Why are you watching the cubs broadcast

Bummer warming up when the Sox have the 2 best relievers in baseball rested in their pen

I always watch the opposing teams broadcast. I have no idea why 

Hall of Famers understand if Kimbrel or Hendriks pitch before the 8th inning their arms will fall off

Reason you leave Lance roll in the 7th for thr first batter   is because you never if a pitcher has control right away when he comes in from the pen. It is not always a bad decision. You are not smarter than LaRussa.

By that logic you should never bring in a relief pitcher ever.

Hendriks and Kimbrel are only allowed to pitch in the 8th and 9th? If there's a guy on base bring in your best guys. They're all rested.

It's like beating a dead horse.   If other guys don't step on the pen then what's the point? 

Kopech, Bummer, and others need to do their job.  It's that simple.

Probably trying to avoid the Nationwide Jingle....I really can't blame him.

Terrible 0-2 pitch

He had no chance against the fastball up

don't mess around with slider just keep throwing high fastballs.

Bummer is getting the lefty on deck.

He's gotta be tipping that slider. 

So lucky.

He must be tipping his slider badly

fathom and i saw it coming, why are our catchers less tuned into the ABs then some of our message board posters?

You think Bummer is just closing this inning? 

I think the lack of flexibility with bullpen roles will be a huge issue in October if this is how Tony will manage it.

Bote is known to have absolutely no shot at high fastballs.  

Tony is such a great manager. I'm so happy they tore down Loretta's sign for him.

Everyone blames the catchers, but I'm sure Katz, Tony, & the White Sox analytics department also play a huge role in the pitch calling
