John Lackey looked cranky & out of control. And Tito stuck with him too long in a game that the Sox would have lost anyways.
Wasn't Tito around last year when he tried to get one extra inning out of Lackey & it always backfired in his face? I don't understand the reluctance to go to the pen when you have a day off today.
Tito needs to treat Lackey like Dice-K. If you can get 5 innings of less than 5 runs given up, call it a day. Giving up 6, 7, 8, 9 runs on a regular basis takes your team right out of a game. Once the bleeding starts Lackey doesn't know how to stop it.
It may be time for John lackey to get a mysterious illness & take a 15-day time out on the DL.
