The Red Sox lead the league in blown saves.
The White Sox bullpen is stocked with high quality reliable arm, even after trading Kimberly. The will be adding Joe Kelly to that pen when he comes back from IL.
No one in the pen is reliable enough to lock down saves at a 90% rate. And when tour team isn’t hitting, you need to lock up the games when you are leading.

The piggyback idea isn’t working out. I am not sure what the reason is to take out the starter when he has given up 1-hit lost in the sun and thrown only 68 pitches. If the advanced stats dictate that, they are worthless.
