Or.  Or. He's not paniking and acting like every fucking pitch is the bottom of the fucking 9th in the 7th game of the fucking Worls Series.  

It's middle of August.  Roles have been established.  There's absolutely no reason to be tinkering with bullpen roles this late in the season.

This x 1000000 

The bullpen usage is irrelevant when you can't scratch a damn run against the lowly Twins. 

The Sox have gotten 7 stellar innings for a bullpen game.

 

Agreed, how dare our pitching let up a run!

Doesn't seem fair that the White Sox built a super bullpen but MLB rules prohibit them from actually using it until it's the 7th inning AND they already have the lead

Also very unfair that the Sox aren't allowed to pinch hit in lefty vs lefty matchups.

Roles are so well established that our CY Young Candidate SP went on the shelf today.   There's still a lot of volatility in a pitching staff, no matter the month. 

It's still a marathon, not a sprint.   Everyone in the pen will continue to play, like it or not.

Are you implying Kopech, Bummer, Tepera, Liam, and Kimbrel have been overused?  Because they've been underused.  They need action.

Both teams seem pretty dead.  I think the noon start is playing a role in the scoring (coupled with our absolute shit lineup).

Twins I understand, but Sox still got some guys that should be hitting in the lineup

Kopech has pitched 1.2 IP since August 3rd. Hendriks has one appearance since August 1st. Kimbrel has 1.2 IP since August 1st. If these guys are only allowed to pitch in the 7th inning or later when the Sox are ahead, they'll be WAY underutilized and it'll cost the Sox very winnable games.
