August 21, 20214 yr Well one of the Cubbie pitching trades worked out tonight. Hendriks was tremendous in the 10th.
August 21, 20214 yr If the bullpen as a whole can come around, this team can get on a run to snag home field advantage, still a ton of baseball left though but great win...3/4 against the Rays this year. Edited August 21, 20214 yr by MexSoxFan#1

I mean, win the next 2 games and we are 1 game away from the number 1 seed. Tampa Bay cannot have a winning record against the White Sox after today. One more win for the tiebreaker.

Hopefully it motivates him. I mean, he got 2 outs before he got pulled. Yes he needs to be better than that, but he didn’t get the chance to lose the game. He loses the game, fine he got beat again. Give him the chance to at least win or lose. He’s a big boy.

Then when he came in he looked terrible. If Kimbrel had been lights out for the Sox he doesn't get pulled. The only person to blame is Kimbrel.

He was given a clean 8th and he looked terrible.
August 21, 20214 yr Lynn, Rodon, Giolito That's a terrific top 3 for the playoffs Get Grandal back and that's an imposing lineup as well.

But he was pulled because him versus Lowe was somehow a worse matchup than Bummer versus Arozarena? No. Pitch him, he’s one of the best closers ever. If he fails, it’s on him.
