The Red Sox just optioned Cuevas to bring back Thornburg. While he will never be worth what we gave up to get him, I’m looking forward to seeing what he’s got

Tonight's game would have been a good first outing for him.
It's been a long time .I am also looking forward to this and what this means for the pen going forward .
It would have been. Maybe they just want to bring him up a bit, see the feel of MLB again for a bit, but yea, this was low intensity for most of the game.Originally Posted by fxkatt
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
There's no doubt the SOX need another BP arm and MAYBE Thornburg is the answer, but the Yankems BP, except for Benances and Chapman are no great shakes either.
Green, Holder, Robertson, and Warren say hi
Hal sucks
I applaud his courage for working so hard to get back.
But if we are being honest, if he is going to have any success, he will need to bring his game up a ton from what he showed in his rehab outings.
Makes one want to throw another F you to C.Smith for his self-inflicted injury.
Nothing wrong with having passion and emotion in this game. I just wish he was more mature about he expressed it!
Good point. Betances & wife beater belong in the no great shakes club with the rest of those bums....

A strong Thornburg will go a long way in making me feel better about the bullpen. As important as starting pitching is, the Sox bullpen will determine how far the Sox go. In the playoffs closing games out is the difference between winning championships or just participating in. The last two years the Sox just participated in.
I really think that regardless of what Thornburg does, Dombrowski needs to add another reliever, even though I happen to think our pen is pretty good as is.
Dombrowski has one of the worst track records in making any bullpen related deals. One could argue his only success (Kimbrel) was due to overpaying. His ineptitude probably cost the Tigers a World Series title during their window of opportunity (and helped the Sox).
Let's hope his luck changes.
