Makes some sense after dogging it in the OF.

Nah Eloy Should be primary DH next season.

Yep. And I think he will. He hates this more than all of us. It’s in there tho and that’s the biggest hurdle. People talking about trading him coming off 21 are nuts.

You’re not selling high tho. Eloy going nowhere.

LOL

Offseason is needed for Eloy. Hope he figures some stuff out before April.

Shrug. It’s one thing in the regular season games that don’t matter. Another today.

Is it just me or did it look like Luis was coasting that half inning? The single looked potentially catchable with a good break and while he had no chance, he completely dogged the rbi single getting it back in.

Hopefully he is aware and we see some generous calls down the stretch. Certainly deserve it.

I certainly noticed that as well. Was just an enormous turning point in the game. Carlos could have easily been out of that inning without a run.

Let go boys. We’ve done it before, we can do it again. But it’s gotta start here with the top! Crooked number and go from there. Plenty of ABs left

It’s a 2 run game.

Absolutely have to find a way out this inning 3-1. Cannot allow another run.

Pretty fucking big missed calls.

Sure seemed like Carlos got squeezed that inning. We're always going to need more than 1 run. Let's get it back RIGHT NOW

It was always obvious today was going to be a major step down from Sunday night. Weekday day game playoff games are absolute horseshit.

To be fair, there are a solid # of regular posters who fit this description.

I think he'll be available if he's needed, but looks like TLR is saving him to piggyback Gio tomorrow if needed.

Dude your team was quite literally caught cheating. Not everyone is/was banging trash cans and using buzzers. Stop making excuses. Your team is a giant asterisk and at the end of its run. Now respectfully, GTFOH.

Can’t wait to kick your pathetic cheating teams ass the next two days.

Huh? $2M? Its such a no-brainer tender, its not even a decision.

Conforto should be target 1A. Prior to this season, he was easily looking at a 5/$120M+ type deal. I think you could get him on a deal similar to slightly below Yaz (3-4 years at $15-18M AAV). He would be a great fit in this lineup, and doesn't force you to find a lefty stick at 2B, in which there are far less options.

Sox need to aim much higher.

I personally don't see that as the case. Sox hit around Valdez decently enough in game 2 and will be seeing him again 2nd time in less than week Wed. I think the Astros were damn near 4/1 favorites in a potential game 5 in Houston with McCullers on the mound. They're probably still favorites with Valdez vs. Giolito, but much closer to 50/50. Game 4 is probably pretty close to 50/50 as well with Rodon vs. McCullers. So I think this decision hurts the Astros chances slightly overall, even if its only slightly. It also hurts their rotation set up for the ALCS if they were to advance. I get going for the win in game 4 in their case. I understand the decision. But I do think it favors the Sox slightly. They had to beat McCullers regardless, and his dominance is going to (hopefully) be thwarted by the Sox HFA. At least that is what i am going with the next 18 hours. Choosing to be positive. Friday had me down in the dumps, but we have very real life.

For a $2.2M on Engel? Easy tender. Marshall is a coin flip, probably. But I think they'll tender him. Goodwin is a goner. ReyLo has earned a spot, crazy enough. He was a no brainer non-tender a couple months ago. Good on him. Excited to get Jimmy back. I am a fan. Fry still has an option. They'll keep him around for $1Mish.
