We might need Foster for game three as a part of a bullpen game with Dunning going through the order maybe once.

1: there won't be a game 3
2: Crochet would be the best 1st guy out of the pen

I think they will win today as well. But if I was in charge I would consider saving Foster if I could. I would also prefer to not start with Crochet. He's still a rookie, and it's a lot of pressure.

I would try to go Dunning-Foster if it gets to a game 3.

Bassit gave up 1 ER in 26.2 IP during September. He's a RHP averaging 8K/9IP.

There will be a game 3.

That just tells me he is due for a bad game.

Oakland in the playoffs is almost as bad as MN in the playoffs. Billy Beane is the most overrated GM in the history of sports and builds teams that cannot contend when the games truly matter.

I'm supposed to fear Chris Bassit when he's going up against Kuechel. Ok.

I'm a lifelong Sox fan (lmao) with PTSD from all the past failures.

Chris Bassit doesn't scare me. And the team has been good at wearing starters down and getting into the bullpen.

Sox have the swag right now. I think they wrap it up today.

You have to win the game you're playing before worrying about the next one. Plus, it's only a three game series and you can have Foster pitch in two straight games. If you need him in game 2, use him.

and Ricky has gone ahead and done it again. Dreadful decision to DH Encarnacion and bat him 5th behind Abreu. 1: Encarnacion is a free out (his slash line is equal to 2011 Dunn) and 2: Abreu has absolutely no protection in the lineup with an automatic out behind him. Watch him get walked repeatedly. No one will give him a pitch to hit with E5 behind him. McCann should be the DH today if Eloy can't go.

Sox get smoked today.

Thus far the Sox bullpen has thrown a total of 20 pitches between 3 guys so I concur. Use the best arm available for the situation today and they get extra rest tomorrow.

yep. Eloy has nothing to do with it. EE has no business being on the roster yet alone in the lineup. Even Mazara as DH makes more sense the EE.
Awful.

If you have to use him go ahead, but I bet Kuechel goes 5 or 6 innings today. Then I would go Heuer, Crochet, Bummer, Colome.

SMH.

Eloy's injury must be enough that they are holding out hope for a Kirk Gibson type moment, but there's no chance he can run out 3 or 4 at bats.

Oakland will not let Abreu beat them again. Encarnacion is going to have to put the bat on the ball.

and Ricky's reasoning for EE is really no reasoning at all. He just feels it.

What loyalty could he possibly have for this guy who has been here for 60 games, done nothing and will be gone the moment the season ends?

Edwin just needs to do something good once a game.
Sox that good, they let their mascot in the lineup.

If they really have to play Encarnacion, I would have batted Robert 3rd and Grandal 5th to protect Abreu.

Madrigal has to make that play. Should be an error.
