Stupid Is...

Pitching Aaron Civale, who fell apart in the fifth inning last night against the Royals, giving up five runs; Civale is now 2-7 with a 5.37 ERA in thirteen starts with the White Sox. Or then relieving Civale with Tyler Gilbert, who proceeded to give up six runs in .1 inning of work. Or then pitching Mike Vasil for two innings with the score 11-1 Kansas City. Talk about the return of Mickey Mouse. Sox manager New-Mickey Venable didn’t see fit to use Vasil—now with a 2.38 ERA—in the eighth inning Tuesday night with the Sox up 4-0 but wastes him the next night down by ten runs. And with the Yankees coming to down tonight, Venable should’ve gone with Vasil Tuesday and rested him yesterday. Stupid is as stupid does. Royals 12 Sox 1.
