Bill, what limitations are you speaking to? I agree with pinch hitting for Tek toward the end of the game. Perhaps Saturday's home run kept him in last night's ball game, but he's dreadful to watch.
I would not have sent Pedroia with Poppy up. I thought the chances of a strike out were too high. Other than that he was spot on with starting Beckett on Saturday, and I really liked his use of Papelbon on Thursday. He put the team in the best position to win on Sunday, but they didn't execute. Or, more precisely, Tampa Bay did. Garza was nasty, and Price impressed me a great deal.
