Outside of ant don't feel like anyone is even capable of putting a ball in play today. This is so sad and depressing.

Well on our way to another 15+ strikeout game. What has happened to this team?!

It's been a fun ride. Hope they bolster pitching for next season

Hard to come back when all we do is strike out

Great idea but you KNOW that ain't how Venable rolls

So if we're starting our good left-handed lineup against their right handed opener, that pitcher is only going one inning and then they're changing over to a lefty. If we then swap out to all of our right handed bats, then we won't have use of any of our good left-handed bats late in the game when Cleveland goes back to a bullpen righty. Almost wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to go ahead and start the right handed hitting lineup to face their bulk innings lefty and save Peters, Ant and Benny for the back half of the game.

Can't quite figure out why we're taking so many strikes. Need to change our approach and start jumping on pitch one

Probably the worst strike zone I've seen all year. I thought we were supposed to see the best umps in the playoffs.

Good, a righty coming in. Get Ant, Peters and Beni back in

Why pull him already?! Day off tomorrow so it's not like this saves him for usage tomorrow.

Here's a crazy thought: say they pitch Hagen, Newcomb, Taylor, Hicks, and Feddy today. Each for about two innings. And it goes great. What's to stop them from doing the exact same thing on Monday and the exact same thing on Wednesday?!

Let's look at this in a positive way. Surely this is Castillo's last outing. Glad we are able to definitively decide that in a game even he couldn't blow rather than a closer, more important game a few days from now

From 8-2 to just about needing to consider running a position player out to the mound. Incredible

And that's a wrap on the 2026 Sox. They provided a lot of great entertainment this year. Hopefully roster is strengthened enough to get it over the finish line next year!
