Perhaps the blown game to Cleveland earlier this year? The first rule of winner threads is we don't talk about winner threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 On 5/22/2022 at 4:21 PM, SouthSideGeorgia said: Let’s count it out to 13: Cease, Giolito, Lynn, Kopech, Cueto (5) Hendriks, Graveman, Kelly, Bummer, Banks, Lopez, Ruiz, Velasquez, Foster, Sousa, Keuchel (11) Sousa and Foster at least have options, but Foster working his way to almost an essential piece in bullpen these days. Sousa would be dropped (down to 15). I don’t see how you justify Dallas in the bullpen with this lineup. Velasquez and Lopez become long relievers. Banks and Bummer your lefties. It may be Keuchel and Ruiz (or Foster). Not sure. But certainly Dallas is pitching on a hot seat these days, especially with Cueto pitching lights out so far. Don't think Lopez is going to long relief. 10 of his 15 appearances have been 1 or less innings. Of the other 5, none have been longer than 2 innings. With him throwing 99-100 these days he could be a choice for the high leverage innings that aren't covered by Graveman,Kelly or Foster . Foster has been very good and should be considered a mainstay. At this point Sousa should be used more than Bummer until the long haul proves otherwise. So right now the top guys in the pen are Hendriks, Graveman,Kelly, Foster Lopez, Ruiz, Sousa. That leaves 1 long relief spot between Velasquez, Keuchel and Bummer. Keuchel could indeed be gone. But things change so quickly with pitchers with guys getting hit hard or injured. Tough decision but it could become easier between now and the time Lynn finishes his rehab assignment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to protect Kopech throughout the middle 1/3rd of the season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine if you mean the Sox need 2 long men but one them has to be in the minors . Maybe Davis then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
