While I agree that the bullpen didn't look very good because of all of the baserunners, they still worked themselves out of the jams and didn't allow a run, and if Punto catches that easy pop up, the bullpen doesn't look nearly as bad because they get out of a 1st and 2nd jam, not a bases loaded jam. Deceiving? Sure. But count your lucky stars that this performance wasn't against a better hitting team. Fortunate that this was against the lowly A's offense. Either way - the pen got the job done, ugly as it was, and didn't allow a run, so I'm not sure you can say the lead wasn't "bullpen proof" because once the SP left, no more runs were scored.
And when it's IL, Ortiz plays 1st, Gonzo plays RF. Bobby was already prepping for that in ST.
