Well, for all the complaining I did about the Sox offense, it seems that that tables have turned, and it has been the pitching that has disappointed me as of late. I haven't watched as many full games lately because of the Blackhawks madness, but I watch MLB network pretty avidly, and I have seen the highlights of these lame games. Not to mention the games I get to be at the ballpark at and they screw up.
Danks is known for being our really good pitcher who gets no run support. I can understand giving up 4 runs, but i feel like his 5 or so innings pitched was a bad thing because of our holes at the long reliever position. Ozzie said himself that he didn't think he needed any help in that respect because you have 5 guys who can go at least 6 or 7 innings every game, and then you put in Santos or Pena for an inning, then set it up with Thornton or Putz, then close it out with Jenks. Well, that seems to not be the case lately as our starters have had very short outings, and aside from the game that Buehrle got ejected from, the bullpen has sucked it up when we were in need of help.
Now as far as tonight's game went, Masterson was 0-5 coming in to this game, and we only got 1 lousy run, which was of course a solo home run. I had mentioned in a previous post, that Mark Teahen was particularly good against Masterson, but sadly he is on the DL with a broken middle finger.
