Eloy can't hit 91 in. Organization better start really thinking about what to do with him, he has regressed something fierce.

LF next year, coming off a short year last year and this year with his injury. He needs the off-season to get healthy and stronger and work on his swing/approach at the plate. He has way too much talent to just give away and give up on this quickly

Yep. And I think he will. He hates this more than all of us. It’s in there tho and that’s the biggest hurdle. People talking about trading him coming off 21 are nuts.

It’s easy to see why he’s struggling.  Too far off the plate and then opening up too early. He has no power at the point of impact.

Well, Game 1 was a pitcher who we know sucks in Houston but is ok against them on the road so we pitched him in Houston and were astonished he sucked. 

Game 4 was a pitcher we knew only had so much in the tank, so we waited until he loaded the bases then left him in. Then went to the pitcher we said we weren't going to use because he worked hard on Sunday.

And throughout all of that, we have defensive positioning giving them baserunners.

It all boils down to TLR not being the man to push them over the top.  The season and now the post season proved that.

He specifically pushed them backwards all series. Pitching usage, positioning, the attitude and lack of HFA coming into it, all of these are major roadblocks.

I can't say this enough, NOTHING changed from 2020 to 2021 in terms of what the Sox needed to fix to get deep in the post season.  The baseball IQ didn't come up, the defense didn't get any better, and the pitching wasn't able to figure it out against the top of the league.
