No but seriously brilliant managing not even warming anyone else up as your pitcher was either throwing balls way out of the zone or center cut pitches.  WTF Craig?

Cute. The Cinderella whitesox get to beat the big bad cubs in the latest chapter of their season of enchantment.

Zeferjahn must be a RP version of Jamo, since he joined the Cubs.  High pitch count and HR's.

The moment that he walked Murakami on 4 pitches was the time to take him out 

[chibears55]

Get a good start and either the bats cant get any runs or the bullpen suckss...

Bats score a bunch, Pitching suckss

It incredible how they managed to win 70 games with so much shitt they have going on with this team

Hard to take him out when no one else is even warming up

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

why are Boog and JD acting surprised he was ready for a first pitch fastball as a pinch hitter. Jesus. It's the oldest horsefeathers in the book

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Man, Jed got ensorcelled by a 26 strong innings from Zeferjahn and made him his premiere bullpen addition at the deadline. Whaddya know, he immediately turned back into the same walk and HR pitcher he’s always been.

[UMFan83]

So we're just going to let any hope of keeping the game close go away?

Webb was up

[JHBulls]

Death, taxes and Boog and JD are quick to tell us that a certain pitch (this time the 4-seam FB) is so good from a pitcher that just gave away the lead. 

Not the horsefeathers time. In fact, it’s never the time. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know the numbers will probably say otherwise, but just based on the eye test I have not been impressed with Zeferjahn's stuff even when he is throwing strikes.

[JBears79]

What has he shown at all to even be on the mound in that situation. Every single outing he has hes looked terrible and CC just keeps rolling him out there

[Geographyhater8888]

He can’t throw his slider for a strike.

Like how they highlighted Shota's league leading walk rate before he proceeded to walk 3 hitters?

[chibears55]

Seriously,  what do they even have to lean on in the bullpen outside of Webb and Rolison for the most part.

Are they going to need to rely on the starters that got moved to the pen ?

Rea, Assad, Peterson 

[abuck1220]

I have pretty low confidence in him at this point, but they just need to activate palencia and hope for the best.

Did he face 3 guys? Could they have taken him out? I don’t think they could after Muni.

Thornton.😄

Let me guess,  bats will go down quietly these last 2 innings

He got the last out in the 7th

[Geographyhater8888]

Zeferjahn might as well be an Astros reliever

[chibears55]

1 down 5 to go 🙄

[chibears55]

2 down
