One swing away from a new ballgame as our critical starter heads toward 115 pitches.

Wtf is happening here. Why. We have a 28 man roster with a rested pen. If kuechel gets hurt.....

And wasn't Cordero the only bullpen man used yesterday?  Wtf.  Burn him out, why not.

You guys wonder why I can't stand him, huh.

Inning Over.  

Good job, Dallas! Lubob is smooth.

Gem from Dallas. He’s been worth every penny so far

I get trying to minimize bullpen usage, not having someone up until there were two on can’t happen

I'm surprised Burdi, Detwiler or Fry weren't warming

Are they doing a bullpen game this weekend? Is that why?

Tomorrow is TBD at the moment

I’m right there with you. 

Ricky survived the outcome, but only he can piss manage what was almost a perfect night.

Pushing Kuechal there was absolutely the right move. That was a little much though.

You need to extend pitchers to build endurance for later. Why not do it with a 9 run lead. There was no reason not to extend his pitch count.

I may be drunk, but whoever said the Sox’s jerseys had a blue tint tonight may have been right

Thank you

Fry should be the guy, throw your worst

Letting DK start the inning at 90 pitches was fine.  But having no one warming just in case is indefensible.

No it wasn't it was reckless and lazy and impotent.

Nobody was warming.  Thats the rub.

You have a TBD and a guy who struggles to throw 5 the rest of the weekend. Avoiding going to the pen was the move.  For sure should have had someone warming and probably yank him before the bases loaded. 
 

but pushing Kuechal as long as you can was the move.

But why?  Why is Collins not PH here????????  He is recklessly stupid and it's going to get guys hurt and lose games.

They made a mound visit so someone could start to get loose just in case. He was going to go somewhere between 110-120 even if he gave up more runs. With that lead it was all about extending him. If it was a closer game there would have been someone up earlier.

As Jose almost gets hit...

Yowza!!!
