Gio back out...not a good idea!

Should have left Gio in.  Bullpen gives up 3

This ballgame is ovah...pen suckksss

Why is José Ruiz interesting to anyone? I still don’t know why anyone expects our bullpen to be good. These guys suck.

That he wasn’t repeating his delivery and falling off to the side.  Are you even trying to keep up?  Man, you are a waste of breath.

So stop breathing . Exciuse me for actually waiting for a guy to give up a hit before I jump down his throat.

Well, 5 runs for Giolito. This one is over. I'm not sure they have an MLB pitcher on the staff right now other than Colome and Herrera. 

Ricky tries to be too cute with his pitching changes.

Ricky over managed the BP .  Lots of guys work better with a clean slate.

That wasn’t bad managing. Tried to keep this game close.

Just hope to see the trio of important guys do well now

Side note about spin rates. Was surprised Jace Fry leads the pack on the Sox. His cutter, which somehow has more spin than his fastball, had >2600rpm and had a 50% whiff rate last year.

It is the 5th inning and he brings in a guy for one batter, not necessary

Did you expect Castillo to catch Giolito today, coming off his first start?

More of a comment that McCann seems like starter period. If hes the personal catcher for Giolito, fine.

That would be good.  Don't want to see all the air go out of the balloon.

 

Eloy is going deep next inning.

Ruiz is not afraid to hang a pitch

Single to center.  

Rope single to left.

Natural profession would be a ? to left in his next AB 

Nate, please don't be terrible.

Seemed like last time out Nate started to find his offspeed stuff after they hit him hard
