Ruiz Foster

Banks Sousa

Burr

 

Crazy how good the bullpen suddenly is right now with the exception of Bummer.  And Kelly back to go along with Graveman early this week.

Who gets sent down you think when Kelly comes back? Sousa? Burr?

Benetti will probably spend half of next Sunday talking about Andruw's son...guess we're ready for 2022 draft talk to click into gear.

And the 1996/97 World Series.

Has Ruiz ever gotten a save for us before? TLR really is doing his best to give Boston a shot in this one. 

I think he leads the league in appearances, which might be the reason

Burr tbh. They need Sousa as the 2nd LHP.

The bottom of this lineup is so, so bad.

Injuries forced us in this situation.

I know Ruiz has been good recently but I think I'd prefer a 2nd inning of Foster if Graveman isn't available.

Banks is the 2nd LHP. Sousa is the 3rd.

Not that it really matters…but that 2nd to last pitch clip Mendick’s elbow pad? Thought I saw a small change of direction

How can anyone claim to be with Ruiz from the start?  

I can. Through thick and thin I supported my guy, from the time he switched from position player to pitcher in the minors. 

Ruiz in a high leverage situation....

Giddy up. 

I will say that it was smart of TLR to pitch Foster against the middle of their order vs. Ruiz. I don't really understand limiting Graveman this much if he's not hurt. 

Here we go.

Banks is long relief.

I think Banks is the 2nd LHP at this point though.

Yes.  I think he got one last year.  But I'm pretty sure it was a low leverage.  

Hard to go away from Foster.

Graveman and Hendriks (obviously) have to be unavailable.

Of course lol

Yeah this is why Ruiz is a bad idea. 

grooved it

Wasn't he a catcher?

fuckity fuck fuck fuck 

That's not auspicious.

He absolutely grooved one right down the pipe to Martinez.

Ruiz thrives under pressure. He's got this.
