almagest Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just now, kwill said: I think we just got beat by a McCullers who was throwing strikes with his breaking ball. Most if not all teams will have trouble with McCullers when he is throwing his breaking ball for strikes. He also got the benefit of some borderline calls. I've seen him get roughed up and its when he can't locate the breaking ball and needs to rely on the fastball. He can't spot that as well and can get beat. I bet that was the Sox plan of attack but it didn't work out. I want to know why they didn't seemingly try to adapt. Crowd the plate and take away the inside. Look for the ball outside - mostly what he did was throw offspeed away all game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Just go get a nice comfortable victory tomorrow and let’s head to Chicago with HFA. We were never winning both of these and this game ended up as bad as it looked on paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 We need to be patient against Valdez tomorrow. I've had him in fantasy baseball this year and followed him a bit. He's been pretty wild in the 2nd half. A lot more walks and way more inconsistent. But the fact that he gets so many ground balls gets him off the hook at times.

NWINFan Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I see the Sox brought their dormant offense again. It needs to get on track or this season is over on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Only positives: We didn't strike out a ton and we made them use their top two guys so we at least got a look for hopefully Game 3-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still vig in a run line. + money does not mean no vig. Edited October 8, 2021 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well that sucked. All our worst fears coming true, offense quiet, Lynn hit hard, home field disadvantage and record against teams over .500. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
