Man it's goofy now....and I agree. Unless the guy is tiring....no reason to take an effective pitcher out just because it's a "close" situation.


It isn't....it's a "win the game logiaclly" situation.

that drives me crazy..you have your 7th Inning guy, your 8th Inning guy and your 9th inning guy..odds on each being perfect are slim..especially when you have JoBo looming in the 9th

I think he's done.





That's why they signed mix and match free agents out of ICU.....Betancourt and them are closers in waiting....but I would bet the waiting is over.

It's odd....his pitches were slow in spring traning,too,but they said there was no problem....he'll get there.


Funny how this all works.




Sounds like horse racing in a way.

I feel like Betancourt will do it,though. He's very good and believe his head can handle it...and he's a very modest and very real down to Earth guy. Not that Borowski isn't...he seems like a good guy.

Too bad.

How goes it dude?




Yup...I get you. He does seem mentally tough to be honest....but he just has nothing. Even last year---no idea how he did it.



Now we're gonna get you guys who have finally learned how to hit.

i was watching the Whitesox go up 3 early

But if you promote Betancourt to closer and everyone moves up accordingly, who then becomes the all important 6th inning, Tuesday and Thursday night, left handed set up man
