Pretty much. Those 3 walks hurt him bad. And if Ped didn't boot the ball, the Sox had a DP that would have left the Tigggers with only 1 run in the inning.
Also the Red Sox overall outhit the Tigers 12 to 9, but they were sufficiency spread.
Farrell should have taken Peavy out as soon as he started pooping. he’s got Workman, Dempster and Doubront ready to go for long relief. And after looking at the box score, Workman did fine - positive #1.
Pulling Peavy before he let up the 5 spot SHOULD have been done. That’s what sunk the Sox, not DET playing with the lineup.
The hitting BOS did is positive #2.
Middlebrooks sits, Drew still in the lineup. SIT DREW, TOO!
Also, Ross catching - good move.
