Sometimes it costs them, other times it doesn't, but the Sox play every game with 1 hand tied behind their back

It's been that way for decades because of the way this organization is operated. Until that changes what you said will continue to be the case.

We're going to get shut out, by the last place Twins, a day after scoring 3 runs on 2 HRs. So 3 runs, in 16 innings, none in the last 13 innings.

If only we can loan some runs from Monday night.

Roles are so well established that our CY Young Candidate SP went on the shelf today.   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. 

 

 

Also, Kopech’s established role was to pitch multi innings / spot starts. This one inning cap is a recent phenomenon, solely because Tony is fretting about 4-0 leads, and won’t use his best pitchers in tie games, down one. The FO tried to make the bullpen “Tony Proof” adding Kimbrel and Tepera, but apparently 4-5 solid backend pitchers are not enough to get past the Twins.

We have an off day on Friday. It really doesn't make a ton of sense to not have Hendriks or Kimbrel pitch for nearly a whole week before one of the biggest regular season games of the year.

Or how about and offense that has scored ZERO !

Some of you guys it's as if you just started watching baseball this year.   We are trailing 1-0, in a bullpen game that they had to plan for this same morning.   7 solid innings by this bullpen.   QUIT THE BITCHING!!! :rolleyes:

Sure it does, because MLB rules prohibit them from pitching unless it's the 7th inning or later and the Sox are ahead

because if that isn't the case, then those guys getting (tops) 1.2 IP over a 10 day span wouldn't make any sense at all
