White Sox relievers: 1.25 ERA, 28 Ks last 8 games (21.2 IP). Third straight scoreless outing for Zach Putnam Mon. AP

 

It'll be even better when they can protect leads. But there's also a lot to be said for holding a team in check when behind thus giving the offense time to mount a comeback. Also should help extra innings record.

When have they not protected leads? Sox have won every game that they were leading when the starter left the game. There just haven't been very many leads to protect so far.

I think that's what he meant.

I think this bullpen is better than when they won the world series

 

It's more talented and that's not debatable. Just hopefully they can find the horseshoe that was up the '05 bullpen's arse. Sometimes that's more important with bullpens.

Yeah, on paper this bullpen is better than '05, but the seasons that Cotts and Politte had are going to be hard for even the most talented relievers to reproduce.

Not sure about that...

 

After Shingo went down, our "closer", Dustin Hermanson, had a 0.00 era for like 80 games before his back started hurting and Jenks took over. ;)

 

Even on paper, a 0.00 ERA for that many games is pretty damn good. ;)

Yeah, add Hermanson in there.

 

2005 ERA+:

 

Cotts 233

Politte 225

Hermanson 221
