QUOTE (bigruss22 @ May 11, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) I actually think Greg would be fine, while I think he can be extremely naive I don't think Greg is a bad person. He wouldn't even go in. Those people are far too deviant.

6-4 in the last 10 games, tied for best in division in that stretch. Bullpen has lost us 2 of 35 games.

QUOTE (Tony @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) That rate solely depends on the quality of said bullpen. But ideally, whats acceptable? 99 percent? 80 percent?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 11, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) No. I don't know how the modern protective dad feels about that one, though, but obviously 6 is too young to go into the ladies room alone. I would guess you just get in line by the stalls. It can't be the most comfortable situation in the world, but I don't get to go to a lot of games. How about in a subway then. can I take my 5 year old niece into the mens room?

Honest question: What percentage of the time should a manager's bullpen moves completely work out?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 11, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) But if you consistently make better decisions as a manager and put your players in the right place at the right time, then you will most likely have better results. And your team will be in first place...

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) Single dad brings 6 year old daughter into the men's room at a Sox game. Is that a problem? Apparently, they CANNOT see a penis or something will happen

Could have used that last inning Dan, but nice job

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) So why was he even brought in originally against a LHH? If he's better against RHH's, someone else should have been brought in. So every bullpen pitcher that comes in the 6th with more than one out to get should be situational?

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) 90 percent of the time the parents are "protecting" little Johnny and Jane they don't need protecting from anything. So they really dont need protecting in this situation?

Man, needed that one.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Pen could really use a guy that can go two inning high leverage on occasion. Was really hoping it would be Jones. Albers wouldnt be a horrible fit but hes not available. Petricka is supposed to be that guy but hes hurt.

Having your hottest hitter in the clubhouse certainly doesnt help

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) Last night was somewhat excusable because we had two backend guys we just couldn't use (Jones and DRob). Today? Not so much....you run Putnam, Jones, Robertson out for 1ip each and you live with the result. So who was going to pitch the other inning then? There were 4 innings left and you only named 3 pitchers.

QUOTE (ronkark @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) Honeymoon is over, folks. Pen has been train wreck. D spotty. Two relays left in pockets Friday. Rollins error then bloop fly drop. AJax drop. Eaton missing cut off. Teams stealing at will against Latos. No throws on 2/4 today. 2 in a row with two days to marinate on it. We need two starting pitchers, not one. Latos is cooked. Thanks for your 5 wins now move along. Did you jump back on board after the Baltimore losses or something? Jump back out of the wagon please.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) With a LHH on deck, I'm not sure why you don't pitch around Desmond. Sure, Mazara ended up getting a hit, but it's not the same scenario. because the guy on the mound is tougher vs righties and the guy on deck is a better hitter. But other than that, who knows

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) The mistake was having a dead Latos throwing a horrendous start to begin the inning, not pitching to Desmond of the 105 wRC+ as opposed to Mazara of the 122 wRC+ Jennings is also tougher vs righties.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Robin just *had* to pitch to Desmond there, huh? Huh is right, what are you talking about

Great pitch and another f***ing bloop mistake

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) I thought it was clear. I want the person with a male body part using the men's room. If that makes me an ogre, sorry. I am a little surprised the parents in this country who protected little Johnny and Jane from everything imaginable in this day and age aren't on my side in this one. What is it that they need protecting from?

QUOTE (SonofaRoache @ May 11, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Latos and Rodon are done being viable 3rd options for this year. No way should we count on them to get us to the playoffs or win in them. #hottakes

Come on Coop, get him out of there

The wind in that stadium is so weird. Blows in AND out

Really would have liked a hit there

Tyler!
