only watched the comical closing of the roof which was straight out of Waiting for Godot, how did Carlos look? Were the 3 ks just simply a factor of Toronto's hitting approach?

Right now after Kimbrel and Hendriks, Tepara is the best reliever in the Sox bullpen. I would go like this right now in a 3 game Starting Rotation: 1. Lynn (unless against the Astros in Houston) 2. Rodon 3. Giolito (Would flip Lynn and Gio against the Astros if Houston has home field advantage) 4. Cease/Keuchel - Right now, if Cease continues to pitch as well as he has and with how well Tepara has pitched out of the bullpen, I don't think there is any way you can really justify leaving him out of the rotation. But I do think I would give Keuchel a chance in September to right the ship. I do like the idea of Keuchel in a LCS as an opener for three innings and having Cease come in. Bullpen: CL: Hendriks CL/SU: Kimbrel RHP: Tepara RHP: Kopech LHP: Bummer LHP: Crochet LHP: Keuchel? LR: Lopez MU: Ruiz Right now though and was listening to the White Sox Talk Podcast, there is a very good argument about leaving Keuchel off the roster in the LDS but bringing him back on the roster in the LCS. He's much more valuable in a longer series and would probably be better starting in a longer series than in a short series.

Order out of the bullpen should be Tepara, Kimbrel, Hendriks or Tepara, Hendriks, Kimbrel. They are the three best relievers.

He keeps pitching like this, you have to.

Lol. was about to post this haha.

What if he's lights out in September and October?
