The Truth about Saturday Night.

In the stories I've seen, the Sox 8-4 loss in Texas last night was blamed primarily on Julian Tavarez and J.C. Romero. My own eyes told a slightly different story.
I'm wondering why nobody is questioning Francona's strategy in the top of sixth inning. The Sox trailed 4-3, having just scratched out a run in the top of the inning to make it a one-run game. Kyle Snyder came in to start the bottom of the inning and gave up a double and a long fly out that advanced the runner to third. Francona then pulled the righthanded Snyder to bring in the lefthanded Romero. The next three batters were Teixeira (switch-hitter), Sosa (righthanded), and Blalock (lefthanded). Last season righthanders batted .382 against Romero.
So why the hell was he brought in to face two straight guys who would bat righthanded? They promptly went single, homer, and that was pretty much the game, with only more ugliness thereafter, including three straight singles, one more of them by a righthanded batter, before Romero was finally replaced. Wouldn't it have made (much) more sense to leave in Snyder to pitch to Teixeira (perhaps choosing to walk him intentionally) and Sosa, and then bring in Romero to face the lefthanded hitters? I still can't figure out why that wasn't done.
Romero is the fall guy in this game, but I don't think he should be.
It should also be pointed out that Tavarez looked great in the first inning, scuffled a bit (but didn't give up a run) in the second, and then fell apart in the third only after J.D. Drew completely botched a double into an inside-the-park homerun, first letting the ball get past him and then missing any and all cutoff men while the batter, Michael Young, just avoided the tag at the plate. Then a few batters later, a two-run single fell a few feet in front of Manny on a ball that almost anyone under the age of 80 would normally have caught. That would have ended the inning and kept the score tied at 2-2. So a normal fielding performance by the outfielders could have kept that a one-run inning. Instead the Rangers got four and never trailed for the rest of the game.
My beef is as much with the reporting of the this game as with the mistakes both mental and physical by Drew, Manny, and Francona. Despite the numbers, I think Tavarez showed some promise, but you'd never know it from reading the stories recapping the game. And Romero shouldn't have been pitching in that situation in the first place.
I guess some of the writers are still getting into game shape, too.
