This is a reason to fire this clown.

Yep. Ricky is a good placeholder until a good manager comes in.

That’s like saying I’m a good placeholder. He sucks, period

He should have been a placeholder until this season. The White Sox are good and they're going to lose the division and probably lose the wildcard series because of their manager and his terrible decisions.

Rodon is rattled.

Shut up, Benetti. Ramirez did not beat the Sox. Their idiot manager did.

It just makes absolutely no sense. A starter, that hasnt pitched in 6 weeks. And bases loaded is when you throw him out there???? He wasn’t even good in the couple early season appearances he had either.

It makes no sense.

Ancillary to that, how the fuck does this help Rodon contribute over the next few weeks?

Step 1: destroy confidence
Step 2: ?
Step 3: shutdown lefty

Cordero get two outs. Time to bring in Rodon. Now Jose Ruiz is warming up. I guess this game isn't important. Can't have any of the best relievers go.

WTF is going on? Is this last year all of a sudden?

_________________

Are they trying to lose so the don't have to face Cleveland first round? Or is it just that no relievers are available? There has to be some explanation other than Rodon being the guy in that spot.

Would this not have been a great inning to give Crochet? Kind of close, good team, meaningful spot in the game...

Can he not pitch two days in a row?

Renteria must think the Sox still suck and he’s saving all his relievers for the “World Series” this weekend

Now Aaron Bummer is warming up. This is great.

Stone dripping with condescension noting Bummer loosening up...

_________________

Cordero was coming apart and he left him in. He got lucky with two outs and was suddenly confident so it was time to take him out. Ridiculous. Was he saving Bummer for when the game was already lost?

Just keep replaying it my head, and there is just no rational reason for putting Rodin in the game. None.

I said before the inning that bringing in Cordero made zero sense. I guess Crochet was used back to back. Where is Foster? If you are going to use Bummer where is he? There was nothing about that decision that made sense. Putting in Rodon is so terrible he should be fired now.

And listening to fucking Benetti during this makes it even worse.

Helped ruin some good late-inning comebacks, too

I was just saying, this is where I miss Hawk. This is no time for gibberish about Richie Zisk. Just shut the fuck up!

The call from Renteria to the bullpen.

Bullpen coach....

Thank you Benetti for reminding me about the losing streak. And thank you also for telling me how great Brad Hand is.

Benetti is a front running announcer. when things are going great he's screaming and cheering. when things go to shit he's unemotional and acts like nothing happened. like it was expected.

McCann is hitting for Engel? What the fuck sense does that make?

what happened to Eloy? injured again?

you guys been bragging all year how great this bullpen is.

all i see is dogshit other than 2 guys.

your pen is just as bad as the cubs pen.

Considering the situation and spot in the game the closer may have been the best option. Ricky can’t manage a bullpen.
