Horacio Ramirez is starting the first game

 

Ugh, why? We have Carrasco or Thornton in the pen. With Richard on the mound in game 2 and CQ up in the bottom of the inning, we should be doing everything we can to get 3 quick outs. Instead, we're putting a guy on the mound who's been giving up about 2 hits per inning.

Well Horacio has a good opportunity today to show that he is to be trusted as big time reliever for us.

 

Lets hope he can have a good inning, but they are sending up some good hitters. Huff has been great this year...

The fact we're pitching Ramirez instead of Thornton makes me think that Thornton asked for another day off. That's the only possible reason I could think of.

 

 

That's EXACTLY why the Sox should've called up Broadway instead of activating Crede. We could've easily been able to go a couple days with one less fielder until it's time for call-ups.

Maybe they figure they're more likely to want him in the 2nd game?

Here's my thinking though...this is like the top of the 9th in a home game where you pitch your closer to give yourself a chance at the win. If Ozzie wants a lefty on the mound, then I don't think there's any question Thornton is your guy. We'll have Jenks and Dotel available later tonight anyways. I just hate using our worst reliever in such a big situation.

Yeah, it could theoretically be an incredibly easy win. Throw the best option out there first.
