Was Bard unavailable last night? If he wasn't I don't get what Tito was doing.
I don't have a problem with Tito's bullpen management last night. Okajima has actually been one of our better relievers this year, and Bard did throw 28 pitches last night. I mean, you're the same guy, toro, complaining about Tito's managing the bullpen like it was game 7 on the first game of the season. This is really no different, except bard had a relatively heavy workload the night before.
What I do blame is how pathetic Ramon Ramirez is. Dude was supposed to be our setup last year, and apparently he can't strike anyone out, or throw strikes for that matter. Also, Sox had 21 baserunners last night and only got 6 runs. That sucks.

I missed the game before, only caught the score. That's why I asked if Bard was hurt or unavailable. So I have no problem with Tito now that I know he had a reason.
