Touki won 11 games with a 1.3 WHIP for Atlanta's world championship team.
I think his issue has been staying healthy.

I'm surprised the Guards couldn't find a role for him with all of their pitching injuries and Bieber potentially headed out.

I now remember we have no relievers left.

 

I assume Santos is our new closer

Gio got let down by the defense in his first start, its like he's still pitching for the Sox.

Indubitably 

burger

Jake is getting a bobble head next year (or something)

Burger!

Look at all those HRs Jake hits, Milwaukee!

 

Hey MKE, here’s that bat you need…

 

 

see, now that we've finally conceded, tonights game doesn't bother me much

I thought Burger might hit one his 1st AB off Norris. Got him on the second AB

So if the Playoffs started today, is this the Sox' Championship Roster?

Lineup: LF Benintendi^ SS Anderson CF Robert RF Jimenez DH Burger 3B Moncada #  1B Vaughn C Grandal # 2B Remillard

Bench: C Zavala; 2B/SS Andrus 1B Sheets OF Colas

Rotation: Cease; Kopech; Clevinger; Touki

Bullpen: CL Santos 8th Bummer 7th Middleton 6th Lambert Long Banks & Scholtens Other Cronin, Peralta, Shaw

I'm assuming Liam and Crochet are shut down until 2024 or with surgery 2025.

Gonna need one of their top 5...you gonna have to pay for Touki baby ?

Touche is our franchise pitcher. He goes then I goes. 

Banks looking okay tonight too.

 

There's no reason for Andrus, Grandal, Clevinger or Middleton to still be on this team in four days

If Burger and Junior hit homers every night they would still lose. If you added Ohtani they might win some games.

Anderson either

Also there's no reason for Zavala to be on this team at all either. The only rational reason for him to be rostered is that he's an outstanding defensive catcher, but that really doesn't matter when your team blows. DFA him and see if Perez can be backup when we bring up Lee to hopefully replace Grandal. If we lose him, um, good for him.

Anderson either

I can see an argument for keeping him with how terrible the SS market is next year, but I also wouldn't say no and would like to give Lenyn at-bats.

I don't want to be that guy but it would be hard to fathom shutting Cleveland out let alone actually winning this game with the muck we have in the BP.

Ha ha. But now with one inning to cover, we may find out who the new closer is.  If it's Santos, maybe Middleton is already traded.

Bunt.

Banks has pitched well for us the last 2 seasons.  3.7 ERA; 1.15 WHIP.   I guess he doesn't have the greatest stuff, but he doesn't walk half the other team, either.  His numbers are better than these dudes we dealt away.

Oscar using these last two months to be useful would be....nice
