Bullpen management, much like infield drills, just isn't something you can practice on a day to day basis.Why in the world would they let Paxton face Chas, who has an OPS against lefties of nearly 1100?

Well fuck, maybe Will’s doom and gloom is justified after all.Man, I understand the Sox aren’t or maybe aren’t playing at what might best be called “extremely mediocre” or “decently schizophrenic” level but my goodness, Will Fleming on WEEI can B & M so much about every sub par play to the point of needing to find other sources to listen to the game (please note, I was typing this and was about to post when Paxton coughed ip the 3 run dinger)

After Sunday's win, he's been in the clubhouse the whole game to respect the streak.Is Cora sleeping?
He didn't charge that ball on the potential double play either. Not sure if he could have pulled off the DP but it looked a little lazy.Paxton should have gloved it, but Urias used too long an arm motion on that throw to 1B.
Yeah, but you watched every episode of "Joey"This game feels like one of those sloppy, back-and-forth type affairs. I know it looks dire but I'm going to stick around awhile and watch the carnage or the glory.

Agreed. Not sure 7 runs wins this game.This game feels like one of those sloppy, back-and-forth type affairs. I know it looks dire but I'm going to stick around awhile and watch the carnage or the glory.
“…and he gets credit for the single, does Duvall.”Here’s my Will Fleming impression:
“The 2-1… and that’s a BASE HIT UP THE MIDDLE. THIS ONE’S GONNA BE CLOSE. THE SECOND BASEMAN HAS IT. HE THROWS TO FIRST.. aAAANND… Wow. Wow! You know, we talk about how important it is for a first baseman to do the little things, and that play really illustrates that point.”
Meanwhile I’m screaming at my fucking radio, “JUST TELL ME IF HE WAS SAFE OR OUT, ASSHOLE!”
it’s so brutal. Who does that appeal to?“…does [player name]” is such a classic Flemingism
I imagine it’s purely bc he just came backStory as the DH is a fail. He isn’t there yet to be counted on with the bat.
It’s because they’re easing him back onto the fieldStory as the DH is a fail. He isn’t there yet to be counted on with the bat.
"Ahem.." - Adam DuvallThe offense blows tonight along with the pitching and defense.
