excellent post, I agree the biggest problem with the plan, and maybe it was a decent plan, we'll never know the best plan, but the problem was ditching the changeup. I never felt he had a feel for his stuff after the hamstring. Maybe that was the injury, maybe it was lack of usage, maybe it was both or something else or whatever. Post more.

They fucked it up. Babied him too much.

You will never see a 6 man rotation. Too much disruption to the routine. Now I would start using Kopech and Crochet as headliners. These guys need innings man. Kopech was coddled all year and instead of peaking he was arguably at his worst at the end. That plan didn't work.

Watch Bulls and Michigan?

Rays got defeated too. Sometimes you just don't look good in a short series. That said, Sox clearly have major holes. Getting a defensive catcher, a starting RF and more SP are at the top of the list.

Bad body language, team has packed it in.

Yea, he's failed. I've said all year it's pass fail based on post season. Well he failed. Thanks for the division title and a fun regular season, but you failed to have the team ready and made some questionable decisions as well.

Time to move on from TLR, and find some better players as well.

need a bomb.

team has to get out of its own way.

just gave them that shit.

this looks like little league.

we need a miracle, not giving up but we need some luck.

we don't have a lot of good options. the players are fucking up not much the manager can do. sure maybe you go with Tapera but then what? We got 18 more outs to cover.

the astros lineup is a fucking machine.

they've been dogshit. the one area we had on paper as an advantage was SP, so much for that.

kopech isn't the answer right now he looks gassed already.

they have all the momentum again, blood in the water and they smell it.

bloop and a blast please.

he's just out there acing guys.

mcculers is the difference in this series, our guys don't have a clue.

wow thought they might have a case, let's go get some offense going!

he's safe, god damnit.

nice play!

jesus christ man. we cannot fucking throw strikes.
