McClanahan has made some mistakes too; his stuff is good enough to get away with them more often than Whitlock can. He’s a perennial Cy Young candidate; Whitlock is not and probably never will be. Garrett’s value is as a reliever. He’s a #4-5 starter.

1) You are making the assumption that both would have developed the same way with the Sox. What about any recent Sox pitcher would indicate that would have happened?
2) Beeks was traded for Eovaldi in 2018; you really want to say he was given away?
Possibly they need swelling to go down to see what the actual injury is. Maybe an MRI is required. Might want multiple opinions.

Radio guys ripping on the defense this inning. They have criticized Casas for his decision, Raffy for not cutting the ball off and Wong for not even bothering to go get the throw.
Also are still questioning removing Kluber.
Gee, they’re falling off of .368? What a shock.
