I'm sick of 85 MPH Brian Johnson and his 3-4 Inning outings. Yawn. Please find a workhorse who can eat up innings. What killed this game wasn't anyone who pitched today. It was Workman's failed save in the 9th last night that turned into a 15-inning game one day too early. Yes. The failed bullpen lead to more people being unavailable the next day. The starters not doing their job is one thing, but when you completely ignore that the bullpen is shooting itself in the foot half the time, then well, we will agree to disagree then.

That many blown saves indicates a fatal flaw. Unclutch pitching, along with unclutch hitting (at times). The starting pitching failed the team more though. Has this blown saves thing not been put to bed yet? They have 2 more blown saves than the Yankees, 1 more than the Dodgers and Oakland. It's about as meaningful a stat as pitcher's wins. Or, you know, saves. Meh, it still counts, but when you add the starting pitching problems on top of it, it compiles the issue. Your starters don't go deep and they give up a ton of runs and the bullpen performs. A starter will give you one good start a week and then a guy like Brasier will blow that great start. It's been happening all year.

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. Your mind's gonna be blown when you find out there are 20 teams with a worse bullpen ERA... Brasier never would have had to come into this game if we had sufficient starting pitching in the first place. It's so simple with this team: the starting pitching has come up short - first due to performance, now due to injuries. I'll never understand why people insist on putting the blame anywhere else.

My quick prediction- the following will not be on the team next year...Johnson, Walden, Brewer, Smith, Brasier, Wright, Hembree, Weber, Leon, Owings. Walden and Brewer could be back (Brewer has a option remaining), but yeah the rest can go. See ya!!!

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.

Brasier is just a guy who will throw 4 or 5 pitches down the middle during a appearance or will walk everyone. Got a bad bad feeling.

Yes, took him 3 batters to ruin this. What a joke. Here's where you could have used depth for the bullpen at the trade deadline. Right here. Here's where the depth is finally biting you. in fairness, it's pretty hard for any staff no matter how good to go two straight bullpen games in a row, with one lasting fifteen innings. The Sox were fine until they brought in a bad pitcher in a high leverage inning. Just the simple truth of it all. Every team is seemingly using bullpen games all the time. You just got to have better depth than Brasier.

Even if he keeps this tied, you have Workman for one inning. Maybe Cashner for one inning, then you have Josh freaking Smith the rest of the way.

This is awful. This is how the season is going to end, with awful Brasier on the mound.

Barnes for another - or Brasier? or Brasier then Workman? Fingernail biting time to get the last 6 outs - especially if we can't tack any more runs on. It'll probably be Brasier, ugh. Yes, he's warming.

Man is it scary to keep extending Johnson out more and more as the game goes alone. The bottom of the lineup is coming up though.
