Julian Tavares
1 July 2008
the pitcher who gets you through the 7th and 8th innings to your star closer in the 9th. With Julian Tavares gone, Mike Timlin on the DL, & Okijima still burnt out from the 2007 season, the Sox enter the 2nd part of the 2008 season with a huge hole in their bullpen.

He'd thrown 42 pitches in the first inning, compared to Andy Pettite's 14.
Enter Julian Tavares, who gets out of the first without further damage and then proceeds to 'plunk' Derek Jeter and give up a subsequent home run to Bobby Abreu in the second inning. 6-0, Yanks. Matsui drives another run in in the third and it's 7-0 before Boston responds. Chris Carter singles and then, Brandon Moss hits a long fly ball to left field. Damon's playing there and loses the ball in the sun. He's still looking for it when it drops just in front of the left field fence behind him and Moss ends up on second. Julio Lugo ground outs (nice play by Jeter), scoring Carter for the first Sox run.

there’s a little controversy (if you can even call it that) over that fifth starting role, where Julian Tavares enters into the picture a little more prominently than he might have otherwise.
