Daily reminder we traded Wade Miley for an Injured Reserve player
Daily reminder Wade Miley is 5-2 and has a better ERA than Price, Kelly, Bucholz,
Daily reminder we traded John Lackey for Joe Kelly and Allen Craig
John Lackey is 5-2 with a 3.16 ERA

You're assuming:
>the Red Sox had/have no chance to win this game already
>the pitchers will pitch well enough to hold a close lead, but NOT well enough for Porcello to eat up a bunch of innings
At least the Yankees are shit this season amirite?
Fuck! The Os have a pitcher named zero day? He WILL find your vulns!
Do other mlb teams even have threads against non-bosox teams?
If CLAY doesn't get out of this inning with a goose egg, I want John IMMEDIATELY fired after the game.
>>68034073

This game is a rollercoaster of frustration.
Well this game is over.
>>68034345
Guess he can't run, tho.
>>68034371
Nah, he's slow as fuck, and he doesn't judge fly balls too well either.
But he hits dingers and has a good arm. Valuable player.

I apologize for giving any hope for lost souls
fucking kill myself my man
who is david talking to????
Do NOT blame the fucking ump for this game.
It's literally not his fault our pitchers are so fucking shit that he's having trouble concentrating on what IS and ISNT a strike with all these fucking pitches thrown everywhere.
This game falls SQUARELY on the shoulders of John Farrell.
1. Left Kelly in for too fucking long, then brought in Layne with runners inherited
2. Left Buttholez in for too long
The main damage of runs came from those two.
And it could have been mitigated by at least 3-4 runs had John acted properly and promptly.
>Wieters SB attempt
Isn't he 1-for-1 so far this year?
The absolute madman.
If you win some, lose some it's all the same to me. The only card I need is the Ace of Spades

And the game isn't over.
>>68034712
We still have 1 more game
>>68034712
But we play again tomorrow
With our own Cy Young
>>68034733
Oh it's over. It's over.
>>68034492
Eh. It's only partly on Farrell.
He definitely left Kelly in too long. Buchholz wasn't great, but he doesn't give up the two runs in the 6th if not for Pedey's error, so I understand why he brought him back for the 7th. Going to Barnes instead of Ross was probably a mistake, too, though.
Part of it is also on Dombrowski for sending Hembree down for ERod instead of Barnes. We could have really used Hembree tonight.
The ump can still get bent. He's statistically one of the three worst umps in MLB.
>Ryan Flaherty won't learn to hit in your lifetime
>>68034674
He might've eaten a manlet but that doesn't turn him into one
>this boxscore
>>68034758
Hembree was terrible in the month of May, and Barnes the opposite, so I understood that part.
And this game is still SQUARELY on John's shoulders.
if he fucking managed the bullpen better we wouldn't have needed to worry about this as much
instead he leaves both Joe and Clay in for too fucking long and we end up paying for it dearly in what essentially made the difference (4 fucking inherited runs scored, tell me what's the difference in the score right now? Then realize Clay allowed 2 other runs)

Time for a Brittonia 4-out save again
literally DFA this retard when
I'm so glad Farrell decided to make the worst pitcher in baseball a reliever instead of sending him to the minors. Would be a shame if this were a one run game right now
>>68035280
me the retard
>>68035311
But the worst pitcher in baseball IS in the minors
>>68035349
Actually, he's everyone in this thread
>>68035349
Joe Kelly and Clay Buttholez are both worse than Matusz
>>68035349
well ACTUALLY I think Kelly might have the worst ERA in baseball now, of course I was talking about Buttholez
So many terrible pitchers, hard to keep track of them all

>>68035380
Matusz had a 5 or 6 ER in a double AA start earlier this season.
If he started like he aspires to at this level he'd be worse than Buccholz and Kelly.
At least he's Atlanta's problem now.
>>68035537

Barnes has been one of your better bullpen guys over the last month.
You see what he did right there? He went 3 up, 3 down.
Because he had a clean inning to start fresh on without inherited runners.
You don't fucking use him as much as possible when he's on a streak of good relief outings.
Fuck right off. If you want someone to waste you use Buchholz in situations like that
NOT THE FUCKING OTHER WAY AROUND

