Why did the Rays pitch to Rice with first base open?

But much like the bullpen, you fell apart when you were needed most.

Would we not prefer a more tired TB for a potential ALCS meeting?

The Yankees look done

If the Rays win tonight it will be a night game tomorrow instead of 4pm so go fuckin TB!!!!!

LA 3 outs away from being first to advance

But you didn't clinch

He has carte blanche.

Fegan is about as good as they come in my opinion and that's not a knock on him. He's good.

It would be the only game. No reason to not be primetime.

Making the ALCS would go a long way. Can't blow it after being up 2-0.

They'll really change it that last minute?

Most of them are complete kiss asses

He cares more about Michican than the Sox. All our beat reporters are jokes tbh.

In Game 2, Venable said he wanted to use two LHP (ended up being Kay and Newcomb) to get through Kwan twice before going to the bulk RHP (Burke). So I assume he wanted the same from Newcomb and Hudson today, but then Hudson didn't have it. Down 1 or 2, I suspect he maybe goes to Fedde still like he did with Burke, but down 3+ he was just buying time to see if the offense could claw back.

I mean we were down 4-1 after the 3rd. We need to have people available for tomorrow, if it were tired or we were up I would have thrown Fedde in the middle of the game

I've only been on SoxTalk for 7 years, so I don't know @Heads22 as well as all of you old timers but I was so sad to hear of his passing. Let's bring it home tomorrow in his honor - thanks SS2k.

Venable sometimes has the urgency of a stoner trying to look for a job. That annoys the hell out of me. As soon as the Sox grabbed the one run lead, just go with your high leverage guys you trust, Smith with no runners on and take it from there. Instead he goes to Hudson who predicably, was horrendous.

Why didn’t he pitch today? Seemed like there was zero plan and we were just playing for game 4. Very odd.

Also worth noting that CLE has run both Messick and Williams at us in a series multiple times this season and never won both of their starts, including the first 3 of this ALDS of course. If our Sox haven't been intimidated to this point, I don't expect them to start tomorrow.

There would be no need. Whatsoever.

Fegan with the post game: Chicago Sun-TimesWhite Sox pitchers issue 10 walks, hitters strike out 19...Even before the Guardians padded on late runs to a comfortable 9-3 victory, they dominated the battle to control the strike zone.Says Hudson has an ERA of over six since the All Star Break.

That's smart, our guys should take a cue Hopefully, Vogt I believe will have a short leash as it's literally do or go on vacation for them, not us As long as he keeps the walks down

CLE has seen a lot of our lefties. I think we just go with Fedde to start and have Kay/Smith ready to go whenever he starts struggling plus Hicks, Newcomb, and Taylor

Yup
