You realize he was 100% warmed up, right? With already a bullpen running on fumes there was no point to burn another arm in that situation. 

You do realize that Sousa was also warming up, right?  

Instead he went with Hendriks with 5 run lead to save Sousa for a high leverage spot on Saturday, which he failed, and the Sox lost.

well he did get hurt needlessly pitching in the 9th on Friday with a 5 run lead. 

Yes, I didn't understand using him, but the more you think about it, whether he pitched that game or not, I'm thinking this injury was coming anyway. He always warmed up with a sleeve on his elbow,  then took it off. So something has been up for a while.

Yeah, the comment was tongue in cheek.  He didn't get hurt cuz he pitched Fri.  Doesn't make the bullpen manage decisions on Fri/Sat any better, tho.

Literally? No it isn't, but he said it with an optimistic tone and we all know he meant "he should be ready to pitch over the next few days"

Hopefully just one of those deals where he wouldn't be ready until the weekend so they're giving him extra time and getting a fresh arm up.  Unfortunately, he's now out until the the 26th best case scenerio.

Just praying this isn't a long term issue.

You know they wouldn't have used Hendricks in the situation where Souza failed.

Yes, cause Hendricks pitches for the Cubs.  

But, yeah.  Again, still doesn't make the decision making any less idiotic.

Mr. Semantics.

That's what you do when the most important piece of the pen is ready. Otherwise they may have burned him for the next day depending on his previous load.
