Oh man, AV has to get it done, I forgot who was next.

AV up, as the winning run...

And terrible bench means we can't even PH anymore.

3.52 vs 3.42, he is going to catch him!

If you're going to have 2 supposed 'elite' guys as closers, on the team, you have to be dedicated to go with the 'hot' hand, so to speak... This, is not a 'hot hand'.

While I agree, one thing Kimbrel hasn't done, is given up 11 (ELEVEN) Home Runs in 50 innings.

Yeah, Liam deserves to be closer over Kimbrel.

Cannot get Aaron Judge out. Period.

Slider here, please.

Liam vs Judge, yuck.

One positive: We can't put Crochet in here, in extras, to pitch!

Now, Eloy to win it...

GOT IT!

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.
