The 8th inning bullpen this year is beyond asinine worst in mlb easily

Saw that coming a mile away.

Up 4-0, leave 11 on base, breathe life into the Twins, and now we have an early game with a struggling Giolito on the mound.

Giolito will get torched tomorrow

At least the game only last just shy of four hours.  

Im sure this was discussed 1mil X...why did Kopcech throw one inning there?

Yuck.

Would have rather pitched to Kepler, but then you load the bases yada yada yada...

Liam has really struggled to miss bats.

Liam Hendricks has just been bad, straight up. Guy can't be counted on. 

The bullpen has been shit in general. 

Just now, Tony said:

That was 100% self-inflicted. 

Yep it really is. Tony continues to be the biggest threat to the Sox.

This bullpen is a mess and has been all year.

Hendriks blows. 

He looks very Hittable right now.

Bending the knee to the twins tonight. KILLER INSTINCT!!!

Couldn't throw the slider cause of the wet mound and Polanco knew it.

You got it pal and I'll look into that buddy.  Enjoy the game champ you got what you wanted. 

 

What did I want? I wanted to win the game. 

I have more respect for the openly supportive larussa guys than the closeted stans like you. Hilarious you felt the need to tell me to shut up about larussa as if it was degrading peoples fanhoods. Let Dr Phil know your true feelings, maybe you'll feel better.

I thought he didn't look that good. A lot of low fastballs and I don't think he got a lot of swings and misses. He got lucky Donaldson didn't hit the slider he hung to get the third out.

He's only been really good when he's had his really dominant fastball or mixing in breaking pitches with regularity.

He has thrown so many pitches the last 2-3 seasons, you just wonder what he'll have left in the tank in 2022-23.

 

And now the whole TLR/Yermin Mercedes "tete a tete" becomes yet another unneeded distraction for the clubhouse, as well as Stone vs. Moncada.

The Hispanic players are going to rebel against this whole "old school" thing if Abreu decides to turn against TLR.

Never pay for the past performances of a RP.

Guy was overused like crazy, relied on one pitch to dominate and that has to be pinpoint every night. 

Hopefully he gets better but man it's not a good look so far.

Oakland rode him like a rented mule the last couple years. Dude's best days are in the rearview mirror.

Can't get to high on this team. Then this happens.  Good night fellas,  hope giolito gets it going tomorrow. 

Well, gotta drive em in because apparently our BP just can't get it done.

Yet again Hendricks shows he can only get a fast ball in the vicinity... 

 

this isn't the first time thats happened - aint going to work unless you throw over 100....

And that’s how your manager single-handily risks destroying all momentum.  Publicly shame one of your hottest players and then follow it up with poor in-game decision-making that helps cost you a game that would have further buried a key divisional rival.  Oh well, at least Jerry can feel better about his great regrets at least.

What's his excuse the rest of the year...unless I'm mistaken he's been torched on his fastball all year so far

Especially coming from the west coast

Bummer need to stop walking the leadoff batter.
