No brainer, Liam says he doesn't gaf when he pitches, Kimbrel isn't himself not closing...don't know why it's so complicated

If he said that, then yes they definitely need to flip roles.

The White Sox behind Dallas Keuchel defeated Hyun-Jin Ryu on June 10th at home 5-3.

Carlos Rodon faced Toronto three times in his career, all three no decisions, including a 6-1 White Sox win on June 8th, after he gave up 1 run in 5 innings, with the Sox scoring one in the seventh and five in the eight to make a winner out of Garret Crochet.

Speaking of which, Garrett Crochet has pitched sixteen times in the 8th inning, posting a 1.26 ERA over 14 1/3 innings. Pass this stat along to Shelley Duncan.

 

 

Someone must have passed this info to TLR tonight.  Glad Bummer is grabbing some bench tonight.

Beard and his 80 grade speed should have Billy Hamilton as his personal coach.

Observations from game tonight.:  Cesar Hernandez looked good tonight.  Looks like that day off did him some good.  Hope Engel gets back soon.  Would like a permanent day off for Goodwin.  His OF defense has been atrocious.  He has been badly exposed.  Leury had a good game also.  Better than Mendick or Lamb. When we hit homers we normally win. We survived the 8 th.inning today.

He's brutal but I will say I'll take him over Len Kasper any day. There is something about Len on the radio that really pisses me off. The order of information and the way he delivers it sucks in my opinion. He also quotes stupid stats about random immaterial things happening in unison for the first time in 106 years. It's that dumb stuff that appeals to Cub fans. 

Tonight Bacon and Sox math at the same time was hard to take. Gordo also gave us the news that his grandfather went to Georgia Tech, and his father played football at South Carolina.  Very important points for the game tonight in Toronto.

Man if you think Gordon Beckham is that bad, you haven't listened to enough bad announcers.

What do they think is so bad about Beckham? Just his voice itself? Are all fan bases this grouchy all the time? Maybe.

Their rotation beyond Lucas and Dallas were the problem.

However, the bullpen angst is still overdone here, people only remember the bad outings, Crochet's and Tepera's outings out of mind. All their numbers are still solid.

Tepera and Crochet have been our best relievers the past week.

All good broadcast teams and Chicago sports have had great ones for a long time, have periods of conversating. Most teams have complete homers who spend the whole game being cheerleaders and boring cheerleaders/ticket sellers at that. I realize our guys are homers too but traditionally they've also told it like it is. Hawk told it like it is; Stoney does; Jason is good leading in that direction. Farmer, rest his soul, and DJ also told it like it is and Kasper is respected as well.

I think Sox fans could get used to Beckham's voice if that's the problem.

Crochett is now the 8th inning guy.  Period. Don't care whose feelings get hurt.  This is why TLR was hired, if he can't make this call he shouldn't be here.

And we should not see Bummer again in the 8 th this season.

Hernandez is single handedly keeping us in this game.

This has been Cesar’s best game with the Sox so far.  He did need that day off.  Maybe that $6M option is not looking that bad now.

I forget Crochet is on the team once a week. He isn't used consistently. 

TLR likes veterans like Bummer and Ruiz, and Crochet is basically a rookie.

Awhy the fuck does Tony always wait to pull pitchers that are getting lit up

Because he is not a good bullpen manager.  He has also taken out some relievers out too soon as well.

Kopech's slider is what's causing him to have all these struggles. His fastball was amazing today and they refused to throw it to get guys out. He gave up 3 hits on the slider. 

Who is calling for the slider, the bench, Sevy on his own or Kopech on his own?

Michael is just working on some things like in Spring Training.  Like Beckham said, these games don't really matter.

30 years ago Tepera might have been a closer. Throws strikes on the corner and keeps the ball down. Id rather see him out there

than our other guys. That said, it looks like GC could be a force for a long time.

I don’t think he is the 8th inning guy. Bummer pitched the night before and Hendriks wasn’t available (TLR said 2 days ago Kimbrel would get closer duties 2 days in a row). So I’m not sure who else TLR would have used but I wish he would use Crochet more, at least better than how he has handled him so far.