You'll both have to show me where I said to use Buchholz instead
>>68035776
>>68035789
I think they were so shell-shocked by how bad Kelly was that Clay giving up 4 runs in 3 innings didn't seem like it was "bad"
>>68035778
gotta keep that streak alive
>Sox get 5 dingers
>still lose
Holy shit this pitching is atrocious
>>68035703
I hope you know you're freaking out over 1 2/3 of work for a middle reliever that needed to get some work in
Chill the fuck out
>>68035814
The point is that you don't """"waste""" a bullpen arm that's actually given you quality innings this year because you're piece of shit that you moved to the bullpen to do mop up innings blew the game.
You use Barnes in the 1-run games and waste Buttholez in the blowouts.
John did the fucking opposite tonight, yet you thought it was good to continue using Barnes and waste him.
So come a 1-run game tomorrow or friday and he's unavailable, well then good job John.
>>68035778
I have a great family doc.
Been our friend as well as D.O. for almost 20 years.
Yesterday he says I have to get more rest ... I'm getting old(er) and the body needs more time. He didn't realize I get up at 2 AM every week day while going to bed about 9:30 PM (as long as the Sox don't play later). My BP is getting higher and more rest is a requirement.
He said this in front of my most excellent wife.
The only place to pick up more sleep is ...
I think it's a conspiracy for the ages.
I guess I had better listen. Dad and Grandad both had the same heart issues. And I am a year older than when Dad had his first pacemaker. I haven't had heart issues yet but ...
I am not going away absolutely but I am going to be .... if I can take it ... less involved.
I'll be around. I'll see less of the Sox play .... but I'll be around. Weekends especially.
Keep Honking ...
I'm reloading ... (borrowed from a local bumper sticker)

