RHHHAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 You know they aren't going to score at all today? Because if not, 0-0 in the 6th inning with 2-4 in the Twins lineup batting is a very high leverage situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not paniking and acting like every fucking pitch is the bottom of the fucking 9th in the 7th game of the fucking Worls Series. It's middle of August. Roles have been established. There's absolutely no reason to be tinkering with bullpen roles this late in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have gotten 7 stellar innings for a bullpen game. Agreed, how dare our pitching let up a run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Collins should've waited in that AB. Leury needed to steal 2nd and 3rd base IMO. That way that would've been a sac fly. Up to Hernandez now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still a lot of volatility in a pitching staff, no matter the month. It's still a marathon, not a sprint. Everyone in the pen will continue to play, like it or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Kopech has pitched 1.2 IP since August 3rd. Hendriks has one appearance since August 1st. Kimbrel has 1.2 IP since August 1st. If these guys are only allowed to pitch in the 7th inning or later when the Sox are ahead, they'll be WAY underutilized and it'll cost the Sox very winnable games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
