Yeah I definitely let Reylo finish the 6th and bring him out again for the 7th if he does successfully. I guess these guys haven’t pitched in awhile.

It’s rinse and repeat. The players think they can't beat teams over .500? I missed the quotes that said, "Glad we won the division, maybe next year we can win in the playoffs." Some of you need to drink more or something. Did LaRussa force them to chase balls out of the zone and struggle with breaking stuff? Should he have asked Dusty not to pitch McCullers to make it better? I wouldn't have started Lynn either but losing 1-0 or 10-0 is no different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have a 80% healthy roster at home than a 100% healthy roster on the road. If it meant several of these guys playing through some nagging injuries, oh well. They have time to rest in the postseason. But by the body language and approach to game 1, they may be all resting pretty soon You’ve followed the organization enough to know that when they try to do something like rest starters or adjust rotation to face certain teams, it always backfires 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Lynn starting, which...damned if you do or don't, really, with as fragile as the pitching is now...yeah, TLR actually isn't to blame. This debacle is on the lack of plan whatsoever vs McCullers, combined with Lynn keeping his "shitty vs Houston" trend alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better learn from this game because their offensive approach has been terrible. We will need to win three in a row to avoid that scenario. Not an easy task.

maloney.adam Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) They just lost to a better pitcher that we unfortunately haven’t matched up well against.

I wouldn't have started Lynn either but losing 1-0 or 10-0 is no different I wouldn’t have either and anticipated a loss. But they look terrible on all phases of the game, so yes I think there is a difference between 1-0 and 10-0. 1-0 at least a few aspects of their game must have been working, 10-0 (or 6-0 in this case) shows how either ill prepared or worse they are.

TaylorStSox Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I get the logic in starting Lynn, but starting Gio sets a tone. This is the kid's team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This is exactly why I wanted Lynn in game 1 and Giolito in game 2. Some people here are acting like the series is over. Everyone said we wanted to leave Houston with 1 win, and that’s still very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
