Hendriks now to IL with Right Forearm Strain

Hopefully its not long term.  Get him healthy and get him back!

We have a short term solution on Graveman.  If Joe Kelly is back then that is your setup guy.  Get Bummer healthy as the 7th inning guy.  You can also add bullpen pieces.

You do realize that Sousa was also warming up, right?  

Instead he went with Hendriks with 5 run lead to save Sousa for a high leverage spot on Saturday, which he failed, and the Sox lost.  

Give me a fucking break.  He brings in Sousa after warming Hendriks and we have another Tanner Banks Indians meltdown you'd be the first one bitching on why Hendriks wasn't used.

Please.

Glad he pitched that meaningless inning on Friday.  We now get to keep living this bullpen disaster indefinitely.  Hooray.

This is fucking stupid. Tony is reaching Trump levels where people want to blame him for literally everything.

You realize he was 100% warmed up, right? With already a bullpen running on fumes there was no point to burn another arm in that situation. 

So instead of 'burning out' one of the other relievers you burn out your star closer.

That's what is commonly done when the closer is ready to go. Otherwise he may not be available the next day anyway.

If your closer warms up 100%, he is being used.  It's that simple.  Especially after the Indians fiasco just a few weeks back. 

 

The Indians fiasco can't be used as an excuse to always pitch your closer no matter what the lead. If you are seriously saying that Hendricks was the only reliever capable of defending a 5 run lead then we are in more trouble than I thought.

The point is should the closer have been the one 'ready to go' in that situation.

That would be sensible time to use the worst reliever in your pen, instead of high leverage 1-2 run lead spots that TLR loves to deploy Sousa.  At least he's Charlotte's problem for now.

You clearly didn't watch the game. 

It was a tied game in the 8th inning and the Sox score all their runs with two outs.  

Hendriks was warmed and ready regardless of the outcome of that inning.

Not sure how Hendriks' injury is La Russa's fault.

 

It's a lynch mob at this point. 

I truly hope he gets canned to see who these fans go after next.   It was Leury to start the season but then if shifted to LaRussa,   Interesting to see who's next because this team will continue to lose if it doesn't get healthy and Moncada and Grandal suck all the way to the end.
