2 hours ago2 hr Just now, EloyJenkins said:No. My point is why risk trying to win the division when setting up your playoff rotation was the smarter move. Who starts game 1? It's almost an auto loss.Sox are playing with house money, no reason to be conservative with it. Take a big swing and see what happens. Plus, the rotation is in horrible shape, it's not like you have Bob Gibson at the top to ensure he is ready to go for game 1. Burke is burned out and wasn't ready to go on regular rest and he's the closest thing to a trustworthy starter right now. Sox will be using pitching chaos in the playoffs.

Some posts on here tonight that even I think are extreme.

2 hours ago2 hr 2 minutes ago, Jake said:I don't actually think there is much of a difference between Taylor and Smith. Very similar by the various metrics and Taylor has been given a much harder job constantly pitching multiple innings per appearance.Smith is definitely more lock down as a closer. He's just much more consistent. Taylor still has days where his control or stuff aren't there.

How is that not serious about winning?

2 hours ago2 hr Well they gave it a shot but hard to beat a team that's now won 23 of their last 33 games. Cleveland does what Cleveland does.You just wonder what may have happened had Taylor been able to get that final strike/final out in Cleveland which would have pushed their lead up to 2 1/2 games. It is what it is. Didn't realize Cleveland has now won the division seven times in the last 11 years. That's damn impressive especially for a smaller market. Play well Sunday give the home fans a good end to the regular season and get ready for Tuesday.
2 hours ago2 hr The Sox being mid after 3 100 loss seasons is crazy but the 2007 66-win Rays team, who won 97 games in 08 and went to the WS is a much bigger accomplishment and more impressive

Rather make sure he doesn’t tweak anything going into postseason.

Most likely the 1 PM games is my guess.Yankees and Red Sox will get the 7 PM slot. Padres will get the late game if they are hosting the Cubs. If the Cubs host, then I bet they get the 3 PM slot.
