The Lakers were playoff contenders?
-
As much as I’ve been calling for another bullpen arm, the Sox bullpen went 11 innings last night and only gave up 2 runs against a very good team. It was an impressive game for a lot of them. Yes they had 2 blown saves. But it never should have come to that. The Sox hitting was completely absent. No bullpen should be required to do what the Sox pen did last night...
-
The bullpen was called on to throw 12 innings last night and did a respectable job. They didn’t go 1 for 13 with RISP or call for stupid sac bunts to get Mookie walked. Despite Johnson sucking, this loss was NOT on the bullpen. The Twins tied it up against Workman, who was having one of the best seasons for a reliever in MLB history, and tied it up again while the bullpen was pitching in their EIGHTH INNING! The hitting was a flop. End of story...
-
The Sox don’t really have a committee. They have a closer who gets the bulk of the opportunities. He is just kind of mediocre and doesn’t get the tougher outings...
-
Right, The Sox need to bump all these guys down a notch...
-
Right. If only the Sox had a legit closer and held him out of the game until the 13th inning!!
-
But his presence cry on the Sox roster should be!!
-
The Twins are a .500 team? They’re like 48-24...
-
Most of those pitchers aren’t all in the pen at once. A little misleading to quibble over the minor league depth and call it the bullpen..,
-
Johnson does suck. Not sure why Dombrowski has this thing for him...
-
1 for 13 with RISP and 14 LOB is not a bullpen issue...
-
Oh good. Brian Johnson...
-
Hey, some of us do have him in fantasy leagues...
-
Try Zoomtext. It has a feature where it will read to you. It’s like talking about the Sox with Stephen Hawking. I have a few visually impaired family members who swear by it.

More of a “pleasant surprise” than a strength. Still getting an arm that pushes Brewer and Brasier one step down the depth chart would be a beneficial thing...
-
NBA contracts do make MLB contracts look paltry in comparison. Beal has 2 years $56mill left. He’s an terrific (albeit limited) player, but in MLB that makes him among the highest paid in league history. In the NBA, he’s the lower paid in his own back court...
-
Not a pitching change per season, but adjusting the rotation so Pete Schourek could pitch game 4 of the 1998 ALDS...
-
And using him is definitely a mixture of brave and crazy...
-
Yeah I’m blessed. One of the better ones. Like saying syphilis is “one of the better” venereal diseases...
-
Why not both? I think the word “brazy” could be appropriate here

I think I deserve some credit for last night. While flipping to get to the game, my remote inadvertently got stuck for 5 seconds on “Out For Justice”...

In correct. Smoltz did finish his career in St. Louis, but it was only in the latter part of 2009 after starting out in Boston that year. And Eck finished with the Red Sox. Of course the answer is the Red Sox. It’s a Red Sox message board...
-
Maybe in the last year of his deal...
-
Little trivia here - what team did both Eckersley and Smoltz pitch for in the last year of their respective careers?
