Matt Barnes cannot be this team’s 8th inning guy if they want to win a WS. Teams win with worse setup guys all the time. Including the 2013 Red Sox. Today was horrible, and he's been bad lately, but let's give him a chance to turn it around, because even with this rough patch his numbers are better than a lot of championship setup men. I’m not sure about any of this, and I would take prime Taz over Barnes in a heartbeat. For postseason bullpens these days, the Sox are very shallow.

Swihart is finding himself in some really big spots lately. wow. Pearce a better choice, perhaps?

Those balls were hit hard. See note below with Barnes giving up 9 runs in last nine innings. Not a fluke. agree to disagree...hard hit balls don't mean home runs. Ok I give up....They just as easily could have been liners to a fielder. Crap luck. Should have left Barnes in with an 81 ERA over his last nine. Wait ERA doesn't count.

We get Kopech when we play the White Sox too - saw him live in a AA game about a month ago and he was vile. I'm okay with that, we should have a big enough lead for the second wild card spot.

Right down the middle of the plate. Literally down the middle of the plate.

Okay, you might, but Taz was legitimately worse in basically every way in 2013 than Barnes has been this year. The Astros set up guy last year, Devenski, had very similar numbers. It's not some insurmountable weakness.

You know, after that Rays series we were due for a few ground balls that snuck through the infield.

Wow...welcome home to Fenway, Red Sox. Why not have an insane game. JBJ is NOT good with them loaded, so this is a brilliant outcome.
