This isn't an insult on just the Red Sox (b/c we do it too), but I'm not a big fan of constant switching of pitchers within an inning. It just makes boring baseball. Bill James had an idea that I agree with...

 

Managers could only put in a new reliever if...

a ) new inning

b ) reliever gives up a run

c ) one free mid-inning switch per game.

God, I hate a Francona managed game, he's all about situational matchups, even if it means 5 pitching changes in 2 innings.

 

 

Yep, f*** that coach for making the smart baseball decisions during a game. It's a good thing Ozzie doesn't have any real specialist pitchers, because I don't think he'd know how to use them.

I'm not a fan of Crede, but if we lose this game, Buehrle is the goat.  We gave him enough runs that we should have expected a win with him on the mound, and he s*** the bed tonight.

 

DING!

And if Buerhle doesn't throw it right down the middle to Varitek, things are different as well. It was a bad start, it happens, the blaming game won't fix anything.

 

Very true. Guys on Offense need to pick up Mark.

Ahh yes, time to bash our ace cause he had a bad game.

 

Sure is. Is he untouchable from criticism because he's our ace?

 

It was pathetic watching Buehlre lose command of his changeup and tailing his fastball right across the plate for 6 innings.

His swing looks good, he'll get beat on a good pitch and K or hit it hard somewhere, just watch.

 

His swing is way too long right now. He's getting good pitches to hit, and his back is just flying open. That's why he's been hitting a lot of lazy fly balls to RF. He has nothing behind his swing.
