Lynn - should never have pitched in Houston in the first place. Lynn - left in too long Crochet - used in back to back games for completely bizarre reasons Bummer - got tons of ground balls, defensive positioning was terrible. Rodon - left in too long. Kopech - put into a game where he was literally not supposed to pitch because of the high workload 2 days ago. I will give you Kimbrel was awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season and now the post season proved that." Tony is living rent free in that man's head. Tony's managing was a problem, but a bigger problem was the talent deficit, and subsequently pitchers shitting the bed. If TLR manages the series perfectly, the Sox still lose. LaRussa was brought in because Renteria could not get the job done in the postseason. Whatever Tony did to prepare this team for October clearly did not work. Maybe they just aren't built for October yet, but I think he was a bigger problem than you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Kenny info. And the thing is it ain't gonna change. Even when jerry is gone another reinsdorf will take over with the same bad habits. The division bailed this team out. They were begging another team to make a run the entire second half but no one did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These dudes were caught red handed, they received a slap on the wrist, how do you know for sure they aren't still cheating? If that is case the sox should have came up with a game plan to prevent this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Time to move on from TLR, and find some better players as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can be better if they know what pitch is coming up, cheaters don't get the benefit of the doubt, they barely beat the Yankees and Dodgers even when they were flat out cheating, fuck these guys, sorry.

chw42 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Sox don't have a hit with a runner on base today. Doesn't matter what the pitching does if that's what your offense does. The Astros got every hit with runners on and 2 outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Just now, almagest said: They might be, but that's a cop out right now. As far as we can tell they're just better. Their defense up the middle has been better. Management bad on both sides. Their offense is clicking while ours isn't but theirs is a veteran offense and ours younger. Their SP has gotten the ball over the plate more in counts where they needed to. I'm not convinced that we aren't the overall better team. Take out a team in the AL Central, put the Astros in their place, I still think we have a shot at winning the division. Its just the same shit with us though, poor fundamentals. They definitely are a better fundamental team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn was a bad decision for sure, but he still sucked and didn't get through 3. Bullpen had to cover too many innings and I'm not sure if it mattered who was in there because they couldn't pitch Tepera 4 innings. Crochet was a terrible decision as well, but Giolito couldn't make it past 4. That's a lot to cover and the bullpen never stopped giving up runs. Bummer has had the same issues all year. Defensive positioning definitely an issue. Rodon was left in too long, and it probably should've been Tepera, but the bullpen again never stopped giving up runs. Kopech sucked in both appearances.

Dick Allen Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Getting into the playoffs should be a cakewalk next year. They need to emphasize from the start the importance of making guys hit their way on base. They have been killed by that this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
