He is really super smart and knows the game.
If not for him, the decimated Sox would be 20 games out.
Still have wild card shot since Tampa is Tampa and are having Sox type injuries.
Brett Gardner is alos overrated in the clutch.

flyingelvii {l Wrote}:The bigger mistake was letting Buccholz come out for the 8th. The decision to bring Atchinson just shows how crappy the Sox bullpen is behind Bard and Papelbon.
flyingelvii {l Wrote}:I was seiously thinking of just putting Bard down there. While Paps hasn't been great this year he's been an above average closer. Watching him compared to Bard is a wholly different experience. Bard just tends to make things look incredibly easy while Paps likes to make the 9th an adventure. Hopefully the Sox aren't the one to pay him his $12 million arb award next year.
