The only thing Madrigal did for the clubhouse was make them come together to dislike him

I'm not going to derail this by arguing about Madrigal, but you are too smart for this. Even if you weren't a fan of him as a player, he was objectively a very productive player and someone the Sox could have used badly right now.

Sure he would be better than Leury or Cesar right now, but for him to say he kept the clubhouse loose is wrong. More than one insider has said the organization thought he was a turd

I don't think there was ever a chance Carlos started game 1.

Even if he was pitching like he did in June and July? He would be the Cy Young favorite had he been healthy. He definitely would have gotten the game 1 start.

Very real chance his knee is not 100%, so the Sox could have had a good reason not to go with him in game 1 if so.  It wouldn’t have bothered him in the slightest because he is a realistic person.

The guy signed to be with the Sox for a few years. He did everything to earn his start. With Rodon not feeling great he was absolutely going to start game 1 or 2. The match ups make tomorrow more winnable.

If anything the Lynn and Grandal need to figure out how you can beat a fastball hitting team throwing 74 fastballs on 76 pitches. Either have to get effectively wild or show more breaking stuff.

I simply disagree about earning things being a concern to consider  in a win or go home series. This is not the same as earning opening day of the season.
