Why? I have no idea. But the TLR defenders will tell you that he knows what he was doing and how to get ready for the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi talented future star, capable of wrecking multiple careers! Â And...yeah. I f$%king hate this Houston team. But...they are more built for this right now. Pitching, definitely consistent hitting. We're limping into the post-season with guys who didn't even play most of the season, pitching is riding on fumes and magic dust, slumps....yeah. Just hope we can show some life in game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are winning 6-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have played just like they have the whole second half. The fing Astros look like a team expecting to win this in 3 straight. It's a must win tomorrow. We will see what this team is really made of.  Yeah, reminiscent of the Sox game 1 ALDS in 05, except opposite today. And we all know how that series turned out.

Flash Tizzle Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 This isn’t the time for moral victories or pushing the perception of Tony’s boys not giving up. Their approach to McCullers is showing everything we need to know. They think they’re done today. Throw out Cuckel to finish the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking Kris Bryant level. Now will they do that is the question? That remains to be seen. Edited October 7, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox should look at every starting position player on their roster and ask would this guy start for the Astros, Rays, Doders, Giants. etc. Engel and Leury are resounding no's. Same (obliviously) goes for Cesar and he was their plan A plan at 2B for this year and next, which obliviously isn't good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
