Almost every memorable loss, has involved 7th/8th inning bullpen implosions, and a complete lack of hitting with RISP. This game delivers in both.

What does the Cubs being bad, have to do with what he accomplished before the trade? Pretty sure no other reliever in baseball had those numbers.

Hey, at least even THEN, everyone knew he had no business behind the plate. Well everyone not in the front office.

0-2 count on Zack Collins.........stop me if you've heard this one before.

Now sure, regardless of what you think about the trade, doesn't matter now....but Kimbrel has definitely not been as advertised, in the Sox uniform, what ever that reason may be.

Definitely, timing plays a huge part. But I would think the FO saw enough, to know that banking on Madrigal long term, may not be a great choice.

Yeah...I'm sure they were sweating a bad baserunning, oft injured second baseman, and a reliever. What a big haul...

Well, guy who is 100% a closer, in the 8th inning + White Sox 8th inning = debacle.

I don't think its the wrong thought at all. This seems more the norm, than the exception from him. And...that may be that. That happens when you are 0-8 with RISP as a team, and 8 LOB.

Such a frustrating hitter right now.

Man, I'd love for Yoan to finally get a big hit with RISP here. But....

Woosh.

AV needed to do that. Dangit.

Walk or WP is probably our best bet, ya'll are right.

If you could ever hit, Collins, now is the time.

OK, gotta hit AV for Lamb right?

Ah crap, tag is on. But still, moving the runners over is all I hoped for there.

Hey I'll take that. And he looked SAFE.

This is an outcome, all of us can predict.

This is not the matchup we want, for sure.

Good start here.

How big was it, for Seby to have the game he had, as well? It is all speculation, of course, but I think no chance in hell Collins is up there, looking to walk, in that situation, down a run.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Gracious....not a single thing there, was on managing. C'mon folks. That was a closer shitting the bed, and throwing terrible pitches.

No scoring after the 4th inning, either.
