You got to get to those, you know, the seedy underbelly of a bullpen in a short series, in a three-game series.

You know, the White Sox will try and do it again in a, you know, kind of a, I always find these, like, you know, these kind of bookmark, or rather bookend series kind of weird.

You know, it was against the Twins at home, and then you've got a series in between with the Tigers, and then you're back against the Twins.

David Sandlittle faced the team he debuted against.

In his second start, which is always tough, not only does he have to come out there and make a second MLB start, but he's got to do it against the lineup that he dominated and has to change the prescription just a little bit.

But you have to get into that kind of meaty part of the bullpen if you want to make some hay, and the White Sox have done that.

I think the other thing that they've done, Layla, and to pretty good success, is find the right pockets to deploy their own top bullpen, whether it's middle of the ballgame or a little bit later or even using an opener.

Grant Taylor's pitched against really tough batters, and Grant Taylor, for the most part, ain't been hit.

They've got Sir Anthony Taminga's kind of rolling right now, and I've really been impressed with Tyler Davis over his last couple of outings.

He's moving up the leverage ladder, and we haven't even talked about Brian Hudson yet, who's one of the best left-handed relievers in all of baseball right now, which is just kind of crazy.

It's a great, fascinating question.

I think the talent there is undeniable, right?

The White Sox, I think it was Will Vettable who was talking the other day, or maybe it was Zach Bob, the pitching coach was talking.

You know, Cody, you know how it goes.

The days all blend together.

Oh, I know.

The days of Grant opening in the immediate future are probably done.

There was a lot of fuss put up about when he was opening.

I thought it was a pretty simple case of this is a guy who pitches high leverage.

The White Sox at the time weren't playing as well as they are now.
