Here are 12 Walk-Off Thoughts after the Indians’ 8-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox Saturday night.
1. Saturday night went about how you might expect a bullpen game to go in which the Indians face a pitcher like Jose Quintana while also trying to stay away from their better relievers.
2. The Indians threw eight different pitchers, none of whom were Andrew Miller, Cody Allen, Bryan Shaw, Dan Otero or Zach McAllister. The Indians were delivered a tough blow with the injuries to both Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar. Thanks to their sizable lead in the division and roster expansion in September, these bullpen games are possible every fifth game.
