Sox do not have a bunch of good pitching options...there's not some good option waiting for you.

I'm surprised Doyle is not in for Sam.

Two righties have squared up Hader so far.

Smoked it right at a guy

Okay, so it will be a 3 run lead in the 9th lol

Alright, let's score some runs and make the decisions easier for the 9th inning

Not sure what you'd do if he walks him.

It's a play Miguel has had issues with when he plays deep and the ball is hit softly. But the main issue on that play IMO is Mune, he didn't need to stretch hard/far for that.

I think they blew it. One thing is for sure: he didn't come off early. So if he was never on, then yeah he wasn't on yet.

I don't think they will overturn but I do think he's on the base.

Really impressive hack from Yordan

3 tough(ish) luck outs for Teel

Grant has thrown more than 1 inning in each of his last 6 outings (not all of them were good, but the last 3 were)

This is a big decision. We saw the Phillies get burned earlier today trying the same thing. Sox have done this more often though.

He smoked that thing too

Contact sucks

I guess that breaking ball must be pretty deceptive

To this point, this game has been managed exquisitely.

A couple more runs from the Sox and you could try to ride Sandlin as long as he can go

not an accident that they gave him a bases empty situation

You're basically choosing between Brazoban and Sandlin, I understand going with Sandlin. But might want to get Brazoban loose.

This may go down in infamy, but I think I'd rather have more Newcomb.

Sox do not have a surplus of good pitchers. You will need to get used to a pitcher you don't trust pitching in an important situation.

Making contact is overrated

Velazquez hit a fastball from Kay in the exact same way last time the Sox were in Houston
