74 pitches and yanked him in a meaningless game. Convince me that wasn’t dictated by the FO before today’s game.

He probably wasn't gonna go 7 regardless, but I don't know why you don't let him try. 150k is basically means nothing in baseball.

So will Ron start the first playoff Gamethread now?

They wouldn't have pitched Newcomb who had a 100 k bonus

I find the fascination with this baffling. I couldn't tell you one other person on that list in the Top Ten other then Adam Dunn.

250k would have been too much.

Kolson is pretty much a guaranteed strikeout. Shouldn't be a tough decision to sit him in the postseason but I don't see that happening, not like we have better options at short.

Move Chase to SS, Ant to 2B and either Doyle or Grichuk to the OF

It was 227 and it is a record and I for one am not fascinated, I’m actually sick to my stomach that a White Sox player holds the record.

Hit him 8th or 9th and hope he doesn't come up in a big spot. Maybe he'll run into one.

God help us all

Nice job by Richards to save the bullpen. 3.1 inning save.

Im aware its a record but I just dont understand why it needs to be pointed out constantly. Situational hitting is when K's matter but does it matter if a guy rolls over to 2nd or strikes out? Its an out either way.

Great season board. It's always great hanging with you all. 84 wins. Hope we can continue next year

I would so love to see us face Cleveland.

Felt like Scriff dog signing off for good

Surround him with contact hitters to minimize Ks damage.

Agreed. Eventually their voodoo magic expires in the playoffs.
