None of them even went past 5 innings. WAY too many walks. You don't win without starting pitching. That ultimately is the downfall of this 2021 squad. Expand The starting pitching peaked too early. A healthy Rodon and Lynn could have gone a long way in the postseason. Instead one had his shoulder fall off and the other one had knee issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Expand TLR deserves blame for sure, but the players just didn't perform. That's all there is too it. The starters flat out sucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 On the other side - Astros showed the Sox how far away they are from a top AL competitor. Deep lineup, work counts, force things to go your way. Good defensive positioning, make plays, don't make too many mistakes. Pitch to the other team's weaknesses. Kudos to them, minus the cheating. If this game doesn't change I think they're the AL world series team. They're going to beat on Boston's pitching the same way they did ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 We have not figured out that Tucker is sitting on every outside pitch and trying to take it to left field.
