This bullpen is absolutely awful. Surkamp isn't even close to throwing a strike with his offspeed pitch. He belongs in the Paulino group for absolutely ridiculous expectations on here coming into the season.

Embarrassing bullpen.

Well, we needed this not-so-subtle reminder that this team is going nowhere with the likes of Surkamp and Webb in high-leverage situations.

 

So thanks, White Sox.

Good post. We do need that reminder from time to time.

He's a starter. He was doing well as a starter. We decided to make him a reliever. It was dumb and we're paying for it

He sucks. I am just giving Feeky some crap. He is a Surkamp fan.

He's probably not any good at the MLB level, but one thing he's not is a LOOGY, and he's being used as a strict one. He actually has better numbers against righties in the minors.

Some money on the bullpen players who wont be released before or during the season would be nice Hahn.

 

Hopefully he does better than he did this year, as Downs was a complete flop and Belisario has been awful also. The Sox did spend some money on their pen this year, sadly.

4.54 in AAA with a .302 batting average against isn't doing "well", in my opinion. They had to try and make him a LOOGY, as righties were destroying him.

He is like many non top prospect pitchers, minor league starters who have to spend some time in the bullpen. If he can't handle it, he can go sell cars.

Shouldn't someone on the coaching staff be aware of this fact? Amateur hour, per usual.
