He just can't get up for 8th inning no matter how high the leverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that AJ Pollack's slash line in 12 games and 42 AB's is: .190/.205/.238/.443 with 0 HR's. I know he isn't the only one struggling, but he looks really lost and uncomfortable on every at bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Agreed Katz needs to fix him. I also think until he gets his confidence and his dominant slider/sinker back, he needs to be in less high leverage situations. Foster and Banks have been pitching great and deserve to be in more high leverage late inning situations than Bummer. Until the better weather comes, when evidently he gets his stuff back, we cant afford to have him lose games for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accept the theory that closers can't pitch in the 8th inning like Kimbrel last year then it stands to reason there are some guys like Bummer playing out of position. But yes it's a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I didn't want to lose any players in a trade especially Madrigal but it was the right deal at the time to help put them over the top. It just didn't work out because the POS Kimbrel couldn't cope with the 8th inning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are facing pitcher you've hardly ever seen and in unfamiliar stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a knee jerk reaction by the FO. Bringing someone from the NL to face unfamiliar hitters expecting immediate success doesn't work for the Sox.
