Kopech is really jacked up now...can't afford a walk and another momentum shift.

Let's see if LaRussa can make the right strategic decisions this game...Baker will be blasted for bringing in the reliever with a 2-0 count.

Garcia just got himself a lifetime contract if the Sox somehow survive this series.

The Sox aren't going to give $18~20 million to a 2B. If we had no SS, it would be one thing...

Wow, changing in the middle of the count...has TLR done that all season?

Really changed the momentum for the Sox in 2012...for 5 1/2 months.

The crazy thing is that Contreras was the best pitcher in baseball at that point but beaten by Paul Bryd of all people.

Kimbrel definitely helped make it 9~4.

Need to rest their arms for writing those 2022 season ticket renewal checks...

Irrelevant without Rodon...at least we care bury the storyline Kopech would have dominated Game 2 for multiple innings on the road.

And Red Sox just walked it off. Christian Vasquez homer in 13th.

Can't believe I'm switching the channel to an actual competitive game when the Sox are in the postseason...

That was just a very typical Anderson play...and that's probably game, set and match. Kopech doesn't match up well against the Astros, either.

Or at least Drake LaRoche. "They have electric arms over there but still have to throw the ball across the plate." Story of the 2021 Sox bullpen.

Here we are again, asking pitchers to do something they haven't done...not surprised, though. Just disappointed.

Now they just look flat as driving through Nebraska or Kansas. Initial burst of energy has quickly dissipated.

Not convinced Kopech will hold them scoreless if he gets behind in counts, either.

And that was without MVP form Quentin down the stretch.

Of course, the Astros will go 1-2-3 after the crooked number knocking the crowd back in their seats the rest of the game...

Sounds like the typical message board comment after losing nearly every season to the Twins...especially in the Metrodome.

So much for the argument next season that Cease can be counted on in the playoffs. We better get at least one more starter to go along with Lopez and Lambert. Or Rodon comes back into the Sox price range due to missing so much time late with no structural issues, just general fatigue and soreness.

Apparently LaRussa thinks it's a good idea to push his luck.

You'd like to think Carlos Rodon in first half form could have given them a much better battle.

Where is RayRay now? So tired about hearing how Cease statistically was the #22 starter in baseball or whatever the argument was...

Once again, you can get away with this in the AL Central but not against a team like the Astros. They are taking advantage of every opportunity.
