Completely inevitable.

I keep wondering why on earth they insist on bringing Bummer in from the pen. Every time I see him on the mound, I automatically assume he'll give up runs, and probably lose the game. Just like today. I wish they had traded him in July. Worthless. I know he's a lefty, but so are Banks and Peralta.

I agree. Since our cable company will charge me on the May bill for MLB Extra Innings, I want to know if we're going to get a price break for the Friday games we're going to miss. We pay MLB to watch Sox games, since we live out of state, and this 'special deal' nonsense simply sucks. If other 'deals' start to materialize, paying for MLB won't be worth it unless they drastically reduce the price.

Sad, but true, right? Am I the only one here that thinks Hendricks is hugely over-rated? I've watched him screw up over and over and over. Ridiculous.

A remarkable commentary, well reasoned and well written. I think you'll find more fans than you imagine agree completely. I know I do, especially with the LaRussa points. I never thought it was a good idea, but so many people disagreed, I began to think I wasn't being reasonable. But, he's not the right person for the job. I hope the winter months bring us hope for a better '22 season. Thanks again for your thoughts. Much appreciated.

Couldn't agree more. Probably the best I've seen him pitch all year.

Does anyone think he'll be on the playoff roster?

It's beyond painful to watch right now. What an embarrassing performance.

Does anyone know why Rodon hasn't been scheduled in the next several days? He's not on the IL, but nowhere to be found in the rotation. Are they just giving him an unusually long rest?

He looked like he almost limped off the mound. He's doing so well, they should probably take him out fairly soon, before he's back on the IL for another stint.

It's getting hard to remember!

Won't miss him, believe me.

Nothing new, either. Mr 'elite closer' gives me heartburn.

Is it the coaching, or does this team need a refresher course on base running? They've looked terrible all night.

My concern, too. I fully expected him to be in the lineup today. Does anyone know what's up?