GG Eternal 4th Placers, meme game
Hopefully U-bad-O gives us more memes tomorrow.
Fuck you Farrell. Fuck you Kelly. Fuck you Clay.
All hail Britton
>>68035877
Barnes needed to get worked, the game was already blown out by the time he came in. Having him record 5 outs is not a big deal whatsoever ESPECIALLY if he is supposed to be a middle reliever
Once he is in for 2/3 of an inning you don't go to your bullpen and waste ANOTHER arm on a shit game that you are inevitably going to lose
Again, you and baseball IQ, not so much
>>68035924
>how did we lose this fucking game
the same way we lose every other game
bad pitching
>>68035952
>the game was already blown out by the time he came in
No it wasn't?
>Having him record 5 outs is not a big deal
IT IS WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE BULLPEN ARMS TO SPARE IN OTHER GAMES
YOU FUCKING RETARD
>Once he is in for 2/3 of an inning you don't go to your bullpen and waste ANOTHER arm on a shit game that you are inevitably going to lose
They had Rutledge warming up FOR THAT EXACT REASON YOU UTTER BUFFOON
>>68035990
Again, 5 outs vs 2 is absolutely nothing. Barnes could go back out there tomorrow with no issue when he is expected to throw between 1 and 3 innings of work every time he goes out there
>>68036088
And you say I have bad baseball IQ?
>>68035990
>Who is Hembree
>Who is Taz
>Who is Ross
They had plenty left
>>68036125
Hembree got Optioned.
Taz and Ross. Wew.
Now what happens if Porcello only goes 3 innings tomorrow smart-ass?
haha stay mad sox fans
>>68036112
Oh I'm sorry, you must be from the baseball academy where you aren't allowed to use relief pitchers on back to back days
>>68036167
You don't use a fucking relief pitcher on back to back days if you double his fucking usage the day before.
And if you do? He gets fucking blasted and then you've just worn down your reliever extra fast.
Well done, John.
>>68036149
Well that's called shit luck that you can't and shouldn't have to plan for
What if the world ends tomorrow?
>>68036199
>shit luck
See this is just retarded.
It's called forecasting, and taking in all possible scenarios, even the worst case.
And John never fucking does that because he's retarded.
>>68036195
I would seriously like to know how many years you have been watching baseball, because even if you are a bandwagon faggot which I'm sure you are then you would know that Koji would be used 3 days in a row in '13
>>68036248
KOJI ONLY FUCKING CLOSED IN 2013
AND HE BROKE HIS CAREER HIGH FOR USAGE THAT YEAR
WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HIM THE PAST TWO YEARS?
OH YEAH, THE OVERWORKING ON HIM HAS HAD NOTICEABLE EFFECT
fuck off John you retard
>>68036227
>WHAT IF ALL YOUR SP GET BTFOED IN A ROW ANON!
Seriously, it's a dumb question and any manager in the press confrence after would give a response like, "Well you try to plan for everything, but baseball likes to throw you curveballs sometimes."
Really man?
>>68036248
>>68036279
>using a reliever is the same as using a closer
I mean really.
>>68036299
Um.
You know that our pitching staff sucks.
You can expect your pitching staff to suck.
It's not. Fucking. Rocket Science.
>>68036279
>Koji was bad in '14 and '15
Nigger what are you even talking about
>>68036327
Are you fucking dumb? Are you just putting words in my mouth?
Koji is not the same he was in 2013.
Not even close.
His usage has had to be dropped dramatically, and he's had a string of injuries popping up since that year.
You overuse your pitchers, they have consequences.
>>68036350
Hate to break it to you, but no one can keep a ~1 ERA, him dropping back to 2 and 2.5 was just regressing back to the mean not OMG STOP OVERWORKING HIM!
They are called "career years"
>Kelly already optioned to Pawtucket
So whose coming up for him?
>>68036395
Ok well you're no longer even worth responding to.
>no one can keep a ~1 ERA
It's like you don't know what a closer is.
>>68036322
You're freaking out over 5 outs vs two, you're the one treating him like a closer. Middle relief needs to be able to cover more than one inning
>>68036420
Hembree probably
also the guy arguing to not try to win a close game against your biggest divisional competition is a retard
>>68036422
Yeah, the MLB is just filthy with ~1 ERA closers
You've gotta be kidding me man
>>68036445
That's not even the fucking point.
I'm fraking out because you hamstring yourself when you need to use a middle reliever in a game in the next day or two, but he's unavailable because you worked him extra last time and you don't want to wear him down quickly.
You talk about him as if he's a fucking robot. These people wear down. Every out they're out there for. If you overuse him in a short span, don't be fucking shocked if he starts to get shelled because he hasn't had proper rest.
But they just recalled Noe Ramirez, so perhaps John knew this ahead of time.
Doesn't bother me as much.
>>68036490
Do you know who closed out the game tonight against the Red Sox?
>>68036499
The dude is 25, you can use him on back to back days ESPECIALLY when his last game was
FOUR
FUCKING
DAYS
AGO
Christ on a stick just shut the fuck up already, you really have no fucking idea how to handle a bullpen
>>68036529
>Zach Britton has an ERA kinda close to 1 so that means it's common
You're just a stupid person
>>68036544
>four fucking days ago
And that bears relevance to using him in games AFTER TONIGHT in the next two days after you overworked him TONIGHT how?
Dipshit.
>>68036579
>one start sidelines him for 2 days
That sentence alone just proves my point. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about
>>68036570
2/3 of the league have closers with ERA around 2 or under.
Koji's not even fucking close to that anymore.
>>68036610
Holy shit, one start WILL SIDELINE HIM FOR AT LEAST A DAY, IF NOT TWO (BECAUSE YOU OVERWORKED HIM)
Honestly, how long have you been watching baseball? 5 Days?
>>68036610
Hey why don't you think they used Koji or Kimbrel tonight?
Because they weren't available.
>>68036686
I'm pretty sure they didn't use them because they were down by 4 runs you fucking retard, good job
Ggs what a game guys
Priceless to have been there in person
GO ORIOLES
>>68036646
Again, 1 2/3 innings is not "overworking" a middle reliever, so you're wrong there, and really, you must be a kid considering you are so insecure about my insult about the amount of time you have been watching baseball that you have now used it against me
Be honest, how many years? I'm guessing less than 5 if you think middle relievers can't and don't pitch back to back days
