flavum Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Red Sox/Braves was the only watchable World Series for me after the DS, so I’m ok with this so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I feel embarrassed that the White Sox looked overmatched by HOU and the Red Sox are making them look weak, SMH 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Surprised at the overreaction on here about what Boston going up 2-1 in the series means for the WSox, in relation to their performance. McCullers was the difference maker in the series and facing him twice in four games was a bad break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that turd they threw tonight would've been the starter in Game 4 in Chicago, without the rainout. So this thing would've gone 5 games, with (you guessed it) Lance McCullers starting Game 5 and having to save Houston's bacon. I think we'd look at our series a lot differently under that circumstance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) You guys are conveniently forgetting that the Astros lineup looked like Murderers' Row against our pitchers in every game except for game 3. The Astros lineup so far look pretty pedestrian vs Boston pitching compared to how they looked against us.

South Side Hit Men Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I don’t believe the current Sox team would have beaten any of the four AL playoff teams. My disappointment is toward the free agents targeted and signed the past two seasons, versus high upside guys like Schwarber, instead settling for rubbish like Parrot and Eaton.

Lot easier to have focused, tough at bats in a close game instead of being down 6-0 or 8-0 early in games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off a hot playoffs after cooling at the end of the year, it will be interesting to see what he (Taylor) gets...should obviously be more than 1 year and $8.3 million, something like 2 years and roughly $20-24 million. That said, he's one full year older than Kike Rodriguez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have been AS EASY to get Schwarber from the Cubs two years ago...but I guess we'll never know if 1) the Sox inquired, or 2) what the price for either Bryant or Schwarber would have been. Would have been an easy and quick solve for our LH/RH imbalance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted Schwarber in LF, Eloy at DH, Springer in RF. Both were reasonable deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having to face McCullers at all in a series is definitely catching a break. But having to face the ace of a staff twice in a series is not a bad break. I believe that's just called the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
