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
Pitching coach might need to change things up.
Seems a lot of teams are swinging early early early, knowing they should get a fastball to hit from the majority of our pitchers.
