Until Middlebrooks learn the strikezone better, pitchers will keep the ball down and away. He swung at the first pitch in like all his PA last night. That's not helping.
It isn't uncommon for relievers to pitch both doubleheaders. They been well rested with Friday off, and again Saturday with Buccholz pitching 8 inning.
Wilson and Mortensen doesn't mess around like Miller.
The Sox shot themselves in the foot tonight. Ciriaco unnecessary throw in the 1st inning. Bases running blunders and total fail with RISP. Wasted yet another good starting pitching performances.
They have not score many runs outside a feast on Tito terrible pitching team.
