Who were the untouchable players according to the FO again?

Here comes the totally unnecessary 5 out save attempt

I see the Royals scored in the 8th so I figured Bummer must've come in and I see by the box score that yep it was Bummer.

ERA around 7.50 since the deadline. Can’t believe they didn’t trade him and Cease.

Good point, but I also don’t trust these guys to make a good trade anyway. I’d prefer they be even worse next year to push them even closer to making wholesale changes.

Can't really argue with you on that.

Way to go Bummer ?

He used to not give up homers  right? Even when he struggled. Or am I misremembering that?

Walks, bad luck and bad defense used to do him in. Now he's getting hammered like the rest of our staff.

Santos really throwing 93 mph changeups?

4 all year, all in the last month. Two in the last week.

Looks like it'll be Shaw in the 9th.

Robert doesn't do so good with RISP.

Let the meltdown begin 

Shaw's got to make it a little interesting I guess

Pretty sure a reference to Bummer.

Getz' 1st win !!!

Bryan Shaw and his 5.46 ERA has just taken over the 2024 closer's role.

Contract extension forthcoming?

 

 

Thought Shaw was close to 40.  Still just 35, lol.  Seems like he has been around forever.

If you would have put down $100 on Pointsbet before the game on Bryan Shaw getting the save tonight you could've won 3 gazillion dollars.

There's always a catch isn't there.

Sox win a game. Right on!

Bummer is awful and has been for a few years. "Bad luck" my ass.

Cubs at one point were nine games under and dead last in the division, then they played 10 consecutive games against the Cardinals and White Sox...then they had another stretch of 12 straight against the Sox, Royals, Tigers and Pirates.

One owner hires quality baseball executives based on industry qualifications, gives them an annual budget, and lets them spend how they, as professionals, see fit.

The other is Constanza, does the complete opposite, yet acts as though he is superior and his 29 fellow owners are rubes.

Jerry knows more Brooklyn Dodgers than he does White Sox, but sadly he won't implement Branch Rickey's saying he made famous on the South Side "Luck is the residue of design." (OG quote by John Milton).

He and Kopech will be mainstays
