8/16 @ NatsTown!

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.
Why is Martin not in this game here? Cora refuses to use Martin back to back days and it’s annoying as hell
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?
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.
Lets see if he can get Chavis out. Normally you just throw the ball to the catcher and it happens.
Whitlock was just unhittable on Sunday. This is a shock to everyone on that coaching staff right now, I’m sure.
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.
How does one Martin and Jansen? Is that like code for weed. Like Mary Jane?
Like, let’s go behind the dumpsters and do some Martin and Jansen after the game.
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.
This. For heaven's sake, if you can't trust him to pitch against the Nats, why is he back on the roster?
Exactly. This seemed like a perfect time to use him, given the bullpen usage last night
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.
I know you don’t ever plan on good relievers getting shelled but it always looks bad when you pull a starter a little early and give extra chances for a different pitcher who may or may not have it that night.
I don’t blame Cora for this one per se, just how it goes sometimes. It feels worse because the offense was so shit all night then suddenly tied it.

He pitched 2 innings the other night, how many games is he supposed to hold him back?
Has a guy ever warmed up in the pen and then been told to sit down because his stuff didn’t look good?
