Brilliant, Jacob 

[LookitsPuck]

This is the issue with rotating arms so quickly. You're assuming that the next guy will be sharp and do his job.

Jacob Webb == not good

At least we don’t have a dominant closer to leave on the bench this go around.

Say what you want about Duquette. He was able to put together a championship level team that won playoff games. Before they took away his power, he knew how to put a team together that could compete.

You can't have a team that is all prospects/young players and a few castoffs. That's not how you build a championship team! You have to have some A-list veterans who have been there done that. The team is lost without any leaders.

Can Drew French be our hitting coach, too?

I'll take Mr. French at this stage.

what is Joe Maddon or Terry Francona  doing 

[allquixotic]

Why did we pull Coulombe after 3 batters? He's probably the second best pitcher available after Eflin.

[ChuckS]

The analytics are what they are, but I don’t see how matching up in the fifth inning could possibly be a good idea with how bad this bullpen is….and pulling your best bullpen arm (Coloumbe) after 3 batters.

That's one way to deal with Perez

Eflin is better than most of our bullpen arms, matchups be damned. 

No doubt. I think it's more the third time through. And it's not like Eflin was dominating

Jacob Webb, last year's playoff answer.

Yea I agree. We need more negative cry babies.

As a negative cry baby, I’d love to hear your or anyone’s positive spin on this ahit show offense.

Perez not backing away from a pitch inside, gets on base for his team.

Mounty tries not to swing at a pitch heading for his dick and gets out of the way in time.
