Only thing that makes sense to me is AA is telling to Snit to find opportunities to showcase Wisler for a trade...
But I'm afraid putting him this spot could only yield the opposite effect
Sox attitude is why take BP before the game when you can take it during the game?
in a one-run game
the list of better options is long: leave Biddle in, bring in any of Winkler, Carle, Moylan.
I understand saving Winkler for later innings or games we are tied or ahead. Still leaves 3 superior options vs Betts.
Other things to consider. Wisler is a fly ball pitcher. This is Fenway. Betts hits home runs. Carle and Moylan are tough on righties. Moylan keeps the ball on the ground. You don't need a super computer to process these things.

I guess the extra run at least means the Braves won’t see Kimbrel, barring a comeback stew brewing?
Edit: Guess not. Good luck, batters.

Well I’ll be dam. I hear you Swanson
Timing is everything, Dansby...smh
Geez, props Dansby there.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Acuna can’t hit the fastball currently
Acuna needs a day off. At least move him out of 2 spot.
Jesus. He wasn't even close, and with a lot of batters truly slumping, there's not much you can do with rearranging.

Bummer

Honestly... I never wanna hear about people saying young kids are ready at age 20 due to a few hot weeks in minor leagues.

Wisler's fastball-slider combo should work out of the pen. Problem is he throws way, way too many non-competitive pitches.
