Without question Lynn starts game one in the playoffs. 

Depending on how Carlos looks in October, I'd definitely go with Rodon if it's against the Astros. Lynn's history against Houston isn't pretty.

Know your personnel. Lynn isn't the pitcher who's going to nibble all AB. Sometimes you have to take the decision out of a players hands.

I don’t disagree. I’m just saying he left the decision to Lynn, who he REALLY knows and Lynn and Selby screwed up

So Tony fears Nelson Cruz more than Matt Olson and Vlad Jr

Having Gio as a Game 3 starter in the playoffs is insanely impressive.

Maybe they wanted the unintentional intentional walk there, and see if Vlad got himself out, but he's also one of the best hitters in baseball and his dad is the best bad ball hitter maybe ever, so...

So you know that, and put him on.

Montoyo is smart for throwing all these sinker ballers against us.

.198 hitting Nelson Cruz with the Rays.

That’s a really bad at bat for Eloy

Yawn..... Grandpa not waking this team up

He feared Cruz so much that he put the winning run in scoring position to avoid facing him!!

Once again our approaches are just so bad

Maybe even a worse follow up from Yoan somehow

Tony's been in a cryo tank for a while

Basically, all you need to know about the 'offense'.

Followed by another amazing at bat by Yoan as a righty, and now we have Goodwin facing a LHP.

You're wasting your time.  Anything and everything that goes wrong is TLR's fault, end of story.

If someone can get me an extra of those sugar skull bobbleheads, i definitely will pay for that! Seriously.

Laughable AB's by Eloy, yoan, and Goodwin

Actually he fears Albert Pujols more.

Tony can't keep hitting Yoan and Goodwin back to back. Both are god awful vs. lefties.

Dude he pitched to Vlad with an open base and two outs. He keeps letting the best player on other team hurt the Sox.

Abreu extending his lead, major league leading 22nd GIDP.

The fact that we can't hit is not on TLR
