We'll see how it plays out.Played the Red Sox 6 games in the middle of the biggest hot streak in their history.What’s the point of acquiring Castillo if he can’t be competitive against a good team? Also, good luck to him throwing primarily high fastballs during the summer at the Rate

Cut the BS!!Not walking Abreu in the 9th with a righty up next, wasting your whole bench so early in the game, Jirschelle's awful send in extras Edited 47 minutes ago47 min by BigHurt3515

Starters don't regularly go beyond the 4th in the playoffs, and this was a playoff atmosphere.

48 minutes ago48 min Colson Montgomery does not belong in the major leagues. His at-bats have been just as bad (or maybe even worse) than Romo’s. Colson looks unfixable.
48 minutes ago48 min Hmmm wonder who they might sacrifice off the 40 to call up a pitcher who isn't on the 40.

If you acquire a supposed expensive as supposed ace that can’t serve as a stopper against a hot team, what was the point? Edited 47 minutes ago47 min by WhiteSox2023

Starters don't regularly go beyond the 4th in the playoffs, and this was a playoff atmosphere.Considering the main reason they got him was to give them innings, I have to laugh at the excuses for him only going 4 innings.

47 minutes ago47 min In the 12th, we get 3 hits and a walk and score 1. They get no hits and a wild pitch and score 1. That was that.Getz traded for a terrible Castillo, and, not surprisingly, he's still terrible. And moving Fedde to the pen has been a disaster. Except really for the catcher trade, these were trades just to make trades. And they were done on the other teams' terms....and he listens to these GMs who are trying to rip him off.
47 minutes ago47 min Entertaining game, result aside. Boston might win it all if they don't flame out before they get there.Can't be mad at the effort, but certainly lots of lessons to take away for the boys and the staff in what has to be the closest to a playoff game they've had this season. Better to learn them now than then.Frustrating to be one strike away so many times, technically never trailed until the walkoff RBI.But they didn't lose any ground in the meantime and still control their own fate.And on the bright side, feels like we could see McDougal (or Smith) tomorrow? Murphy will be the option casualty for a fresh arm.

Its one start if it continues to blow up then cool you win. He wasn't all that expensive and he wasn't an ace. You're blowing smoke up everyones ass.
