Rahimi & Grote Show · Jake Peavy reflects on his 'glorious' days with the White Sox · 3 Apr 2026 podcast

It goes back to even my days there with Trevor Hoffman.

We had a Hall of Fame closer.

And I like to, when I'm building my team, I like to build the game backwards for sure.

And when you can have a guy like the Padres have a guy that's throwing the ninth inning, they have a guy who's throwing the eighth inning.

It's not matchups.

They're not worried about who's coming up.

It is, you know, last year Robert Suarez was throwing the ninth.

Then we went and got Mason Miller at the deadline.

He's the eighth.

Jason Adam was throwing the seventh.

You had Maury Holm and Estrada in the six and righty-lefty combo to come in and put out any fire with a lead in those innings.

So you're asking your starter just to get you to the fifth or the game tied or the lead, and we believed that we were going to win that game because of the strength of the bullpen.

So you've got to have that bullpen.

We all love them.

The role has changed.

These guys aren't –

Back in the day, it used to be if you were in the bullpen, you kind of were a failed starter because everybody was trying to start.

Now, with just the science and how they've gotten every kid throwing 95 to 100 and they can teach him spin, he can get guys out, especially one time through.

Oh, I'm in love with it.

You know, and I'm certainly happy that I'm done playing because I think it's going to end up being a huge advantage to the hitter.
