Please tell me Mike Timlin isn't going to be the setup man. Ugh.
Why take Beckett out after 84 pitches? This is the best game he's had in a Red Sox uniform. Let him go for the complete game, Coma.

I hate Francona as much as anyone and love to see players do things like complete games, strike out 10, etc. but Francona's job is to win games and setup his team to win games in the future if the game is already in hand. To get a complete game, he likely would've had to go over 100 pitches in a 14-1 game that they had already won. No point in risking injury/fatigue down the stretch when you have the game won.Bleeding Green wrote:Please tell me Mike Timlin isn't going to be the setup man. Ugh.

As for the game; can't ask for much more. That is the best performance I've seen from Beckett since joining the Red Sox. His command, curve and even changeup were anywhere from excellent to very good and his fastball was just overpowering. That is the type of pitcher I was hoping he'd become when he was acquired.
Offense was great but it is nice to see 'Tek hitting the ball well (going back to the Texas series, even if the results weren't there). JD Drew is a stud. Not really much bad to say about today's game.

Who else could possibly be the setup man at this point? Snyder has been a starter most of his career and has had tons of surgerys. He shouldn't pitch as many innings as a relief pitcher this season, as a setup man would need too. He can be good but they should take things slow with him.
Pineiro and Romero have been awful. Okajima gave up a lot of home runs in spring training, but I haven't seen enough of him. Also unproven.
Donnely and Lopez are the only other options. Donnely is definitly an option but Timlin has proven that he can pitch up to 80 innings when healthy in a season. Lopez has had a nice start and spring training, but is completely unproven.
