For the heck of it, I just went through and read this whole thread and I have to say, while Bard wasn't great and Francona may have pulled Buck a early (in hindsight, probably a batter or two early)... I'm not sure you can hang it on that. With the lineup of hitters the Red Sox have, 2 runs nursing a one run lead the way your starter threw the ball tonight is what killed the game for you guys. Honestly, the Sox really looked like a team playing to let the rain end the game early and take a one run early ending game to the clubhouse. Here is something that should be painfully obvious this year... no team can afford to leave the Guardians in the game late. Especially not at home this year. As far as pulling the starter... I, as a tribe fan, was upset when they pulled him because it looked like the Indian hitters finally had him timed. As it turned out, I was ok with the resulting replacement. BTW, Bard wasn't bad. The pitches the Guardians hit were not bad pitches at all. The first run was on a absolute handcuffed base hit, and Asdrubal is hitting everyone like they are throwing beach balls not baseballs lately, That's not Bard's fault. Take it how you will. P.S., Hey suns... Shut up and go home, you look like a doofus.
