Yahoo! Sports – MLB – Red Sox White Sox Box Score
The results weren’t perfect last night, but if Curt Schilling is going to regularly “close” games in the eighth or seventh, he’s going to transform the way bullpens work. And he’s going to make up in a hurry a lot of the value his owners lost when he got hurt.
It should also mean that he won’t be able to pitch on consecutive days, which should mean saves for other Red Sox bullpen members.
Also, I see in the notes that Buehrle was the sixth straight lefty the Red Sox have faced, the first time that’s happened since 1914. Their record in those games against their biggest weakness: 3-3.
