Lester should have thrown another inning. .

 

With 97 pitches on his arm and a then 6 run lead? Nah, we've gotta get this guy into top form for the playoffs, I don't want him pushed in September. July is the time for long-innings heroics, I don't mind Tito pulling in Lester's horns right now.

Without the benefit of hindsight' date=' counting on Okajima for the 8th inning is not an insane decision. He should have gotten him out earlier, but based on the conversation he had with Farrell it might just be that no one was warm by the time it was obvious he needed to make a move. Oki fell apart pretty quickly.[/quote']

 

Good point. Nobody ever takes into account if a reliever is ready to go or not and just bitch about the manager leaving a guy in too long.

I wouldn't be so sure that he goes with him for 2. If he can get out of this inning with a lead he might use Bard to close it out.

 

I really doubt he throws Bard in to close against the Rays, especially not with a pennant race going on, no rookie needs to be in that situation if it can be avoided.

I just checked StubHub and 115 is the cheapest. I'm not going to buy them for a while, I'll be monitoring StubHub for the best value, and if I don't get tickets in the raffle I'll go for it.

 

 

 

Where was the typo? This must be rectified!

 

Sorry, I don't have the patience nor the skill to look back.

 

Buy the f***ing ticket and don't have any regrets.

 

Don't you have school in the morning?

Yeah so you leave him in even after it's clear he has nothing?

 

Are you Francona's son, sport?

If I have the choice of leaving in a pitcher that is sucking or inserting a pitcher that isn't fully warmed and risking injury to that pitcher, I leave in the s***** pitcher.

Bard was warming previously, champ.
