April Fools Joke White Sox DFA Jake Diekman

Not sure how you keep Diekman on this roster past today. 

I'd rather see Banks up personally. Diekman is a sunk cost and they are trying to get to some bridge between him and Crochet most likely. I agree though - such a short leash with Ruiz, you'd expect the same with Diekman.

Maybe when Crochet becomes available he'll be let go but another stunning talent acquisition failure by the G.M.

He better be gone before that.

There is almost no other outcome than him walking at least one batter. 

Basically just bringing him in for the sole purpose of putting runners on base.

Tonight it was him also creating a high leverage situation to burn your closer. And by design apparently, according to Grifol post-game.

He’s not even striking guys out.

He is almost at 30 IP with the White Sox now. 

Why?????

This Diekman first guy out of the bullpen with a short lead bullshit has to stop

Correction, this Diekman ever out of the bullpen with a lead needs to stop

Correction of the correction, Diekman out of the bullpen at all must stop asap

Not going to defend him but when SF had  a heavy LHH out there he did well.  He should be last man out of the pen not first.

Pedro may be a nice guy but he's a horseshit manager. 

His instincts do not seem too good.  However I will say a good bullpen makes a manager look good and it works the other way too.  All those walks really haunt.

As the old saying goes, "Nice Guys Finish Last."

Again, this all about Rick Hahn who continues to send this team further backwards as a loser organization and embarrassment to this city and major league baseball.

His handling of the rebuild since 2016 has been an nightmare debacle. He has done a horrible job of building a competitive and healthy roster, securing a productive bullpen and now he couldn't even make the right choice for the team manager. He got a pass on TLR, but this one is clearly on Hahn.

Evidently Pedro forgot to look at Diekman's numbers thus far this season. In 8 appearances: 6 innings, 7 BB's, 7 ER's, 10.50 ERA and WHIP of 1.83. 

Pedro you're up 3-0 with only three more innings to cover and this is your first bullpen choice? 

This trainwreck is now gaining serious momentum heading down the rest of this season!

1.9 WHIP through 25+ innings with the White Sox.

Not sure how literally anyone else could be worse.

Not only is he still rostered, he’s being relied on to protect leads late in the game.

Not like this team didn’t desperately need a win. This was such a crucial game to potentially avoid sending them into a massive tailspin. 

Yes, I was still holding out hope they could right the ship a little.
