He usually only loves football but starting asking me about the Sox. I told him that if there’s any team that can blow a 2-0 lead in a 5 game series, it’s the Sox.
19 hours ago19 hr Can’t blame any one but the guys on offense. They blew this serious and this game.They struck out 50% of time almost, it’s impossible to win when you do that.
19 hours ago19 hr 2 minutes ago, Soxfest said:BM is not automatically the starting RF next year. Guy needs a lot of work and is not ready offensively.I'll be honest, outside of Chase/Sam/Miggy/Teel/Mune, no one should be automatic anything. I don't even love Mune after the collapse, but he is 100% going to be out there.

It was an embarrassing loss with the strikeouts.That said I still feel like a lot of you are soft. “Oh no we lost in the ALDS let’s trade everyone that didn’t play well waaah”.I’m pretty damn bummed right now but I have to admit I’m really enjoying these crashouts.

Also only hit 2 homers all series despite all the Ks. It's one thing if you're hitting homers with the Ks. It's another to get no benefit from swinging for the fences every time.

Hagen showed he has something big to contribute.But their staff was an inch deep. So you can definitely overhaul the bottom of the pitching staff but I actually feel damn good building it up around them.I do still wish we could try to convert taylor.Taylor needs to improve his slider or to add a sweeper/cuttersuccessful two pitch starters are quite unusualoutside of guys like Contreras Buehrle Johan Santana

19 hours ago19 hr 6 minutes ago, Chick Mercedes said:They were aggressive all year. I guess they felt like dying with the sword. The team will evolve, add some new blood and reload. I feel confident that by 2028 the latest they will be a powerhouseProblem is you need to evolve to take the series. They lost and unprepared.
19 hours ago19 hr 4 minutes ago, Green Line said:I realized the team was kind of bad in late June, early July. It was still a fun season but I had a nagging fear in my head it was going to end in massive embarrassment. They tried to do it in the regular season but the historically bad AL saved them.We made the ALDS and lost in game 5. You are all soft.

They'll get exposed now facing quality pitching with teams that can score runs.The typical score in the TB vs CLE series will be something like 4-2 TB on top. I don't expect many high scoring games but TB will definitely send Cleveland packing.4-1 TB advancesYou saw what Cleveland can do on offense when we don't walk them 20 times over 2 games. They scored 2 runs on a fluke homer. Tampa should walk all over these guys.

19 hours ago19 hr 4 minutes ago, Soxfest said:BM is not automatically the starting RF next year. Guy needs a lot of work and is not ready offensively.I agree, he started off having a good batting approach but as the season progressed, chasing too many balls out of the strike zone. And his lack of power is pretty alarming.
19 hours ago19 hr 18 minutes ago, caulfield12 said:then the whole team is except Vargas peters Antonacci MeidrothComing out of the season with a pretty solid positional player core in Teel, Droth, Vargs, Ant-man and Peters. Colson, Braden and Mune need a new approach. Nice bullpen, and they have about 10 starters to work with behind Burke. Sucks they lost like this. It could be a great building block.
19 hours ago19 hr Lol at match ups being the problem. This team just destroyed strike out records. Like it mattered if you struck out RvsL or Lvs L
