chw42 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Burr threw 18 pitches yesterday. He threw on Wednesday against the Twins before that. Did TLR just forget he was on the team or is he not healthy? Edited July 11, 2021 by chw42 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because once the score got tied after he left, he is no longer involved. Ruiz? I don't think so. Foster? No, because he got the save. Can't get both the Save and the Win. The system they have makes perfect sense, but you do not. I'd give it to Cease. His effort earned the win more than anyone else's. I don't care when the final lead was attained. If that doesn't make sense I will just have to not make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWokeUpLikeThis Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Congrats to La Russa and the boys on completing the first season series sweep of 5+ games (7-0) in 120+ years of franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 in my opinion, Kopech is the best pitcher in our bullpen, not Hendriks. If he is not available out of the bullpen the Sox are going to lose a lot of games after the 6th Perhaps scouting reports on Hendriks may have made him more predictable and hit-able this season. Crochet and Heuer are the only other relievers I have confidence will help hold leads in the second half of the season. For me, improving the bullpen and adding a starting catcher are the highest priority for trade acquisitions. Yadi would be a great match for this team 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yadi would be a great match for this team I believe you overlooked Bummer who should return soon, and Burr who has pitched well this season. The restrictions scheduling Kopech and Crochet, for both production and development, has restrictions at times in terms of availability. It wouldn't surprise me if Kopech is stretched out to start over the next month, should have enough innings in reserve based on his very conservative usage the first half and lengthy IL stint. Hoping Crochet gets multi inning appearances to help him stretch to Kopech 2021 level innings next year and a starter in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quit blaming Larussa maybe blame burr for being a pussy, or maybe burr tweaked something. That said, the manager said he couldn’t go. I do t think he was drunk either.

Should we make this retroactive, and award a W to all starting pitchers who ever left the game after at least 5 innings while ahead in the score, only to have a subsequent relief pitcher give up the lead? The qualifications for a W are etched in stone, and that stone is way over 100 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have brought the lefty Fry to pitch to the lefty Stewart. Stewart was 5ft away from a walkoff. Dodged another bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LH doesn't walk batters, Ruiz does. Ruiz should have been our last option. He is not good in pressure situations/closer. Remember the As playoff game last season asamajor example.
