The overreactions to Colome are pretty amusing. You could argue that he is overpaid, but he has been remarkably consistent for a reliever. He will be fine.

12-7.

4 runs on 4 hits for Flores w/o recording an out.

12-7 SF after 8.

Colome is washed

Sox lose 12-7.

Wish you were right but I fear not. Looks like toast...has for awhile.

Colome is the first member of the 26 players going to Chicago that is concerning me at this point.

Herrera has not pitched a lot but is a concern along with his health.

Yea he is what he is.  He's a decent closer paid fairly.  He's certainly not the elite guy you really need in a "all in" season but this isn't an "all in" season.  If the Sox are competing and doing well come July maybe you consider looking to add a closer.  Or perhaps Bummer has already ascended to that role.  

I'm really not that worried about Colome.  The worry is the SP not giving the bullpen and offense a chance 2 nights a week.

Colome's statcast data was terrible last year and his FIP suggested regression too...not sure why we are surprised. 

Colome is a bum. Were going to Ligue him and the umpire tomorrow
