11 hours ago11 hr From @ESPNInsights: The Jose Ramirez home run was 0.89 feet above the ground as it crossed home plate. It's the lowest pitch he's hit for a home run in his MLB career. It's also the lowest pitch anyone has hit for a postseason home run in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008).

At least make pitchers work, not strike out as much.

11 hours ago11 hr At this rate, I think I’d be content with them getting a single hit and NOT allowing the strikeout record against them.

We usually struggle against the elite pitchers.everyone struggles vs elite pitching, but you cannot run the same type of offense vs elite pitching that you do vs average/below average pitching, you cannot chase and whiff this much and it's the whole damn lineup

11 hours ago11 hr Is the game plan crap around by getting Williams’ pitch count up there and get him out of the game? Then they have to face their closer which isn’t ideal either. Though I think he pitched multiple innings over a few days and Williams pitched in the 9th last game. Doesn’t seem like any of that matters.

Kwan hit a bloop single and Adell hit was a joke.

11 hours ago11 hr 1 minute ago, almagest said:So does every team... that's why they're elite...Yeah nobody is gonna be great against the elite pitchers, but some teams are comparatively better than others against them. Against top 25 percentile pitchers this year, the Sox were 2nd to last in wRC+. Foolish Bailey had a whole video on this about the Brewers and the Sox were right there with them at beating up bad pitching but struggling against good pitching.
11 hours ago11 hr 4 minutes ago, joejoesox said:this type of offense doesn't work vs good pitching, you need to get these guys to change their approach yet they continue to do the exact same thing every single at batMost teams don't do well vs. good pitching. You can coach these guys all you want. When they're in the box, can't tell what's coming, and swing at a pitch at their eyes, that's not coaching.
11 hours ago11 hr If Burke can shut them down here in a quick inning, the Sox may have a chance to finally get to Williams and come back. But if they fall further back, it's just about over. C'mom Burke!
