We're assuming a bullpen acquisition the White Sox made is going to be usable, and not total fucking garbage like every single one before him? Weird.

Tepera was great last year. Liam has been very good the last two years. Graveman has been good this year. Not following you here.

A little confused by this.

McGuire was acquired as a minor upgrade to backup catcher. The org viewed Seby as an adequate back-up now (nobody considered him as such in the offseason), so McGuire became expendable.

Not sure how that constitutes a "failed" acquisition.

This is it in a nutshell.

Rather get hot in August/September than May/June like last season.

We are very good.  Maybe not Yankee/Astro's good...but you never know what injuries and setbacks the other guys are having at playoff time.  Get to the playoffs and have momentum and a little luck.  Starting pitching will ultimately decide our fate and that is looking up lately.

I’ve been saying it for weeks. If Giolito and Lynn “get right”, this team coasts to a division title and becomes very dangerous in October. Big if but not unrealistic either.

Kopech is more likely to reach that playoff-caliber than Gio IMO.  Lynn is the must-get-it-together guy IMO.

I agree he has looked outstanding.  Obviously, the piece we needed.

Huge piece that finally gives them the ability to neutralize LHH. When healthy, I’m not sure there’s a deeper bullpen in the AL than the Sox.
