Now Jennings is giving hits up. There is no way this game can end with the Sox in the W column. Just has that inevitable feeling.

All you have to do is watch our bullpen to know why the Sox tried to extend Latos another inning.

Robin just *had* to pitch to Desmond there, huh?

The mistake was having a dead Latos throwing a horrendous start to begin the inning, not pitching to Desmond of the 105 wRC+ as opposed to Mazara of the 122 wRC+

Jeez Mazara all over that. Doesn't seem like our relievers are throwing enough pitches up in the zone to change eye level

 

Jennings walks the tightrope every time but somehow manages to get out of it most of the time.

Desmond is hitting nearly .500 against us

Well there's that...

Jennings is also tougher vs righties.

Desmond plays like he's mad at the Sox for not signing him.

 

The pen has been atrocious this series. 3 leads blown yesterday and 3 so far today already.

The pen just blew this one lead and it was on a bloop hit after the guy came in with a man on 3rd.

Huh is right, what are you talking about

With a LHH on deck, I'm not sure why you don't pitch around Desmond. Sure, Mazara ended up getting a hit, but it's not the same scenario.

How many 2 strike hits can we allow this series. Would a high fastball kill this team?

Just plunk him next time and get it over with.

Robin's bullpen usage has been piss poor the last 2 nights

I am so damn tired of this series.

They get to leave that place in an hour so that's good.

Zach Putnam has pitched 1 inning in the last 5 days, with the Sox leading by 4 runs in the 12th. Where has he been in the various high-leverage situations we've had?

Wow the pen has been f***ing awful this series

Blown lead for the 20th time this series.

Putnam, Jones, Robertson.....not that difficult, Robin/Coop.

I'm ready for this team to get out of Texas.

Completely disagree about last night.

because the guy on the mound is tougher vs righties and the guy on deck is a better hitter. But other than that, who knows

So glad we don't have to face this team again

So has the pitching outside of Gonzalez

Bullpen usage tends to suck when everyone you put in craps the bed. Would love to see your master plan.

Watch the Sox score 2 in this inning and then give up 5 in the 8th.
