Re: I questioned that as well

Buehler has surpassed the planned innings limit of 150 innings for the year and he was at 107 pitches, so that is obviously why he came out.

I thought Roberts managed a very solid game. I agree on the argument of Baez coming into the game in the 8th, but I also understand his reasoning for letting Kenley come in, as the guy hadn't pitched in nearly a week. I thought he completely and thoroughly out managed Cora tonight. Cora went all in playing for the win, and since they lost, the Sox are now scrambling to pick a starting pitcher for tonight and pretty much all of their key bullpen arms have pitched in every game and thrown alot of pitches in this series.

Ironically I think Roberts managed a much better game tonight than he did in game 4 of the Brewers series. He was out of position players and bullpen pitchers by the 13th inning. Luckily they scored, as I don't know what Dave would've done after that.
