I assume he’s not being used as a starter to keep his innings down for the year?

Probably and to just get his feet wet.

Who cares? In the end, he'll make no difference. 100 more losses next season.

Don’t agree with wasting mlb service time, especially this year

Yeah, I am not sure I understand the strategy.  I know these guys have to get MLB experience sooner or later but the Sox simply don’t have enough talent on the offensive side to get things jump started yet.

1) Needs anything to fire up the fanbase

2) With Thorpe hurt, Zavala hitting .186 and Wilson being horrible, and Miguel Vargas being New Maldonado, Getz needs to show fans that he can be trusted to get something in return for an ace pitcher before he deals Crochet this summer.

Berroa was more of a gas can too.

Just seeks of desperation to avoid the loss record...but also musical chairs with Charlotte and Birmingham rosters.

Where's our Hodge?

You might want to stop being a fan for the next few years

You never know...new ownership could arrive before then.

I haven't quit on the team. The team has quit on me. You are right about the next few years. At least.

Service time is not applicable here since it’s so late in the season.

Yeah, they're bringing Iriarte up to appease the 18 fans who even know who he is. Some of you guys need to touch grass.

In reality, they're probably getting his feet wet in hopes that he pitches well, has a good Spring and might be able to fill a back end starter role next year.

another mind boggling Getz decision

Will be the 40th player to make his Sox debut this season. 27 was the previous franchise record. And will be the 61st player used overall- also a franchise record. But Getz and company are doing a bang up job.

Pretty sure we'll have more pitchers used than team wins in 2024

I'm sure he will thrive under Katz, thrive!

Literally nobody is saying Getz is doing a bang up job - literally nobody. A handful of us realize he took over the very worst situation possible. He took over a team where every single asset failed other than Cease and Lopez. He took over a team with a notoriously bad owner, hardly any MLB assets and a bad farm. What's he supposed to do? I wish we had a different GM, but I'm not going to hate Getz for the Sox situation.

He's just getting his feet wet.

Sucks that he's diving head first

It’s anti-Reinsdorf

I was in the car tonight and got the postgame show on Sirius. The announcer (McKnight maybe?) was saying, get this, the plan is to have him pitch one inning in relief every 3-5 days. He'll start and finish the inning. He won't inherit any baserunners. The announcer stressed all season he's been a starter.

So I don't get this. Why make him a reliever now?? As much as I hate openers if he HAS to pitch just one inning, make him the damn opener. He better not get hurt suddenly becoming a reliever. The announcer on postgame said he's had problems 'some games' walking people. Other games he's hardly walked any. He was in the Cease deal I think so he better be good!

Anybody else disagree with how the Sox are handling his role? One inning max, a clean inning in relief at some point in the game.

Get that first career MLB L out of the way
