I think the 15 pitchers for the month of April will lessen the "burnout" factor, especially since Cora is using them all. Only the use of Whitlock concerns me, as this is pretty much uncharted territory since Bob Stanley.
Like Bobby V is someone anyone should listen to.
Blind squirrel on this one.
Bard wanted to start, badly. It's as much on him as Sox management, things went south so quickly.
I remember during the pre-Henry days, we'd lose a lot of games where we outhit the opponents by 4 or more hits.
It's nice to see us pull one out while being outhit 8 to 3.
(And, no taters tots were needed.)
We've heard some criticism of Cora's pen moves over the first 11 games, but to me, the guy works wonders with these guys.
Our pen has saved our asses, thus far.
1. Nomar had the best 4 year stretch since yaz.
2. The Sox were playing in Toronto, tonight.
I could look back and find more, if you wish.
I know it's nit-picking, but I felt since that's your favorite pastime, maybe you'd like this.
They need a back-up catcher, and maybe they just like RHern better than Wong, at this point in time.
I'm not sure calling up RHern has any deeper meaning.
MVP has been slipping, of late.
