Jacobs looks absolutely dreadful whenever we have a lefty pitch to him. Williams was the person to face him there, no doubt about it. If that was the Sox batting, you bet your ass the manager would have brought in the lefty reliever.
Yah, I can understand that, but I think they were caught offguard by the two quick walks, which could be their fault, and the fact that at somepoint somebody other than Thornton is gonna have to hold some games for us. I think he was trying to give Line some confidence hoping he'd be worth something down the stretch. Unfortunatley, like Dotel, he showed that he sucks and we are screwed down the stretch. Awesome.
