Not surprisingly, when he doesn't do his usual and lets Kopech pitch 2, the Sox win. "Oh those melons; if he's able; we're to have a feast, so nice." "One goes to the JR's table; all of us get each a slice." SOX FANS fixed that classic for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 4 appearances in 6 days You don't have your best RP pitching every other day or more in this case. You sacrifice today to perhaps keep Wilson healthy for the trade deadline. The loss or win today means nothing. But please keep giving the meatball takes. Am I missing something here or has baseball really gotten to the point where a reliever can't pitch more than 4.1 innings every 6 days? I mean it's not like he's been under stress in those appearances either he looks fresh. And, with the ghost runner it actually sorta helps his case, as if he gives up the tying run right off the bat, well f*** it, then pull him and "preserve" him. Players notice this stuff, I'd be curious if anybody asks Pedro or Wilson about it postgame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Looks like I missed another well managed game. Benintendi is such a disaster. Also, f*** Shaw. That asshole should have never been allowed to play for the Sox. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 2 hours ago, chitownsportsfan said: I don't get it. You let Kopech go 2, but not Wilson? I just want consistent logic from the manager. He was at 7 pitches, he breezed through the prior inning. He is not in any way on a pitch count or coming back from injury. He was ready to go out there and win it. I'm not sure why Tanner Banks couldn't have pitched the next inning and faced the 10 lefties who were lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was his 4th appearance in 6 days. How do you or anyone else think you know anything about baseball with this hot take ? Seven pitches....

WestEddy Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Grifol's like a bank robbery turned hostage situation. Yoan down because there was no mayo on the sandwiches. Then he intentionally walks Will Brennan because Chris Getz hesitated when answering about the helicopter. Grifol's just insane, at this point.

We have to fight and get better with runners in scoring position." ? No kidding Sherlock! I like how he says this but it's his own fault. Benintendi sucks so he promotes him to fifth in the lineup. Pedro thinks it's a demotion because "higher=better" but now a useless batter is in a position to hit when runners are actually in scoring position. How many did Benintendi strand today, 4 or 5 or more? Other odd lineup decisions that helped create this problem: pinch running for Vaughn then pinch hitting for Lee. not a terrible idea in a vacuum, except Lee is actually hitting and maybe there's someone else you'd pinch hit for (like Benintendi). The result is Pillar and Maldonado coming up to bat in extra innings and getting outs with runners in scoring position. Also odd: batting Sosa second and using him to sacrifice bunt. Many teams put their best hitters second in the lineup. If the manager thinks Sosa can't hit and is helping the team more by getting out on purpose, why is he batting second? I just watched the replay and this feels like a game that Pedro lost on his own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
