Well, this is what happens when you're trying to get by without your top two starters. It's gonna bite eventually. They just came up one arm short in this game.

At least we can rest easy knowing that the offense isn't the reason why the Sox lost.
Go resign Cashner and go get a closer Dave Dombrowski. Geeze.

this game is the epitome of the season. Lets play the kids. this team is hapless when it comes to playing intelligently. the DP was inevitable in the top of the inning. Garcia throws sinkers and sinkers cause the ball to be hit on the ground. DP's happen because of this. This is why you bunt, to avoid what happened to Brock. You don't think that Benny would have hit into a DP? The Sox are 1 of the leading teams in DP's and guess who is right there with them...Angels. I could point to the amount of dp's this year has caused a good part of this miserable season.

What a wicked, totally appropriate exclamation point that was. Post game interviews are going to be interesting.

That was terrible, why trust braiser in such a big spot when he has not been good this year? Yeah I get it options where limited cause of the 15 inning last night but we couldn’t have called up a Lakins or even a brewer?? Really don’t trust Brasier. It's not like any of those are great options. The only way to get through this game was through a couple of pretty weak arms. Just couldn't dodge every bullet. Angels have been blessed by the BABIP gods in this game too. (Not that that accounts for Albert Pujols' corpse going yard as I type this...)

Those Brasier splits are available with literally 10 seconds of work. When you look into them as I did yesterday, you discover that luck has made them smaller, not bigger.
Did analytics not figure this out?

My quick prediction- the following will not be on the team next year...Johnson, Walden, Brewer, Smith, Brasier, Wright, Hembree, Weber, Leon, Owings.
Going to be a busy, fascinating off season, and I think the team will look quite different.

I would take Lakins and or brewer over braiser any day of the week. Brasier is not good. He throws center cut fastball after center cut fastball.

Since Lakins dominated the O's in two outings and was sent back down, he's faced 18 hitters and allowed .063 / .167 / .250. That's a heck of a lot better option that Brasier on 0 days rest.

The only alternatives were in AAA, right? And 3 time zones away? And what are you always saying about guys playing against their internal clock? Do you like Lakins pitching at midnight that much better than Brasier on 0 days' rest? I mean, maybe it would have been a better option. I don't know. But it wouldn't have actually been a good option. No matter what, this game was gonna have to get through a Brasier-like pothole in the road. It so happens that this particular pothole just completely did them in.

I'm sick of 85 MPH Brian Johnson and his 3-4 Inning outings. Yawn. Please find a workhorse who can eat up innings.

My issue with Brewer is that he can't throw strikes regularly. Every outing is an adventure. Walden will be a year older, and has a Brasier like feel to him - long time journeyman who had a good run, but walks too many (esp in big spots). I would not be unhappy to see them both go.

Very appropriate that they even squander in the 9th - bases loaded, no runs. Bizarre.

lot of 0fers for devers lately He is not the problem. The problem is the highest starting payroll in baseball can't stay healthy, when they are healthy they give up too many runs, and they can't eat up innings

This is just unbelievable. How could a bullpen be so awful? blown saves by Barnes, Workman, and Brassier are around 20 of the team 27(?) BS.
