I'd like to see Sandlin get a shot this series at some point. Replicating Taylor's 4 inning beauty against the same team a couple days later seems doubtful.

Love me some Sandlin, but lefties have an .821 OPS against him. He dominates righties but gets hit hard by lefties. I'd be nervous using him against the Guardians for multiple innings.

What about Fedde

Kay/Burke/Newcomb/Fedde

That's the combo I'd look for tomorrow.

If the Sox can win Game 2 without burning Hagen and Taylor, that's a massive advantage heading into game 3.

Fedde has reverse splits. .699 OPS against lefties, .808 against righties.

Give Fedde some burn!

Kay(2)-Burke(5)-Hagen(1)-Taylor(1)

That would be pretty ideal

Fedde coming in and ripping 99 for an inning would also be okay.

I think the play is to rest Hagen and Taylor so they can run back the Game 1 plan on Game 3. Fedde and Newcomb can fill those roles in Game 2.

It's funny how a happy, young team will mean everything to everyone.

highly doubt it. they clearly have zero trust in him right now. he's the mopup guy at this point.

He had one bad start. Will has said they are being uber cautious with him due to the calf injury.

One of the journalists criticizing the Red Sox the other day said that the Red Sox are no longer on the cutting edge of analytics due to overlooking things like happiness and chemistry. Believe it or not, these intangibles are starting to make their way into the study of advanced analytics. White Sox, Rays, and Brewers have been in the cutting edge of this stuff in recent years when it comes to looking at these intangibles through metrics and analytics.
