Of course.

 

 

Ventura has been more in "win the game" mode and less about development this year.

 

That said, Putnam and Petricka are our two weakest relievers and the whole "you can't use your best 3-4 bullpen guys in a game you're behind by just one run, even at home..." rule is going to get a firm test this inning.

 

Especially against Papi. Does Ventura use Jennings or Duke? Probably Jennings...

Are you watching the game by a chance?

Putnam is good. Your guys standards for bullpen pitchers is that they never give up a run or else they are trash. pitcheds need their reps too

 

Seems like he's very hit or miss, usually depending on how teams approach the splitter

Benetti sucks.

 

I actually enjoyed listening to Hawk's uber emotional, often angry broadcasts for the two decades that I've watched Sox baseball. Benetti's discussion of DRS and other advanced stats that I can just as easily read about is boring to me. I just find myself tuning out all of the noise.

 

Also, Rodon seems very average thus far. Not exciting at all. I'm stoked to see the Sox in Arlington next week, but I hope that my calculation that he's on the mound is wrong. Especially with Danks gone.

Ventura pushing ALL the wrong buttons this inning.

 

Guess it was due to happen soon or later. He left Rodon in too long against BALT, arguably.

 

Not sure I wouldn't have used Albers there, but hindsight is always 20/20.

 

Ventura has been fine, stop

The mods/admins have been receiving a lot of complaints about the reactionary, doom and gloom posters who typically inhabit this game thread. You guys who know who you are. We understand its emotional and you're posting your immediate reactions, but you guys are driving a lot of good posters out. Please save the "this player sucks" or "f***" or "there goes the lead" or "a little girl could shutout our offense" as much as you can. Let's try to get intelligent conversation in here again.

 

Oops. Please change my last comment to, "In my personal estimation, the broadcasting ability of Jason Benetti is below average. Listening to him makes me feel an urge to fold laundry."
