According to Ian Browne from redsox.com, Wakefield was one of the pitchers they were saving in the case that the game went into extra innings. “Okay,” one might say, “then why did it have to be Wake? Why did they have to save both him and Beckett for extras?”

ltz did last night. At the same time I’m not worried. Not yet. According to Ian Browne on mlb.com, Smoltz did not pitch well in 2002 as his first outing as a closer (0.2 IP, 6 H, 8 R), nor did he have a good outing his first time back in the rotation three years later. Maybe the hype is too much for him on the mound. I say we see how he does his next couple of starts before making a decision on whether or not we want to keep him in the rotation. I’m not giving up on Smoltz yet. And if we have to, there’s always Buchholz waiting in AAA.
