Somewhat dodged a bullet

Whew . Brand new game now.

Cease afraid to put the ball over the plate.

I'm not sure being afraid is why he isn't getting it over the plate

I would have pulled Cease…but not sure I can kill Pedro for the decision based on how bad the middle of this pen is

Yeah, I mean, this bullpen is beyond understandable levels of bad, so I get it. Just wish maybe the offense had decided that they were allowed to score in more than 1 inning per game.

Why is he still in there?  Man, Katz is terrible 

Not sure it's Katz. Grifol has pushed guys beyond limits when the BP is taxed.

Sheesh having to ride your horse on April 16th is not good.  

Sad to say…put Baltimore’s betting line being + $ right now is very tempting. I have 0 faith in our bullpen

Time to stop

Jake burger is a better DH than Eloy 

it's not even debatable

You can’t swing at that pitch, Colas

Man, that is a rough pitch to try and do anything with. Woof.

So unenjoyable, watching them hit in any inning after scoring.

He does it all the time lol

Have a game Seby

That was the book on Colas in the minors from what I saw. So much chase on anything breaking down and in. TIme to adjust.

Dear White Sox hitting coaches…

C'mon guys, his wife Stephanie monitors this site and this stuff is not funny.

I know it's not. It wasn't funny yesterday either. But the troll was allowed to keep going. I said now as a joke. I wouldn't say that to anybody. But I'm still miffed about yesterday. It was uncalled for. My bad didn't mean to go there. I'll delete the post

Team finally figured it out! Can't have bad performances with RISP, if you don't get anyone in scoring position!

Getting sick of seeing so many players regress

Cease would have allowed 2 runs at most if he had any defense behind him. What are you talking about?

We are really leaning on this Middleton guy.

Middleton dude got decent stuff

OK, game 16, and I'm definitely already tired of hearing Jason call him "Robert Jr".

I get it, that doesn't mean you have to say it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I'm a Jr myself, and no one uses it, in conversation.

Sox pen is allergic to a 1-2-3 inning

Wasn’t talking about Cease.  Was talking about the slugging DH who is showing no signs of power so far.

All the money in the bullpen, and the best arm is a guy signed to a MILB deal.
