Isn’t it nice now that Red Sox Nation can go back to resting easy on days when Pedro is pitching? Of course, it helps that Pokey’s making ridiculous, ludicrous catches. It also helped that Nomar and Millar got on base through the BB and HBP. Why is it we have the cluster of Bellhorn/Pokey/Nomar and Youklis/Mueller vying for 3 spots, and we still have to play Millar on first? And how much is Steinbrenner paying these teams to roll over?
Jim Tracy’s use of the LA bullpen was brilliant - for the Sox. We only saw the vaunted Gagne and Mota in the blowout. For a better management example, arguably, Dave McCarty’s mop-up last night saved Embree for tonight. Now on to Coors. I have no idea at all what that’ll do to our pitchers and mashers.
