Sox playoff bullpen is just disgusting

Featured Replies

Think of this...

Playoffs.  Starter goes 3 innings

Sox go

Crochet 4th

Tepera 5h

Bummer 6th

Kopech 7th

Kimbrel 8th

Hendriks 9th

That is insane.

Keep going...

You can start Dallas Keuchel for shits and giggles with that bullpen.

Still hoping this signals Kopech transitioning to a long role/possible playoff starter and ramp up his innings beyond his current workload, both for this year and beyond.

Crochet, Tepera and Bummer are not utterly "reliable" yet as to me wanting them to pitch in such a scenario. The Royals announcers were gushing about how the Sox rotation is the best in the AL. Let the starters do good work and go six minimum please.

You are not advocating for the starter to go 3 innings are you?

What does it matter if the offense can get completely shut down by a team like the royals

Don't worry....KC won't make the playoffs this year.

Add Robert, Grandal, Jiminez, and Bryant to that lineup and KC (or anyone else) is not shutting us down

Crochet honestly kinda scares me in the playoffs but the fact that I believe Bummer will turn it around and we have Kopech, Tepara, Kimbrel, Hendriks.... I mean come on.

Today is a helluva of a day to be catching hurt feelings.

Quick question...Does Dallas or Cease go to the bullpen in the playoffs or not even make the playoff roster?

and Bryant

He’s our best hitter now.

Cease will not see a playoff start, long man in pen

Yep. IMO Kopech back in the rotation

It’s like an all star game.

Truth.  I can't stop vomiting and might vomit straight through the final innings of each playoff game.  I mean I'm excited but I'm genuinely worried about how it will affect my body

Could we have Kimbrel and Hendriks travel separately as extra insurance.

The Dodgers can’t be beat. The effort is nice but  likely futile sad to say.

he'll be in low leverage, early middle inning roles or strategically used against certain hitters

You forgot to include the regular season starter put into relief

Cease was good in that role last year

The Nasty Boys got nothing on us?

It also needs to be said that Rick and the FO deserve a lot of credit for not putting their feet up after the first deal with the Cubs. The odds of the White Sox and Cubs doing two separate deals for bullpen help at the deadline seems astronomically low, not to mention the Sox clearly having to beat out multiple teams for the services of Kimbrell. 

They saw what others teams were doing and kept pace....and deserve credit for that.

That offense didn't have Grandal and Robert available.

Why does he scare you?

This is such a jinx thread
