caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 05:14 PM) If Webb isn't used in the 7th or 8th he needs to be closing. The problem is you need to let him grow into the role naturally...it's a progression. Forcing Webb there right now probably isn't the right move yet. They'll try Cleto or Belisario first. I would go with Cleto, simply because there's nothing to lose. He fails over a two week period, then you've bought Webb some more time. Of course. Horrible defense gets the White Sox into a hole again. Demoralizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 This bullpen is absolutely unbelievable, outside of maybe Webb and Cleto. ERA is approaching 9.00 for the SEASON, for the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sox are really building up Lindstrom's trade value by putting him in as closer. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Another reason PK is a total waste of roster spot is he gives you no flexibility with late inning defensive replacements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Feel bad for Marcus guy can't catch a f***ing break to be a hero both of his HR's in the 8th have been s*** on by Lindstrom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 05:16 PM) Or Gillaspie. There aren't many good options. That forces Leury Garcia into the line-up, but you'd probably rather do that than take Abreu out of the line-up. That would put three guys out of their best defensive positions (Semien 2nd, Gillapsie 3rd, Garcia SS).

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) This has to Lindstroms last chance as closer he sucks. I know we had that error and flowers couldn't block the pitch Edited April 13, 2014 by Bigsoxhurt35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) They're going to have to start using Konerko as a defensive replacement for Abreu with late leads, just like they do with Danks for Viciedo.

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) Why does this happen to the Sox year after year? It wasn't Reed last year blowing a ton of games. He was around the low 80's (%) in save conversions. Lindstrom hasn't even come close to getting a single save. The problem is that this kind of pattern sets in (like it did starting out recent seasons with Thornton or Santiago), it's hard to get the confidence of the team back...when they just start expecting the bullpen will blow almost every single lead the offense fights for.
