Tell Me Why

First off, why pitch Bryse Wilson and his 4.88 ERA if you want to sweep the Reds? If there’s some gibber answer about how well Wilson did in his previous start (five innings, one run against the Marlins), then why run out the lineup you did, New-Mickey Venable? I mean the lineup with Jacob Amaya (.102 BA going into the game, .097 BA in 62 at-bats after going 0-for-3 on the day) starting but not Chase Meidroth, Tim Elko or Edgar Quero. News flash: Lenyn Sosa is not a first baseman. Wilson went 5.1 innings, giving up seven earned runs on ten hits. Sox “hitters” managed three singles and a double in a 7-1 smackdown of a loss. Will it be any better today, against the Cubs in Wrigley Field? Well, Meidroth and Quero are slated to start, but not Elko. Yeah, we wouldn’t want a slugger getting his first look at the Friendly Confines, now would we?
