Kopech batted because they wanted him to pitch the 8th but with a short leash. If he got the 1st guy he'd pitch to the 2nd guy.. Instead he walks the lead off hitter and he's out of there. It's not like Larussa left him in to walk Adames like you make it sound. He left him in to get outs and since he didn't ,he rightfully took him out. My point is that if his leash is so short that you'd take him out after one guy gets on, then you shouldn't be giving up one of your 6 outs left by letting him hit. Either way the point is moot if he just double switch'd Kopech in in the first place. His first mistake created an opportunity for the 2nd mistake to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice there were no comments from them when Vaughn hit a laser the next inning. You are right. They also said that Goodwin was moved to right for his defense. They have not been watching many Sox games. TLR leaving Goodwin in the game thru 9innings was his most puzzling decision tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed the plate on that one ( the 1st 2games). Some love to Rey Lo on 6 of 7 hitters as well! Progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
