Keppler's facial expression tells it all. He was looking around, "Hey, what happened"? I tell you this dude has some issues. I didn't think he was the kind of guy who would necessarily tank, after signing a multi year guaranteed contract a couple of years back, but this has been going on some time.
Yes, the egos need to be checked at the door (myself included). Too many opinions expressed as facts and vice/versa. A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. One of my favorite sayings, "Ignorance is worse than the sins, that it causes". I definitely have to do a better job.
Boston fans are great, when things are going their way. They're applauding, letting people get to their seats easily, cheer the ball boys, and even use the restrooms, rather than whizzing on the concourse.
Roccos style of management has accentuated the 1 inning reliever. The more relievers you bring in, the greater the probabilty of 1 or more not 'having it'. Stretch these guys out. And for heaven sake don't bring your closer until their is a save opportunity. (Hopefully won't come into play, tonite)
