See signing the biggest reliever contract ever twice (Robertson and Hendriks), trading for significant resources for Kimbrel with an already elite closer in place, and drafting Burdi (no doubt reliever) in rd1 of the draft. Well they love themselves bullpen games in the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling pretty good about that one right now. Burnes, on the other hand... yeah... if there's any truth to that rumor it'll hurt for awhile.

But he will be OK, just in an awful slump. It is easy to fill. Just bad luck on a player coming here and forgetting how to hit. Seems to happen way too often.

And he can play everyday on turf. 15 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: LaRussa must have a back or a neck issue, He always looks like he is walking carefully so he won’t fall over when heading to the mound. Two late nights in Ybor City can do that to anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of who I think would win a 7 game playoff series. 1. Rays 2. Yankees 3. Astros 4. Jays 5. Us How about the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Tim Anderson’s late game heroics prevented two sweeps vs. NY and TB. He is the player the Sox can ill afford to lose, can see him sitting a game or two in Toronto. Hope the Sox can avoid both teams/stadiums in the playoffs.
