Would have like Hagan going tomorrow

He's been fucking nails lately. What are we talking about here?

Baseball isn't logical, if it were, Messick and Williams would've got them their wins in CLE and this game would've been our best shot at beating them. Messick can go a strong 6 as well as get knocked out in the 3rd, you never know even when you think you do, it's why we love this game, it can be infuriating too lol

Seems all their lefty opener candidates could get blown up, starting with Kay or Newcomb. Likely go with the fresher arm in Kay. Hicks would have SFG starter flashbacks.

It’s not too late for playoff beards. I can’t stress rebellion enough.

Because pitching wins pennants and if you are Cleveland you have to feel pretty good about having a pair of top guys available where the Sox as stated don't. I know if I was managing the Sox I'd love to have two guys of that caliber ready to go. Doesn't mean Cleveland will win but anybody who thinks this series is over is not looking at reality.

damn, we got cooked. listened to some of the game on the radio but I had a feeling this wasn't a game I wanted to watch.

10 walks, 5 of them scored. Literally just don't do that again.

As bad as the Sox played, it was only 5-3 going into the 8th, and 4 runs by CLE squarely on Venable's decision to put Hudson in whom we all seen has struggled for a while now. How many walks for CLE? Double digits on walks, right?

People care way too much about starting pitching now

I'm guessing that is going to play a part in things. Big crowd desperate to see them close this out has got to make an impact on the players considering most of them have never been in this position before.

Flush it.

How is it absolutely correct after the Sox won the two games those dweebs pitched in?

JR is making millions more in revenue with an extra home playoff game...there's that.

I don't know if Newcomb can go again, but I'd give him the first and then go Hicks for 2 and then Fedde as the bulk with Taylor going 2 or 3 to close it out.

Absolutely correct.

On the bright side of things...they have their key bullpen pieces fresh, some balls should bounce their way tomorrow and cade pitched 2 innings so hopefully his arm falls off if needed. Go get em again boys...

Needed to end it today. Couldn't let them feel any kind of hope. Can't help thinking it's going 5 now.

I am concerned about the pitching matchup for game 4 and possibly for game 5. We don't have two TOR starters and a lot of our bullpen arms are toast.

It is now a series where the next two games are much easier for Guardians to win because of their starting pitching while our pitching continues to be a grab-bag.

Fedde Hicks Taylor This was supposed to be Luis Castillo's start two months ago. Meanwhile, Adell and Griffin both made key contributions. The White Sox might still get past CLE, but a team with 1 1/2 starters just doesn't stack up against the remaining playoff teams. Maybe SD...but they at least have Pivetta and Buehler/Ray. NYY Rays Dodgers Braves Brewers...no way Jose. Not Venable's fault. A lot of this was smoke and mirrors with a flawed roster...to win four consecutive road playoff games when they’d only won five TOTAL playoff games from 1960-2025 (with the obvious exception of 2005)??? Pretty remarkable to pull even that off, but also quite fortunate it was Houston and CLE. The limitations of this roster approach were just exposed, though. That they'd hardly hit any minefields with pen and openers was kind of miraculous in the first place.

Well that fuckin sucked

This series is far from over and I hope the Sox understand this. No guarantees even up 2-0. Hudson hasn't been sharp basically since the All-Star break and it was another two out hit that broke the game open.

You’re pulling a LeBron on us now! Ugh

Also, I approve of all of the RonRage.
