Basically he had a hiccup yesterday.
It just sucks because the team really needed that game.
Exactly.
You can't fault a manager for putting in his closer to close out a 3-0 game. Things like this happen in baseball to every team and every closer once in a while.
The problem is the way the Sox played against Atlanta and Anaheim, and most of the rest of this season. If the Sox would have taken the two series against the Braves and the Angels like they should have, yesterday's hiccup wouldn't be that big of a deal.
