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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 You are not advocating for the starter to go 3 innings are you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

35thstreetswarm Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Truth. I can't stop vomiting and might vomit straight through the final innings of each playoff game. I mean I'm excited but I'm genuinely worried about how it will affect my body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Could we have Kimbrel and Hendriks travel separately as extra insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
