Ready for the "why not Bummer" folks  who crucified LaRussa last week to come and say "why bring in bummer."

This is case and point why I can't blame LaRussa on anything having to to do with this shitty pen.

If it wasn't for 2 innings against the Twins we wouldn't have done much of anything against them. The offense is just incredibly inconsistent and not cashing in enough when we get opportunities. 

and that's with Timmy, Yoan and Abreu performing well

Throw strikes. Geese. 

the bullpen is an embarrassment 

This Bummer contract is looking really good

well aaron, you're making the decision on what to do with the rest of my friday night pretty easy 

Welp bullpen is gonna piss this one away. 

Sox couldn't make it more obvious that big upgrades are needed over the next week.  Main 8th inning reliever is so necessary.

Probably doesn't matter when they get shutout. 

Send him to AAA

Bummer has been bad all year

Yep, two straight games where the offense looked tired and lacked focus.  They need upgrades if they want to compete with the top teams.

Basically every reliever in AAA has been horrible.

Why is he still pitching in this inning?

Why is Bummer still pitching?!

The new bullpen arm we trade for. Like I said previously, trade for 2 bullpen arms and those two, Liam, Kopech, and maybe Crochet if he is allowed to ramp up the fastball. Everyone else can get lost in AAA until they figure themselves out. 

Avi looks a lot different than I remember. Or do I just have a bad memory. His face looks different - maybe less soft - can’t put my finger on it.
