Two were on, one out, game on the line, leave him in... Boom. They already used both of their left-handed relievers in Matzek and Minter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He constantly makes head scratching decisions imo...I've never found him to be a good game day manager watching him at playoff time. He manages a team with great talent and a seemingly limitless payroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean using a guy you plan on starting in 3 days in game 2 of a series with a 2 run lead when you have a great bullpen isn’t a good move?

But major league scouting should be able to look past that. As long as the Sox gave up similar prospects or players, I don’t concur there would be similar outrage. All had/have much higher upsides than OFers such as Goodwin or Lamb they were carrying at the time. Dodgers going with an opener (Joe Kelly) tonight. Thought the Dodgers had the momentum after their Game 3 comeback, but were silenced yesterday. Braves have been on a pitching roll, and have Fried on the bump tonight. Should be a great game.

caulfield12 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Feel like Chris Taylor could easily end up as the big acquisition this offseason…which is kinda scary based on how high his stock will be after these playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know why it won’t happen ($) but with the injury record of the White Sox’s key players, you would be well justified in having a couple of guys of that caliber around.
