Offense never puts games away. Bullpen struggles. Rinse. Repeat.

Most of these pitches aren't even competitive. 

If you can't get KC hitters out, you shouldn't be pitching in ML games

Sousa was a much better matchup for their 9-1-2.

Why is he still in

SEND THIS POS back down to the minors so he can regain control in games that don't count in the MLB standings.

What's the definition of insanity again?

Santana is going to walk here

Leaving Kelly in to die again

The stuff is there, he just has no control. You do wonder if his bicep injury is still somewhat affecting him if his control is this bad. 

He's never had good command. He has had one decent season in the strike zone. This is the Joe Kelly experience - obviously he's not this bad, but he's just a guy in the bullpen. He was never the guy.

I thought it couldn't get much worse than Bummer. I was very wrong. 

at least Bummer still gets strikeouts when he's going bad

 

THROW A STRIKE 

Our defensive catcher can’t buy a close call

Sox needed Kelly to be good.  They dont have enough relievers to only pitch him in blowouts… because every game is close.  It is what it is.

i'm getting a sense of deja vu here..

He's been a right handed version of Bummer.  Tons of movement, no idea where it is going.

You aren't going to get a call if you aren't around the plate regularly.

I think you have their handedness mixed up. 

Santana swung like it was a change up.  Can we please get a double play

I'm still baffled that they pinch hit for Perez with Santana. 

What a terrible signing, AND he was injured at the time. Fuck you Hahn/Tony.

Bingo.

For those who keep asking the stupid question on why they keep using him.

Just like Bummer, you have to get this guy right in order for Hahn's Grand Plan to work.
