Kay designated to bullpen?

With how hard he throws, maybe he ramps up to 98-100 in short bursts

Hudson starting to wear down, Fedde likely the third guy now

I don’t get upset when they go to Hagen. Right or wrong, they’re treating him like 2016 Andrew Miller.

It take stress off of Taylor as well. He can focus on closing more.

It's probably a bullpen session. He didn't get a chance pre game to do so because of the conditions.

We just blew a 6 run lead to these guys on Friday. We still have way too many innings to cover to test and see if Brazoban no longer sucks.

It's cold and miserable.

Nah, all hands on deck. Probably means he won’t pitch more than a few innings next week.

I think this game is safe enough being 6-0 right now to not worry about that at this point

Brazoban gave up a HR in his final rehab outing

Fortunately the wind is blowing in and we have a six run lead.

Or he’s just getting in between starts work

Theres that Bored on a long weather delayed day at park

A win here pretty much puts the Sox in as at least a wildcard even with like a 2-4 finish.

Charlotte is a bandbox too

Made Jacob Gonzalez look good

Can argue with the results so far. You think they make him a starter again next season?

Richards up in the pen now. That’s more like it

Ugh Richards.....score more

Astros would need 5-1 then

They will try…I don’t think he has the command to excel at it

Brazoban was acquired to be a high leverage right handed reliever . He was excellent with the Mets.

Brezoban delivered in the 6 th. Can he go another inning?

Not true as they have tiebreak on Sox

“Vargas Save Our Marriage” sign. Get the cuck chair out again…

I hope for their marriage he goes deep

That seems unlikely even with an easy schedule

He will later.

Richards has a 3.45 ERA despite constantly being left out to die with no/minimal rest. Underlying metrics are consistent with the ERA too. I know it doesn't look amazing but at some point you have to just say this guy is probably an acceptable major league pitcher

5-1. Ain't happening. They have losing records to to the two teams they are facing. Sox know what winnning this game means.

Just 5-1

Let’s try not to go 2-4 then

That would be agonizing
