ALDS Game 1- White Sox/Astros, 3:07 GAME THREAD

[Tomtom 77]

The best thing you can say about this game is that, hopefully, it will be the kick in the ass they need to get them going.

[Dan Pasqua 40]

Leadoff walks will kill you everytime

[BigHurt3515 1,077]

Can't throw a damn strike

[Unknown 82]

Lynn implosion 

[ShoeLessRob 1,557]

It’s almost as if Lynn has a history of being bad in Houston? 🤔🧐

[Dan Pasqua 40]

[maxjusttyped 2,076]

Lynn has zero clue where the ball is going. No command at all.

this was an easy prediction tbh, Sox as an org. have a lot of work to do if they ever wanna be on this level.  Start by sniping coaches and trainers from TB and HOU and LAD for starters, end the nepotism for crying out loud.  Can't wait til Jerry is gone, maybe something changes

And not completely botch trade deadlines 

[2Deep 613]

No control 

[EloyJenkins 1,737]

Honestly this is why putting Giolito in game 2 was actually not terrible. Sox can steal a game here still

[Look at Ray Ray Run 7,003]

There it is. Thanks.

Hof intuition beats any stats

[South Sider 477]

Yikes, I was hoping for better from Lance today!

[almagest 482]

I would rather this be the clunker given the Sox can't hit McCullers, but man.

[2Deep 613]

Just get out of this inning at 3-0 and let's go hit 

[Marqhead 296]

We all knew this was going to be a tough game

Lance is struggling but the offense needs to get something going, not going to win many with 0 hits.

Lynn vs Astros... not good. Unfortunately have to lean on him again if we get to a game 5

Leash with Cease ready to go but I don't see this going to a game 5, the Sox aren't competitive with Houston, they look totally unprepared like interns are running the show

[The Grinder 143]

I agree plenty of mental mistakes, we need to loosen our assholes a bit

Always plenty of armchair QB's here and I admit I'm one of them

Listen, don’t get upset guys it’s the first game of the series. 

I will be upset at Lynn and the decision to start him thanks.  Series isn’t over but it’s a shit showing game 1.

Giolito would've been better than this in my opinion. 

I agree, he was our best pitcher in the second half.

[ScooterMcGuire 1,370]

Great K there. Keep them at 3.

[Look at Ray Ray Run 7,003]

If they bring in freaking lopez I might actually think the game is over lol.

[StrangeSox 880]

locked him up there, big out

That's not how this works. They are ready to go, McCullers is a great pitcher and Houston owns Lynn. He should have never started this game even with Rodon only playing once. It should have been Giolito and Rodon based on recent events.
