No fan can ever complain about bullpen usage every guy out there is a crapshoot.  

Agreed the players aren’t producing, but whatever “game plan” Tony and Katz has put together in regards to the bullpen usage has failed miserably.

Well Moncada probably catches that if he watches the ball.  He got in between and didn't bury his head.  That would be a bad play for a HS 3rd baseman.  that's inexcusable for a major league 3rd baseman.  

He throws the out now he can't throw a strike

We have to stop talking about this as bad BABIP luck against the pen. 
 

The shifts and pitch calling has been atrocious all season.  You cannot run the shifts the Sox had on for Bummer there and have your catcher calling outside sliders all day.  They had Cesar pinching up the middle!  What did they think the Jays wouldn’t take the ball the other way??

The sweet sweet sound of Jose Ruiz throwing balls 

The worrisome thing is that this team seems to have a bit of a loser's mentality in the late innings -- waiting for the stupid thing to happen. 

I don't care how much you're "pacing yourself" for October . . . that's a hard habit to break.

Lol shit show 

The Sox have a chance to win. Who does Tony put in?

Put in Kimbrel? No it's not a save situation.

Kopech? No, it's not a save situation.

Ruiz, the low man on the totem pole? Why of course.

He probably threw less than 15 pitches last night.  He was definitely available.

They won’t use him in back to back games.

10 of last 16 batters have reached off of Bummer

When he can't use that slider effectively his sinker just isn't good enough to get him through outings. It's not as fast as it was in previous years.

"It's just bad luck"

Yeah, ok.

His defensive WAR will go up

At what point does this team feel embarrassed?

He should be out of the inning

Fucking pathetic. This is unwatchable.

Weak first place team. Gonna get smoked in the playoffs at this rate.

They couldn’t have developed Kopech worse this season

That one's on Yoan.

5 fucking straight batters reach after 2 out?!!

Too many games like this over and over and we never can get it done

Maybe in the off-season we can commit another 50 million to the pen

Ruiz trying to ruin Bummer's ERA even more. I swear he's probably the reason Bummer's ERA is 1.5 runs higher than his xERA.

He's pitched B2B multiple times this season.

Well I think the white Sox are officially no better than a wild card team and lucky they are in the al central 

Good thing we got Kimbrel rested for that save today!
