The problem is that the Sox dont scout pitching. Last year in a pregame interview, Crede was asked if they had seen video on a pitcher that was being called up. He said no. He was asked if he knew how goo dhis stuff was, he said "no". He was asked if he knew what type of PITCHES the guy had, he said "no". So basically, the entire club had no idea what they were going to face. It could have been a 59 MPH knuckleballer or a 100 MPH heat throwing pitcher. They wouldnt have knonw until the first pitch.
