Beating a dead horse but if your hook on Giolito in the second inning was one run and/or eight pitches, what are you even doing?
Closers have failed before. Even the great Mariano Rivera blew over 40 regular season games over the course of his career.

JUMBO DONG OFF THE DAMN NATIONAL CAR RENTAL SIGN
I love the Red Sox home run cart ride.

It was a tough series, and perhaps one they should've one, but those Pirates for some reason are very pesky, writes @jlenz1bballin. #Brewers

Pablo López recorded a new career high yesterday.
good job, @pablojoselopez. #JuntosMiami
Not paying close attention to game but I heard a dinger and thought for a sec “oh good the White Sox scored” only to realize I’d just missed their ABs they went by so fast. (Not so much rooting for White Sox as for Giolito and a closer game.)
Red Sox's J.D. Martinez homer:

#Dodgers were clearly frustrated with the 'strike' zone the past two series.

That was rough for Lucas. He will bounce back
RT @alec_lewis: Here's a statistic for you on Brady Singer: His CSW% (called strike + whiff percentage) is No. 12 in MLB (32.8%). Tied with Lucas Giolito. Better than Max Scherzer, Clayton Kershaw, Aaron Nola and many more. A real good predictor of future success.
Giolito didn't need to come out for a second, but I suppose there are only bad ideas right now.
Pissed Tony pulled him. Shoulda kept him out there for 80 pitches minimum. Now the bullpen will be blown.
Devers walks and Giolito exits. Burdi is in.
Giolito walks Devers, and that's it.
Burdi pitching.
Not sure why Tony La Russa would let Lucas Giolito throw 40+ pitches in one inning or why he'd send him back out for the second after that.
RT @courtney883: Just not the #WhiteSox day. It happens. A split in Boston isn’t terrible. Move on tomorrow.

Giolito walked Devers and he's finally coming out after 1-plus innings and 53 pitches.
Happy 60th Birthday to Spike Owen!
Spike liked to slide.
