Colson absolutely falling apart and Braden not doing much are other factors. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

Colson absolutely falling apart and Braden not doing much are other factors.The players failed for sure. They scored enough to win game 4 and the pitching failed. If they struck out 75 times and moved on because someone hit a 3 run homer on Saturday, it wouldn't matter as much how the outs were made. I wouldn't make any sweeping decisions based on the the playoffs though.

The last two games of the playoffs were awful but the writing was on the wall in August in September that things were not going as planned.How nothing was done with Colson Montgomery to address the fact he was about set the all time record was concerning.

It's what all the cool kids are doing these days. Smoking is out, contrarianism is in.
