Think of this...

Playoffs.  Starter goes 3 innings

Sox go

Crochet 4th

Tepera 5h

Bummer 6th

Kopech 7th

Kimbrel 8th

Hendriks 9th

That is insane.

You can start Dallas Keuchel for shits and giggles with that bullpen.

Still hoping this signals Kopech transitioning to a long role/possible playoff starter and ramp up his innings beyond his current workload, both for this year and beyond.

Crochet, Tepera and Bummer are not utterly "reliable" yet as to me wanting them to pitch in such a scenario. The Royals announcers were gushing about how the Sox rotation is the best in the AL. Let the starters do good work and go six minimum please.

It also needs to be said that Rick and the FO deserve a lot of credit for not putting their feet up after the first deal with the Cubs. The odds of the White Sox and Cubs doing two separate deals for bullpen help at the deadline seems astronomically low, not to mention the Sox clearly having to beat out multiple teams for the services of Kimbrell. 

They saw what others teams were doing and kept pace....and deserve credit for that.

Crochet honestly kinda scares me in the playoffs but the fact that I believe Bummer will turn it around and we have Kopech, Tepara, Kimbrel, Hendriks.... I mean come on.

Why does he scare you?
