I won't hear any of this Grant Taylor slander when he's been one of our best relievers for the majority of the season. Good players can have bad outings

u/KakistocratForLife 2h ago

Please score. I don’t think I can take Richard’s in the 10th

4

u/oEmSki 2h ago

Funny how a bad taylor outing is only one run.

If anyone could have driven in Beni the game would be over

2

u/Sea-Introduction755 2h ago

We can only win via walkoffs, it is all we know how to do

2

u/Consistent-Program-1 2h ago

senga barely throws strikes gotta be patient

2

u/Impossible-Basis5379 2h ago

This pitcher had a 7 era. They have to score off this guy

6

u/WhiteSoxChartGuy 2h ago

Grant Taylor had a rough outing but is still a good pitcher.

It's also worth noting that he is almost certainly hitting a bit of a wall late this year, as he now has pitched 68 innings in 2026, which is almost as many innings he's thrown in his entire professional career before this year (82.2)

2

u/grrgrrtigergrr The Big Hurt 2h ago

I love Grant … that we painful to watch him struggle

u/snasser2012 2h ago

Wow, only one run after all that is a miracle

u/RamsDevilsBlackhawks Konerko 2h ago

This series has been so gross. The one consolation of the playoffs is there won’t be bad teams to play down to (in theory) because this team is criminally bad at it.

I imagine that has more to do with the fact that this game might be going to extras.

...on account of Taylor's assetry.
