Last night on the pregame with Joe and Jerry, Tito mentioned how DiNardo would be out in the pen in case he was needed to come in . ( Read if Clement got lit up early). The plan was if he had to call Lenny in, a roster move would be made for todays start.
Sounded good. I guess. Anyhoo. the next question from Trupe was about how managing a pitching staff is really the most taxing part of being a manager in the bigs, Tito agreed.
So cue that glorious game footage..
Tito lets Clement go... for a very average start then he brings in Timlin and Papplebon, with the Sox down. Now if Lenny getss lit up today or by a miracle of God the Sox score some runs to give them a slim lead whats the game plan for the pen, Tito?
This could be a vicious cycle, this pen may just be burnt toast by the end of May.
And then will we still get a roster move Tito?
Thoughts?
