10/6 ALDS @ Astros

[Station 13]

After missing the playoffs 2 years in a row and an epic collapse though. 2011 was the year that f***ed us. Francona and Epstein gone in one fell swoop.

 

Farrell had 2 last place finishes. He was saved by the bell.

[OH FOY]

Not even swinging at strikes unreal.

[TylerD]

It's like the pitching doesn't even need to try against us.

[Station 13]

As sad as this sounds, I really would start Porcello over Fister. I realize Porcello is a torch job, but maybe lightning in a bottle in one more playoff outing to decide his fate. Fister? I can see 4-run 1st inning and it's over quick.

 

No, Porcello is a groove it down the middle pitcher. Fister really is crafty and works the corners and gets weak contact.

[Station 13]

Mookie completely join the non competitive club with that swing.

[dannycater]

To be fair, Verlander and Keuchel are Cy Young guys...all there are out there are Cy Young guys on both teams.

[dannycater]

If the Sox hit one home run in this playoff, I'd take that. one, just one lousy HR. to give Hanram credit, he was also looking for a walk earlier in the game v. Dallas. It's not like these guys are looking to drive a ball for their team. NO f***ING POWER.

[dannycater]

ORTIZ, WHY DID YOU RETIRE??? WHY?? ....just kidding.

[OH FOY]

Too hard to tip your cap. your a Keuchel!

DD why did you let EE go to the Guardians?

[greenwell]

is young still going to bat

[TheXandyManCan]

One hitter isn't going to change anything. Their approach just isn't going to work the way baseball is these days.

[d-money]

Pathetic showing. This team doesn't have nothing to show. I thought they would at least show more after last year but nope.

[jacksonianmarch]

Man, the sox look entirely dead

[TheXandyManCan]

Take a hittable strike- chase a ball

[d-money]

Something has to change don't you think? They have to shake things up. Are they gonna come back next year with the same ********.

[TheXandyManCan]

it almost feels like an accomplishment hitting something in the air

[d-money]

Someone needs to tell me why Farrell deserves to keep his job. These players need to be held accountable as well. Get rid of some of them as well!

[OH FOY]

A walk gets me a boner.

[TylerD]

Something has to change don't you think? They have to shake things up. Are they gonna come back next year with the same ********.

 

Absolutely something has to change...... This is completely pathetic. 3 runs in 15 damn innings is absolutely unacceptable. What is the point in making the playoffs only to be swept 2 years in a friggin row.

[d-money]

Pedroia and X have been terrible in this series!

[a700hitter]

Our offense is horrible. We all knew it, and DD din't fix it.

Accomplish very little with two division titles. Someone mentioned the Detroit tigers once again.

[TylerD]

Why the hell doesn't Price get one more inning? Guy has been absolutely solid and only played not even 3 innings. Pretty sure we could give him another inning.

[OH FOY]

Going for the kill.

[jacksonianmarch]

The ERod pen experiment ain’t starting well

[TheXandyManCan]

Unsteady Eddy will ensure this won't end up a 3 run contest

[TylerD]

Yup its garbage. Even had Sale and Poms been on point both games would have made very little difference unless they had basically a no hitter.

[jacksonianmarch]

Because you need him for game 3

Maybe it's time to admit the Guardians last year and the Astros this year are just better. Name a position player for the Sox who would start for this year's Astros. Betts probably. Perhaps Vazquez, because he's better defensively than anything the Astros have and with the rest of that line-up they could carry whatever weakness he might have with the bat. Devers would probably still be at AAA in the Houston organization. I don't see anyone else that would be a regular in Houston.
