maloney.adam Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I have an interesting tidbit to share. Liam Hendricks did that interview on MLBNetwork and someone had asked him if the Sox are coasting. He mentioned that the team is aware of it and TLR is aware of it but I guess the whole team agrees that they took their foot off the pedal last year and just coasted in and that’s why the A’s beat them. I guess apparently Liam has been very vocal, telling the team to not let it happen again. Edited September 16, 2021 by maloney.adam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had 2 starts in August and 2 more so far in September opponents were Cubs, Jays, Pirates and Red Sox. Exactly 5 IP each game. 20 total, 26 K, 4 BB, 4 ER. If it was really really obvious he is hurt the results aren't showing it. If that's all he can give in the playoffs I will happily take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play everyone full send and win at all costs in September, which they are certain will deprive them of specific arms and bats. or Keep giving guys extended rests and let the chips fall where they may, as they are certain of a playoff slot, and a fully healthy team will overcome not having HFA.
