This offense is without a doubt awful right now.  However if this bullpen was anywhere close to being as advertised preseason, the Sox would currently be up 5 games minimum on Cleveland.

Oh, like the missing 101 mph fastball?

Idk if that is coming back, I think he can get to 99 but that's about it. I think he will settle in the mid to high 90s. I think the only reason he was able to throw 102 last year was because his arm was so fresh. He wasn’t being used in game situations regularly until he got called up in September.

Tampa Bay lost 7 in a row.

That was fugly. Had a chance to turn this little losing streak around. Come back strong tomorrow and @CaliSoxFanViaSWside - I was wrong.

If they had some doubt about Crochet reliability, they should not have brought him in on a game situation when he had to face at least three batters. Go with more veteran Bummer.

Bummer just as effective as Crochet. 

I Take my chances with The more experienced Bummer in a game situation and not with a rookie.
