The defense is an issue, but pretending like this team only made the playoffs because of being in the ALC is ignorant of every advanced metric If we had first half Lynn and the no hitter throwing version of Rodon...

So the 2 walks by him in the inning they scored their runs had nothing to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) 8 minutes ago, fathom said: This offseason Sox just have to go full 2019 Twins and try to have 30 homer potential at every position And that's exactly the problem. This team is built on the almighty homer and throwing through a brick wall. The Sox need a more robust, multi-dimensional offense. Hahn has the same problem as Pace: neither has a clue how to get that done. And even if Hahn knew how, his ownership wouldn't pay for it. Keep the base thirsty says P.T. Reinsdorf.

caulfield12 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 At least Giolito is settling in...the idea of some of the Sox relievers being trustworthy with a one run game in this environment, not feeling quite so confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Man Giolito is really trying to keep the team in it but I'm worried about what happens when he runs out of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had Cy Rodon in game 1, we're up 1-0 with a 2-1 deficit in the 4th in game 2 on the road right now. Totally different circumstances. Our lineup is a front-runners lineup. We need a lead or at least some runs on the board for our offense to have their confidence. We don't have many of those LeMahieu, Gardner types of players. TA is one but we don't have many. We really fail to put together tough ABs consistently. It's funny BTW to watch a rookie in Sheets come up there and put together better ABs than the vets. Same was true with Yermin.

We have no choice but to use the big relievers, so no reason to reason about it. But let’s just hope we can have a lead by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the pen stops the Asstros at 2 runs, we still need to score another 2 runs to win. Our pitchers can't do anything to help as far as that goes.
