Oakland too.It’s going to be the games against Pittsburg, St Louis and Washington that cost them in the end.
If you’re going to be throwing 92 middle of the plate to MLB hitters, it really doesn’t matter the situation.In retrospect, probably should have eased Whitlock back with some lower leverage appearances.
You really want to blame the manager for this one? Guys been dependable out of the the pen anytime he’s been used out of there. What was he supposed to do?Cora puts a guy just off the IL into a super tight game. Maroon.
This murdered me.That would be out in some national parks.
I’m sure it was, what were the other options? You guys would’ve been losing your minds if they put in someone other than Chris Martin who can’t pitch every night.Whitlock’s stuff is dreadful. How was this not apparent in his rehab outings and bullpens?
Was good the first year,but last 2 very mediocre.Uh, Whitlock?
Certainly doesn't look like he's loose. Hoping it's a dead arm phase. On the thread on the main board earlier in the season, DRS was not very sanguine about his elbow issue healing despite the "good news" reports from the Sox.Whitlock must be hurt again
How does one Martin and Jansen? Is that like code for weed. Like Mary Jane?Well, at least we can Martin and Jansen for tomorrow.
I’m saying he probably should still be on the IL if he’s going to sit 92 coming out of the bullpen. I tend to agree that if he’s on the roster, like for tonight’s game, they have to use him.I’m sure it was, what were the other options? You guys would’ve been losing your minds if they put in someone other than Chris Martin who can’t pitch every night.
This. For heaven's sake, if you can't trust him to pitch against the Nats, why is he back on the roster?You really want to blame the manager for this one? Guys been dependable out of the the pen anytime he’s been used out of there. What was he supposed to do?
Exactly. This seemed like a perfect time to use him, given the bullpen usage last nightWhitlock was just unhittable on Sunday. This is a shock to everyone on that coaching staff right now, I’m sure.
Were you watching the Red Sox baseball game on Sunday?Whitlock’s stuff is dreadful. How was this not apparent in his rehab outings and bullpens?
He warmed up in the pen though.Whitlock was just unhittable on Sunday. This is a shock to everyone on that coaching staff right now, I’m sure.
This, tooThis. For heaven's sake, if you can't trust him to pitch against the Nats, why is he back on the roster?
Put him into some lower leverage games to begin with. Granted, he would have to have used one or two of the relievers that pitched last night and maybe he didn't want to do that.You really want to blame the manager for this one?

He pitched 2 innings the other night, how many games is he supposed to hold him back?Put him into some lower leverage games to begin with. Granted, he would have to have used one or two of the relievers that pitched last night and maybe he didn't want to do that.
