Cisek is on a one year deal. They are eating 4 games of salary

This. Unless Detwiler was hurt, no reason for him not to be in the game over Gio yesterday. At least with Detwiler you have a chance. As soon as I saw Gio on the mound, I turned it off because I knew he was going to give up a run.

_________________

I didn't turn it off. He could get lucky on not hit the bat on the sweet spot. But no, his aim is too good.

I thought it was two, but there was an option. Cishek had actually pitched a bit better as of late. 3.14 era last 15 games. So probably more useful than Gio.

Neither should be on the postseason roster, especially with Crochet's arrival.

My daughter has watched almost every game this summer. Every day when the starting lineup is announced, she either says “good lineup today”, or more often, “why is Mazara playing???”

Leadoff walk. Finally Plesac is throwing some pitches. Ricky sends in Dyson to bunt. And he immediately fouls out on a single pitch. Anderson who has fallen off the map then grounds into a double play. Great managing.

First of all, Edwin should not be starting regularly. Second, it would be great if he could actually attempt to hit the ball to right field. He is trying to pull everything in the opposing pitchers know it.

Fuck....he sucks

Ricky is such a piece of shit for continuing to play Edwin. I can't even blame Edwin himself because he is just getting old and has lost it. But there was no reason he should be penciled in as the DH every day. This manager absolutely sucks

About time, Mazzara!

NOMAH!

That might be the biggest hit of the year for the White Sox. What a time to come through!

I know he still has a little power, and a guy like that, if he is swinging well in the playoffs, can make the lineup even better....but he's just a rally killer. He's not even close.

Then bat him 8th. You are right, he is absolutely a rally killer in the middle of the order like that.

Cordero.

Another great move, Ricky!

Send this asshole with his sleeve rolled up to Schaumburg tonight.

Why is he still pitching

Hopefully the plate does not jump around on Rodon as it can tend to do sometimes.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? I almost never talk about managers but he's really gonna bring a guy who hasn't pitched in two months into this spot?

Hasn’t thrown a real pitch in 6 weeks. Bases loaded seems like great place to start

Irrespective of outcome a stupid fucking decision.

And no relief in 5 years.... weeeeeeeeeeeeee

That is now 3 days in a row I have called it with this Sox bullpen.

Yes the relievers need to do their job, but they've been put into situations in three consecutive days that they're absolutely not used to being in. That is on a manager and nobody else.

Can you fire Ricky right now? Like some ceremonial thing in the dugout mid-inning?
