If you could sign up for a Sox/Jays ALCS right now, would you do it? Or would you let it play out?

This is pretty funny now that we’ve seen the lineup.

Bump. We are locked in to the 92-94 wins option, and we obviously won the division. Well done, SoxTalk.

What time are the "day" games usually for the ALDS? Are we talking about a 1 PM start? Or more like a 3 or 4 PM start?

No Eloy, Robert, or Grandal in that game. Goodwin was batting clean up, so that tells you everything you need to know. McCullers should be the one who is scared.

Who are their top three starters for the playoffs?

You just said the exact same thing that he said.

If Engel can’t go in the playoffs, is there any scenario where Vaughn is in RF and Sheets is the DH?

I don’t disagree with your analysis, but I still want Lucas pitching game 2. If we win game 1, he can bury Houston. And if we lose game 1, game 2 becomes extremely critical, and I’d love to have Lucas on the hill for that.

Grade it with hindsight or strictly basing it off of the moves at the time they were made?

Perhaps they are eliminated from winning the division?

I don’t think that tells us much of anything, considering we weren’t even close to full strength in many of those games.

Was there any doubt we’d have an early sac fly in the game tonight after this thread was created?

Absolutely. And the worst part for Seby (and for us) was that the Sox didn't even win that game. But Seby absolutely contributed to the Field of Dreams win, and I will never forget that. Even bigger than the home run was the base on balls he worked before Timmy. Such a huge at bat.

I just got an alert on my phone letting me know that Keuchel is 27 outs away from a perfect game.

Shouldn't this title say that Anderson is one of the top ten most entertaining players? And shouldn't Hendriks and Lynn be recognized? The list is not in order. It's alphabetical.

It’s going to be interesting to see what TLR wants to do in the playoffs when we are facing a righty. Option 1: Eloy in LF, Goodwin in RF, Vaughn at DH Option 2: Eloy in LF, Vaughn in RF, Sheets at DH Option 3: Eloy in LF, Engel in RF, Vaughn at DH The third option is clearly the move with a lefty on the mound, but will Tony want to put more emphasis on offense or defense when we’re facing a righty?

Eh, I thought that was blown out of proportion. I didn’t have any issue with what he said.

I missed the last two innings. How did Kopech and Hendriks look? Box score says they were good, but how was their stuff/command?

I will be there tonight. First game in a couple years.

Without the Tatis trade, we might not finally pull the trigger on the rebuild. It's possible that we are in worse shape right now without the Tatis trade.

There was a recent game where TLR sent the runner on first base with a full count on Abreu. Jose swung at a bad pitch and struck out. The person you are currently arguing with called it a "hit and run" and said that Jose swung because he had to protect the hit and run. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this message board, and all of his posts now have zero credibility to me. What does that have to do with Grandal, you might ask? Absolutely nothing. But you might not want to waste your time arguing with him.

And there are still several people here who think they could do a better job.
