Please don't.

I honestly think they don't want other teams or the media to bring that up. It's a distraction.

Alright boys the season was fun, even if it ended like shit. I'm off to Maui tomorrow. At least I can enjoy Hawaii without thinking about the Sox constantly.

This is what happens when you do nothing but hit grounders.

Gavin Sheets apparently learned how to hit a curveball recently. You gotta give him a look next year as the main DH.

Alvarez hit a slider for a homer off Lopez.

Gotta think it was probably all of it.

Welp I guess we shoulda plunked him

Yeah, but Cease still has a ways to go to become a top end starter. Robert doing what he did despite losing a lot of his speed was definitely encouraging. This team needs pieces to take it to the next level. I think our lack of playoff experience really showed. Our starters looked amazing for one inning and then once the adrenaline wore off they crapped their pants. At the very least it's an experience for guys like Cease and even Lucas.

We still would have needed to beat them to get out of the AL.

Yeah it was real disappointing. 2nd half outside of a few moments was a slog and boring af. It felt like winning 2 or 3 games a week would be a good week for this team during August and September. The lack of development from Kopech and Crochet to be starters next year was disappointing. Eloy was awful after August and took a step back from his season in 2020. Moncada, while having a good year, lost most of his power and a lot of his value was based on walks and defense. We just weren't good enough.

Dusty and TLR hate each other.

If Ruiz or Lopez are in, someone definitely is.

I called it.

That was on purpose.

I don't think Gabe Kapler is who he thinks he is.

No strikeouts for Kimbrel the whole series. For someone who was striking out 15 per 9, that's terrible.

What does Grandal have to do with any of that though? If they hit someone on purpose it'll probably be Abreu.

Tim at C. Grandal at SS.

Why?

Ugh now we're gonna throw at someone in the 9th aren't we?

Jesus Christ Brantley fucking stole a base? This is just embarrassing.

He was talking about outfield defense though.

lmao awesome positioning guys

Is this the opposite of what Gruden said?
