That was also on pitch 100, So after the first 2 reached he probably would have to throw 115 pitches to get through the 5th.

Its probably a mix of both, TLR is always thinking of 4 games from now and forgets to manage the game thats currently going on

When are we going to worry about the game at hand? And cross the tomorrow bridge when we get there. That’s the exact reason this club is in this position

I also don’t think Foster was up until the guys were on.

The greater surprise is the Sox put up 4 runs so far.

Hopefully the pen doesn't go into mental weakness mode.

I don't think he was trying to save the bullpen. He was trying to give Lance Lynn a chance at a win if he holds them and the Sox score twice.

That's how Tony thinks, and has said as much on many occasions postgame. Same with saving Liam to get a Save.

Outside of Cueto, not too many guys quick to jump up off the bench to give Lynn some love. 

We might have found our mole. 

Lynn? The one and only guy who ever seems to give a rats ass on this team?

Fine, you got your starter to give you 96 pitches but he’s in serious trouble now don’t let this game get away.

TLR is the only person on earth who didn't see an implosion coming. The perks of having a Hall of Famer in the dugout

Hahaha you can’t make this up

It’s what happens when you take it for granted you’re a playoff team.

At least have the guy ready to start the inning so that you don’t bury your starter.

Ok TLR is the worst BUT why do our pitchers run out of gas before a 100 pitches??? 

Can't call up someone from Charlotte for a spot start.  It would look like a Lynn outing.

Lynn has also had trouble after 80 pitches in every start this year. You keep an eye on that and have backup ready in case he struggles. This isn't hard.

 

Foster is a tough dude

Lynn was gassed after that stressful first inning. Getting 4 was all you could of hoped for from him tonight. I'm guessing he talked his way in to being let to go back out. Thats where the Manager has to be in charge and say no your done. 

F TLR. I'm hating him more every game. Just please resign during the break. 

Where the heck did Nolan Jones come from?

For fucks sake how many times is the ball gonna deflect off the pitcher and into right field

Lynn had 2 guys at 0-2 to start the inning. They both got on and scored

Something called a farm system. Sox wouldn’t know about it.

Welcome to baseball in 2022. Only 2 pitchers average more than 100 pitches per start.

The Katz method of trying to throw through a wall and get those Ks.
