[Coach]

So let's talk about Sale and durability.

[Simple Torture]

Woof.

Woof.

So let's talk about Sale and durability.

I'm not having this conversation.

[Coach]

Hey, Red Sox,

[spike]

how'd this team win a division?

[philpritchard]

So... Farrell decided to use Porcello, Price, and Rodriguez in essentially mop-up roles out of the pen? The pitching usage in this series may be the dumbest playoff management decisions I've ever seen. This is way worse than Showalter leaving Britton in the pen last year.

[Norah]

He better be fired on Monday.

[numbers]

When he used E-Rod yesterday after using Porcello Thursday, it became obvious that he wants to use Sale in the game 4 that will never happen, which is insane given how things are with Sale right now.

[numbers]

Not to mention he keeps benching his only power guys with a team that is completely desperado for power.

[philpritchard]

I understand that Price is unable to start right now anyway, but that means you need the rest of your starters that much more. But yeah, let's move 'em all to the pen! And then use 'em in low leverage situations only! Genius!

[numbers]

Yeah, it's insanity. There's nothing worse than someone like Farrell, who is inept when it comes to strategy, trying to overmanage his way out of getting canned.

[numbers]

Man I hope the Indians win tonight so I don't have to call in sick to see tomorrow's game.

[Norah]

I'm so mad right now. Seething.

[Norah]

A lot less upset now.

[numbers]

Still plenty of game.

[Norah]

yep

[philpritchard]

Silver linings and all that...

Hopefully they don't fuck this up by hiring Ausmus
