promise to keep my negativity to myself today, I can't promise a healthy dose of unbearable shitposting tomorrow if the Sox don't show up today tho a win changes everything

you will know if Vaughn is having good at bats after the first 3 pitches he sees. when he's going good he's swinging at fastballs, when he's going bad he's swinging at sliders in 2 strike counts

Lot of pressure on Lucas here. On one hand it shouldn't all be put on one guy to shut down a team that's incredibly hard to beat in their home park. On the other hand, his start last year in Oakland for his first post season appearance gives some hope, not to mention his career #s vs Houston I didn't go into this series with high hopes so a loss here doesn't come out of nowhere for me, with that said if he can go deep into the game I like their chances They gotta start changing up the signs, going out there putting down 1/2/3 just shows this team has no clue what they're doing when playing Houston at home. Even NYY totally changed up their signs vs BOS

how do you think they're gonna use Lynn next time out? you obviously can't start him again in Houston, shut the hell up if you think otherwise

we will see what I know and don't know on Saturday, +1600 on Wilder by decision

it's pretty funny, these guys act as if you choke up on the bat it means you have a small dick

I only bet on boxing, does baseball not allow you to just pick a winner? what were the odds on Houston to just win the game?

whoever bet on this game for Houston to win at -130 made some serious money today

sox get to play with pressure for the first time all year tomorrow

roof closed

we will see if the Sox learn from this in GM4 (if the Astros are up 2-1). Lynn cannot start in elimination games vs HOU, they need to do something different

I know Cease didn't pitch well vs HOU but I'd go with him far and away before Lynn again, Lynn should only pitch again behind a 3IP bullpen start if the Sox have a healthy lead, he can't be allowed to start another game and give up 3 or 4 early runs. if that plays out again, it just shows that this org isn't serious about fixing mistakes at all,and have their heads firmly in the sand

tigers broadcast said TLR has run circles around other managers late in games this year fwiw, idk what he was talking about specifically other than bullpen usage in the 6th and getting mgrs to waste bench ABs

This might've been why they went with Lynn in GM1 , like that is a realistic scenario tbh. I would've went Ropech GM2 and Giolito GM1 but it looks like it would r have mattered who pitched today as these guys came totally unprepared to face this guy

Framber is gonna look like Carson Fulmer in comparison to McCullers

low paid interns sorry, "coaches"

this

Crochet will get 1 inning to keep him fresh, he isn't gonna wait until the Sox finally show up in a game late to bring in a rookie

getting him some work more like, Kopech will pitch tomorrow at some point.

they look like a team who doesn't half a fucking clue why they can't hit this guy. a team with real coaches would've prepared them for what to expect vs McCullers, Sox are C grade in that Dept. Not saying coaches makes this lineup win the game, but they wouldn't look like they have NO CLUE what's going on

he comes across as partly douchebag partly a guy who left town on bad terms and is getting his digs in, I can't be the only person who hears this?

Sheets should've been given a longer look at DH when Yermin started to struggle

it's less about the talent and more about the coaching and training staff imo, they've hired a bunch of overpaid interns to run this team apparently. night and day compared to the cre of the AL

man, the talent gap is enormous

Ropech shouldve been GM2.
