I would imagine the Sox pitchers know the plan, but this secrecy about the rotation, if they don’t , can’t inspire confidence. I think cease starts game 3 hopefully he has his control and the Sox win. Game 4 should be all hands on deck, and let Hendriks go multiple innings if needed, because if they win, they get another off day, and I say let Gio go game 5 in Houston. He had really good stuff yesterday. I think he was trying to be too perfect, and it cost him. He goes out with that same stuff, maybe the Sox get a break or two and beat McCullers. it seems depressing, but nothing really has changed. They were always going to have to win a game in Houston or if they had HFA, win all of their home games. This - backs against the wall…this was never going to be easy…just do this Sox. One at a time….get Er done!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Win three games in a row. Edited October 10, 2021 by hi8is Edit: Just think how awesomely embarrassing that would be for the Trashtros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills-Chiefs are small markets but have a national following with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyNorthsider Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Cease has given up 3 or less runs in 5 or more innings in 13 of his last 15 starts (including his last start in which he pitched 4 innings but was taken out after 69 pitches. I feel more confident in Dylan than anyone else in the rotation at this point. If the Sox can go Dylan for 5, Kopech for 2, and Hendricks for 2 I think the Astros will be struggling to score. Ideally, the Sox can get some big offense early to save Hendricks for game 4. If I were a betting man, I would bet on the Sox in game 3.

I think there’s a strong chance they will be trying to save Kopech today, or at least not having him be the first man out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hang Wiffem Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Unless they're up by 10, they should not be trying to "save" anybody in an elimination game. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringfieldFan Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 16 hours ago, 2Deep said: I dont know. The 1st 2 games have been demoralizing. This is what I was afraid off. We kept coasting and seem to be playing that way in the playoffs while the team we are playing knows how to turn up the heat in playoffs. We have been out pitched, out hit (zero XB hits), out managed, out played on defense. Every aspect of the game we have been outplayed. We just need to win the next game and see what happens But Robert has been fun to watch. He has been like that biker kid that joined the Bad News Bears and was the one guy good enough he could have played on the other team.

Bob Sacamano Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Stop playing so sloppy. I can’t stand another throw from the outfield landing somewhere random in the infield. Hopefully today is the day they flip that switch. Edited October 10, 2021 by manbearpuig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
