I would imagine the Sox pitchers know the plan, but this secrecy about the rotation, if they don’t , can’t inspire confidence. I think cease starts game 3 hopefully he has his control and the Sox win. Game 4 should be all hands on deck, and let Hendriks go multiple innings if needed, because if they win, they get another off day, and I say let Gio go game 5 in Houston. He had really good stuff yesterday. I think he was trying to be too perfect, and it cost him. He goes out with that same stuff, maybe the Sox get a break or two and beat McCullers. it seems depressing, but nothing really has changed. They were always going to have to win a game in Houston or if they had HFA, win all of their home games. This - backs against the wall…this was never going to be easy…just do this Sox. One at a time….get Er done!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hi8is 2,790 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Win three games in a row. Edited October 10, 2021 by hi8is Edit: Just think how awesomely embarrassing that would be for the Trashtros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bills-Chiefs are small markets but have a national following with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FriendlyNorthsider 114 Posted October 10, 2021 Cease has given up 3 or less runs in 5 or more innings in 13 of his last 15 starts (including his last start in which he pitched 4 innings but was taken out after 69 pitches. I feel more confident in Dylan than anyone else in the rotation at this point. If the Sox can go Dylan for 5, Kopech for 2, and Hendricks for 2 I think the Astros will be struggling to score. Ideally, the Sox can get some big offense early to save Hendricks for game 4. If I were a betting man, I would bet on the Sox in game 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there’s a strong chance they will be trying to save Kopech today, or at least not having him be the first man out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hang Wiffem 76 Posted October 10, 2021 Unless they're up by 10, they should not be trying to "save" anybody in an elimination game. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpringfieldFan 183 Posted October 10, 2021 16 hours ago, 2Deep said: I dont know. The 1st 2 games have been demoralizing. This is what I was afraid off. We kept coasting and seem to be playing that way in the playoffs while the team we are playing knows how to turn up the heat in playoffs. We have been out pitched, out hit (zero XB hits), out managed, out played on defense. Every aspect of the game we have been outplayed. We just need to win the next game and see what happens But Robert has been fun to watch. He has been like that biker kid that joined the Bad News Bears and was the one guy good enough he could have played on the other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Sacamano 2,788 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Stop playing so sloppy. I can’t stand another throw from the outfield landing somewhere random in the infield. Hopefully today is the day they flip that switch. Edited October 10, 2021 by manbearpuig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
