October 19, 20214 yr Red Sox/Braves was the only watchable World Series for me after the DS, so I’m ok with this so far.
October 19, 20214 yr Maybe, just maybe, the Astros were t that good and the White Sox had a different issue?
October 19, 20214 yr I feel embarrassed that the White Sox looked overmatched by HOU and the Red Sox are making them look weak, SMH

October 19, 20214 yr Today the Red Sox are revealing they were better all along…or maybe it’s just that the hot team wins

October 19, 20214 yr Surprised at the overreaction on here about what Boston going up 2-1 in the series means for the WSox, in relation to their performance. McCullers was the difference maker in the series and facing him twice in four games was a bad break.

McCullers was the difference maker in the series and facing him twice in four games was a bad break. Absolutely. And that turd they threw tonight would've been the starter in Game 4 in Chicago, without the rainout. So this thing would've gone 5 games, with (you guessed it) Lance McCullers starting Game 5 and having to save Houston's bacon. I think we'd look at our series a lot differently under that circumstance.
October 19, 20214 yr You guys are conveniently forgetting that the Astros lineup looked like Murderers' Row against our pitchers in every game except for game 3. The Astros lineup so far look pretty pedestrian vs Boston pitching compared to how they looked against us. Edited October 19, 20214 yr by MexSoxFan#1

October 19, 20214 yr I don’t believe the current Sox team would have beaten any of the four AL playoff teams. My disappointment is toward the free agents targeted and signed the past two seasons, versus high upside guys like Schwarber, instead settling for rubbish like Parrot and Eaton.

Lot easier to have focused, tough at bats in a close game instead of being down 6-0 or 8-0 early in games
October 19, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, fathom said: Makes me want the Sox to go after Chris Taylor Oh, no!!! That would DEFINITELY be the end of Leury. Coming off a hot playoffs after cooling at the end of the year, it will be interesting to see what he (Taylor) gets...should obviously be more than 1 year and $8.3 million, something like 2 years and roughly $20-24 million. That said, he's one full year older than Kike Rodriguez.

It wouldn't have been AS EASY to get Schwarber from the Cubs two years ago...but I guess we'll never know if 1) the Sox inquired, or 2) what the price for either Bryant or Schwarber would have been. Would have been an easy and quick solve for our LH/RH imbalance.

Wanted Schwarber in LF, Eloy at DH, Springer in RF. Both were reasonable deals.

McCullers was the difference maker in the series and facing him twice in four games was a bad break. That's certainly an interesting way of looking at it. Not having to face McCullers at all in a series is definitely catching a break. But having to face the ace of a staff twice in a series is not a bad break. I believe that's just called the playoffs.
October 19, 20214 yr Altuve's been making errors left and right but looked like a 5x gold glove winner against us.
