I agree. And the spiteful part of me sort of enjoys seeing stratagems like this blow up in the manager's face sometimes.
I love when a .240 hitter without much power gets beat by an 0-2 pitch but manages to hit a weak ground ball or pop up to the left side of the infield against an over shift on the right side of the diamond. I often think how if I were the pitcher how I would grab the manager by the throat at the end of the inning and tell him that I didn't need his help to get out the #8 hitter.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Cubs replaced their 3B coach with Butterfield. Um.....
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
Haha suckers.

Team must be desperate lol. In all seriousness they won a World Series last year and made it to the Conf finals against the best team in MLB. I am surprised they made much changes at all. I guess they lost that series pretty bad but still.
McCullers better stop throwing hanging curveballs.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Astros win out at this point. Has any team ever gone undefeated at home in a single postseason since divisional play started? Every team that swept the WS back when there was no LCS, obviously, but has anyone ever won every home game from DS through LCS all the way to the WS?

This city is going nutty!
No, the Stros set a record last night for 7th consecutive win
Wood vs. Morton, if Wood is on he's tough, if not long day for Dodgers. Before All-Star game he was 10-0 with a 1.67 era, after that just so-so, 6-3 with a 3.89 era.
Actually, they tied a record. I looked it up last night after I asked my question, out of curiosity. The 2008 Phillies went 7-0 at home in that postseason. The Astros will break that record, though, if they win out because the 2008 Phillies didn't go to 5 games in the DS or 7 in the NLCS or WS, so they had far less games to win at home.

I forgot the Sox signed Marwyn Gonzales in 2011 in the Rule 5 Draft, and dealt him to Houston, for Marco Duarte. That was a bad deal by Theo. We had our Brock Holt, didn't realize it.
