Another day of rest for Rodon, but who knows about his control or stuff. Believe he will be camped in the first like Cease, but then will have to level out if there's any chance to get 4-5 out of him.

Disagree. It was never going to be a good fit, and we said so (Ray Ray was another one, probably the most vocal) over those first few days after the deal was consummated.

This game is showcasing the importance of guys like Tepera and Bummer if properly utilized...as well as that glue guy like Jimmy Cordero who can be used in almost any situation. Also, no idea what to expect out of Kopech as a starter next season. Just have to cross our fingers, and add at least one more veteran starter as insurance because we won't have the health we did this year with our rotation.

AJ questioning LaRussa again...about usage of two closers.

Interesting strike zone...but we'll take it.

Would definitely take 3-4 Teperas over one Kimbrel.

Let Houston stay in this one...only a five hour game pace set here so far.

more seeing eye singles..

Gotta move those runners into scoring position somehow...

Just wow...

Shades of AJ trickery by Grandal...

Thought that was a surefire DP ball off the bat...

Strangest looking play there...have a bit of a delay here, so thought Bregman or Alvarez homered with the tenor of the comments. Greinke for Abreu?

Feels like they have already played one game already from an emotional standpoint....nice choice of Motley Crue song there, lol.

The idea Kopech was going to dominate in Game 2 is quickly fading away...

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.
