Diekman and Graveman being used in any game that matters, is no bueno.

nearly 40% of our bullpen is a dumpster lit on fire.  team isnt gonna do s%*# this year because Hahn doesn't know how to assemble an MLB bullpen.  which we've all known for about 8 years now.  Crochet and Hendriks health issues compounded the issue even further.

I mean it’s not so much that we lost, it’s game 2 after all, but how can you use Diekman in a high leverage situation? That’s just bad management. 

Currently on pace to go 81-81.

Throw strikes to Maldonado and this game is over. Eff this team.

Shades of last year.  TLR spirit still lives in the dugout.  Exorcism please.

come on, you're not serious

WBC opposition was largely AAA/AAAA caliber outside of maybe 3 teams.

He looked good against the good teams though

Let's put up a snowman in the top of the ninth and take our chances with the pen.

Too bad we don’t have Crochet available.  We don’t have a quality lefty reliever.

Banks was solid last year. Is he injured or something?

They ran out of money when there were a few solid options still available.  The fact they traded for Diekman when he was owed money this year is just insane.

Still better than Diekman.

Hate-watching the Sox is quite cathartic I will say, everyone gets to see how overmatched this team is when they don't have the best pitcher in the AL on the mound

Why wouldn’t he take a strike three runs down?

Pedro not exactly showing Sox fans much tonight with in game moves starting with leaving Lynn in too long and then bullpen management fiasco.

I like the theory he forgot to wear contacts tonight. He didn’t take a good swing all game.

Six teams were MLB caliber :USA, Japan, DR, PR , Mexico and Venezuela IMO.

Okay Tim.  Now let's score some runs.  A lot of runs.

Worst move was to bring Diekman in.

Ooo, bad call
