Of course they do. But the two most important guys in any game are the starting pitchers. By far.

Do we really have to keep going over this nonsense pretending that the flow of the game is irrelevant? You say Cease doesn't "deserve" to lose. Some guy in Houston says Valdez doesn't.

I guess you can blame Grifol for leaving his guy in too long or laud Dusty for knowing to take his guy out. Whatever. The starters will both be 0-0 after this game.

No it doesn't. Maybe it seems that way to you. Not sure why though.

The pitcher that gets the win is the most important guy there. It’s about WINNING games!

I think I've expressed my opinion on the matter in a clear and cogent manner. W/L record tells you a lot about a starter. It tells you nothing about a reliever. But keep trolling if you want.

Looks like the Sox may win this one. I hope they can close it out in which case their bullpen out pitched Houston's bullpen.

I hate Vaughn so much.

So far just like last year. Maybe LaRussa wasn't the problem.

At least they got the win.

Despite everything.....good pitching, late-inning hitting, on the road against a good team. I'll take it.

But some of the same shit as last year...too many men LOB, questionable defense, and, of course, base-running that is nothing less than abhorrent.

Ugly win. Cease was terriffic.

He put them in a position to lose. Lucky he got bailed out by Lopez.

Valdez should have won that game. It's a shame he got ZERO run support. He was terrific.

His teammates should have pitched better.
