But, the White Sox pitcher is quickly become less of an asset and more of a liability. The goal of the relief pitcher is to pitch his inning or two and not give up any runs. In a nutshell, he should see three batters and earn a goose egg. That’s his job.
Rondon has lost the ability to do this. In his last seven outings, he has given up at least one run. In three of those outings, he has give up more than two runs.
