Well on the plus side, no one is going to look at Giolito's numbers and say wow, this kid had a great year except for that run allowed at the end of August.

If you actually watched the games Gio has pitched in, when he was struggling he'd get through 5-6 innings and give up 2-3 runs, Renteria would put him out there to give up a run and load the bases and he got 6-7 ER on his record instead of 2-3. It was bullshit. 

EDIT: Fire Renteria. What a sorry excuse for a manager. Get on the 1st plane out of Chicago, and make sure it is a one way ticket.

Gomez is such trash. Gio deserved a W tonight...

Try TVIX instead. Its double leveraged vs the VIX so you'll make twice as much. Cant go wrong.

Honestly I usually buy calls. That is the most bang for the buck.

Agreed, what are they trying to see from him?  Rather Danish over him.

It’s almost like when you purposely make your bullpen bad this happens.

you'd need the fucking championship royals pen with Rickie managing.  He thinks leverage is something you eat in the morning.

Absolutely idiotic 

It'd have been a perfect situation to see what Burr has; I assume he's at Navy Pier tonight, as we only request he pitch once a week

Why is Ryan Burr even on the roster if the Sox aren't going to pitch him at all?

LOL

And by the way, this pen is why Giolito gets sent back out over 100 pitches.

I need more Hamilton. 

I mean i've watched a bunch of Gio's starts this year, he's been awful for most of it and lately he hasn't. I dont think one extra ER is going to shatter his confidence if getting destroyed repeatedly in May and June didn't.

Guess now we don't see Burr .After all now it's a high leverage situation.

I thought we could flip him but at this point it's too late and he sucks

If we gave Gomez a clean start to the inning I don't think more than 1 run would've ended up scoring

jfc, looks like tank's back on the menu boys!

Gomez is in his 9th season and has basically never been good

Remember when Soxtalk was pissed he hadn't been recalled from Charlotte? #memories

I guess in the keep Eloy down call up young relievers don't use them in leverage world that the Sox live in that's the job requirement at the moment.  Suck for Luck, or something.

This is just stupid.

I've no idea why Gomez is still here and what the plan was from Renteria. Why use the worst BP arm that we have in a 4-1 game with a runner on first already? I don't know.

Eh, I stand by that. We needed to see if he was actually decent and flippable. Now we know the answer.

He had good numbers at Charlotte, at least in the first half. I wanted him brought up too, but I suppose that this is why he wasn't.

Renteria is as brain dead as one gets. Sorry excuse for a Manager. We all could manage the team better than his ass.

I don't even agree with that, even with a bad pen, go to it when your starter is gassed, especially when you're planning on that pitcher in the future. I'd much rather have had Gomez blow that at the start of the inning than at the end.

 

Hamilton's a pipe dream, he won't be up til 2019. I'm okay with that for a number of reasons, the fact that we won't use him the right way in Chicago among them.
