5/2 at Toronto

[RedSoxNC84]

Hanrahan up, I thought Bailey was to remain closer?

[Station 13]

Not sure where you're watching from, but Hanrahan is warming.

 

I hope there is a detail explanation behind it.

Wouldn't Bailey set up if he isn't closing? Maybe he's hurt.

Right. Why isn't it Bailey?

[jung]

Maybe Farrell decided to save Bailey for Texas. Eventually I thought we would see them start to give a few 9th innings to Hanrahan...just did not expect it yet. Two run lead might have prompted Farrell to try to save Bailey for tomorrow night especially with the long flight tonight.

I hope there is a detail explanation behind it.

 

like we feel sorry for Toronto and feel they deserve a win

No no no no no no no no

Dude can't buy a strike.

[jung]

Bailey not looking like he is going anywhere tonight. So now that is worrisome.

[jung]

AAAAAAnd another flat FB from Hanrahan.

[RedSoxNC84]

Rasmus is making contact tonight? This is unheard of.

[crazydiamond]

Hanrahan is our closer, Bailey was just replacing him while he was on the DL, so no surprise there.

 

That will change if he keeps up being an ass, obviously.

[WMB16]

this is just not cool....especially if Bailey is hurt

[User Name]

I am going to murder Andrew Miller in his sleep for the good of the Red Sox.

 

And Hanrahan

[RedSoxNC84]

Throw a goddamn strike

[jung]

But it was announced that Bailey would close and Hanrahan was fine with it. So I am really struggling with this. I suppose the rationalization I posted above is possible but I am more inclined to think something is wrong with Bailey.

Nothing but fastballs a la Papelbon circa 2009.

[RedSoxNC84]

Hanrahan's 100th save.. That's why he was in instead of Bailey.

[crazydiamond]

...and the Red Sox win!

Hopefully, it is the former not the latter.

[User Name]

Well s***, my apologies sir Hanrahan

[BornToRun]

Well, that worked out okay.

[kapsis21]

Woot

[italstallianion]

Can't argue with results. Now we have a big test ahead of us with Texas.

[Bellhorn04]

Sox beat writers Abraham & Finn also wondering what's up with Bailey.

[jung]

Well OK I suppose that one is possible as well (100th save) but now Bailey has only worked once in the last seven days....not exactly how you would like him for a tight save opportunity in Texas tomorrow night. So we have Taz and Ueh going to the department store to buy shirts with longer arms as they are starting to drag a little and Bailey hasn't worked but once in seven days.

No, Bailey must have a health issue of some kind. Hopefully a minor and temporary one. I'm pretty sure we'll know by tomorrow what it is.

[jung]

Farrell is bound to be asked in his presser. So we should know something momentarily. I think health issue, hopefully minor.

[jung]

What the hell....is there a sale somewhere on balky biceps? That is the announcement on Bailey.

[Palodios]

I completely forgot that the only run Toronto scored today was the leadoff homer by Lawrie.
