The bullpen has given up 6 of those runs and that's just from 2 games and FIP is directly related to strikeouts. He hasn't pitched like an ace but he hasn't been terrible.
But it really didnt. The limit pitch counts and bullpen use did. Giving up 1 run in 6 2/3s is good. If we had the sox pen we win easy. I never blame a starter if the pen has a 4 run lead and need just 1 out.
Gibby deserves this. That's 2 times taking him out before 100 pitches and a big lead. Both blow by the bullpen tonight and bad managing the first time. 1 out is all they needed. Great game by Stroman. Bullpen is terrible and not used properly that's the problem
