Or number 3, they were a good team that was simply young and ultimately ran out of gas.

I would agree with that. Pretty young team and hit a wall in September

The Castillo trade killed us. Made us worse, poorer and precluded getting a better starting pitcher.

sounds good on paper but the shoulda woulda coulda, we have no idea. Maybe teams didn't want to give them a starter. It's not like the farm had anything since they are on the team. Plenty of speculation with no proof. Not sure the Sox are an organization that can fix Castillo.

If you can’t score 2-3 runs, it doesn’t matter anyways.

Runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1st base open in that game. Why wouldn’t you walk him?

I think Chase is the best second baseman in the AL.

Won’t argue that, but I don’t think he’s going to improve too much on this year’s numbers

earlier this game before homer

As I said, just make the other guys beat you. They can't

It has been an absolute pleasure this season gentleman. Let's keep it going. Do or Die. Time is now. LFG.

Walking bottom of the line up hitters, led to line up rotation bringing up Kwan, Ramirez and Adell, their best hitters who hurt us.

Kay hitting Martinez was brutal

Will Sox remain only team not to win a elimination game?

Oh I was referring to the game 3 f*** up….yeah no way you walk him and put runners on 1st and 2nd and have no outs…

Just last year, these same players don't execute that force out at home, or get out of the inning without giving up runs.

Where the F was this pitching the past two games?

And a lead in both game 3 and 4

In the 6th inning in game 4 too.

Here comes the half inning that becomes a White Sox legend.

mostly for defense

Our pitching has been very good tonight. Good enough to win if our hitters had better at bats. Too bad we could not get this pitching performance in games 3 or 4 at home. 😢😢

I can see your point about Sammy. I'm pretty high on Braden. He needs to make some swing adjustments. I also think putting on some muscle wouldn't hurt him. I do think Chase can be a Pedroia type player. I think that's his potential. And he won an MVP. I think he can hit for more power without selling out. And I think he'll learn that over time. Also Vargas has not come close to hitting the peak of his powers IMO. He's a future 30/30 guy. Hes going to be a perennial MVP candidate.

Acuna steals home to go up 3-2

Blowing a 6 game division lead on the Guardians, and then a 2-0 series lead with home field advantage IS an epic choke job regardless of whether this is a "real" playoff team whatever the hell that means. They were here, so they were real. As is the choke job.
