Joakim Soria

Brad Glaze a stud.

Uh, Joakim Soria's a stud as well.

But think about it.

S- Tyler McGill and Abner Uribe.

Look at the relievers.

Joakim Soria, Brazoban, Tyler Davis, Jordan Hicks, Brian Hudson, Sean Newcomb, Trevor Richards, Brant Taylor.

That's a lot of arms, but who is the closer? Who is the setup man?

Jordan Hicks.

In October, you need stability.

If the starter goes six strong, you need a reliable ninth inning arm.

Can Joakim Soria Brazoban step up? He's got experience.

Brazoban has done well in relief spots, but the issue is workload.

And speaking of depth, the bullpen had to step up.

With Joakim Soria, Brazoban, Tyler Davis, and Jordan Hicks available, you need reliability.

The White Sox held Colorado to two runs total.

That's efficient.

It creates a vacancy at the end of the game.

Without Kimbrel, you're looking at guys like Joakim Soria, Brazoban, Tyler Davis, or Jordan Hicks.

Hicks has the stuff, but experience matters in high leverage spots.

The manager will likely go with whoever has the best recent performance in practice.

You had in the lower levels, uh, you know, Aiden Smith really played well for Brooklyn, helped them make their push.

You had Gabe Davis, uh, you know, showing himself to be a pretty promising arm that the Mets added in the Joakim Soria, Brazoban trade.

Uh, Luke Gabrish from the Brooks Raley trade really pitched well.

So, uh, even Gary Gilhill made it up to triple A and threw the ball well both in double A and in a few starts in triple A.

You know, Jordan Hicks, he was hot for a while there, and now he's kinda cooled off.

This is where acquiring Joakim Soria was supposed to help the White Sox, and with Soria being hurt and now injured and not having that addition to the bullpen since the trade deadline, being able to capitalize on that, that's really hurting the White Sox right now.

So I think it's imperative that the White Sox in the next couple of days, in the next couple of games may ...

A- again, I, I am in favor of having Sean Newkome open because if that gets him back on track and get him some confidence, you're gonna need him, um, before the end of the season next week.

Right.

Raul Ibañez, Iglesias, all these dudes, Joakim Soria.

They don't get any of them.

And signing Craig Kimbrel in the middle of a season, that wasn't really prioritizing.
