Yes, we need a few runs so that Matt Barnes can't blow this game. Yes, as we all know, Matt Barnes is the biggest issue with the Red Sox and if they survive his inning then things should be peachy.

Love that. Great hit by Bradley, great hustle by Hanley to score from first.

Too bad about the DP as Pedroia walked, Papi ripped a ball right into the shift for a DP and now Hanley walks, JBJ hard hit. Could have been a big inning. Two walks and two hard hit balls. At least one run but bad luck.

At least one run but bad luck. I know they have really sucked lately, but this has been happening a lot lately, exaggerating just how bad they've been. For example, I think there are 3 teams that have more Pesky pole homers than the Red Sox.

The biggest issue with this team continues to be John Farrell. And that includes his inability this season to discern which of his relief pitchers should get the high leverage innings (as well as his inability to discern which innings ARE the high leverage innings).

It's funny how when you play badly bad luck seems to follow. Does He come out for 1 more? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

I'm really not sure what to tell you if you honestly think the manager is the biggest issue with the team and not the ungodly performance by the pitchers. I'm sure you can rationalize some hard facts about Farrell, but that doesn't change that the team is struggling mostly because the pitchers are constantly underperforming.

And that includes his inability this season to discern which of his relief pitchers should get the high leverage innings (as well as his inability to discern which innings ARE the high leverage innings). For JF , this is straightforward. In descending order of leverage: 9th, 8th, 7th, 6th, with Kimbrel, Uehara, Tazawa and Barnes respectively pitching.

What I meant was that Farrell somehow thinks tie games (and down by 1) are low leverage situations and throw out whoever's up from Pawtucket for 3 days.

For this game and this game only? Yes, Matt Barnes is probably the biggest threat to them losing. Do you disagree?

For a simple example to people with short memories - Uehara, Tazawa and Kimbrel all pitched last night needlessly and will be needed tonight. Barnes should have been left in to rot last night to get as many outs as he could without care to how many runs he gave up.

Rick Porcello you manly beast. Bring him out for the seventh! For a simple example to people with short memories - Uehara, Tazawa and Kimbrel all pitched last night needlessly and will be needed tonight. Kimbrel and Tazawa hadn't pitched in four days. I have no problem at all going to them on consecutive nights. Not real excited about using Uehara in a high-leverage role right now.

That was unfortunate, but it's also telling of Dombrowski, or at least his and JF's communication. Mike Miller called up, Bogaerts starts, pen is short. Now today, with Mike Miller up, Marco starts at short. Pretty suspect roster management all season by DD to be honest.

That's a testament to how volatile relief pitchers are. But seriously, there is no way that you actually believe they're close in ability, right?

Barnes is .4 fWAR behind Tazawa, which is a pretty big gap in half a season's worth of reliever outings. Fortunately, the leverage of this game just dropped a ton, which is a nice get.

Still sticking up for Farrell? He shouldn't be pitching either of them in a one run game right now. And neither should Tazawa in a 5 run game.
