10/6 ALDS @ Astros

[d-money]

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

 

We have seen teams with no boppers accomplish stuff in the playoffs! This group's pathetic! A bunch of stiffs!

[TylerD]

Because you need him for game 3

 

This game isn't totally out of reach right now. But if E-Rod keeps playing like this it will be.

[d-money]

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.

 

Yes they're good teams but this team looks dead. I see no fight in them.

I fully agree Cleveland and Houston are much better but getting swept back to back seasons still shocks me. Not saying we have been swept yet but it's looking like a very good possibility. Considering we beat Houston 3 times in the regular season you would at least think we have the talent to give them a good series and win maybe one game..... especially with Sale and Poms pitching. Game 1 we looked horrible outmatched and it's starting to look that way in game 2 as well.

The Astros are a better team, few will doubt that. It’s the fact that the sox just look dejected from the time the Stros puked ahead 4-2 yesterday and it’s carried over into today

[TheXandyManCan]

What a s*** show..........farrell must go

[jacksonianmarch]

Betts with an error. Wow

[a700hitter]

The irony of that play was that Betts did not have to throw the ball. A good fake would have been more than enough.

[TheXandyManCan]

The knockout blow...................what a joke

[OH FOY]

On to the Yankee game.

[jacksonianmarch]

And the killshot. Wow

[dannycater]

At least the Sox can say they won back-to-back division titles.

[TheXandyManCan]

Keep teeing it up for them- what to they expect hanging breaking balls and throwing fastballs right over the middle

[jacksonianmarch]

8 runs in back to back games. Awful

Why can't we compete with those teams? The pitching once again has been a joke for this team. We can blame the innings pitch or whateva but it's lame. This happens when you don't take care of business in the division and try to win it as early as possible.

[dannycater]

Tell me again how Addison Reed doesn't sort of remind you of Mark Melancon?

[a700hitter]

As NY Sportscaster Warner Wolf used to say --after the first inning HR by Correa "you could have turned off your TVs right there."

[dannycater]

Because Farrell sits everyone, and everyone is used to taking days off...there is no fight in a starting lineup that changes every day...every single day.

[OH FOY]

They didn't have their full line-up last week. Were lucky we clinched in that 1 game.

[d-money]

Farrell needs to go. His teams show up with no heart or energy. These players need to look in the mirror as well

[TheXandyManCan]

Giving up this many runs is just unacceptable when you rely so much on pitching. Of course the offense could have helped a bit.

[illinoisredsox]

See what happens when you are actually committed to hitting the first pitch if it's in your wheelhouse

[BstHcpr]

Couldn't stick with Price?

[Meh]

I have a feeling the Sox will trade some of their young major league talent for Stanton this off season and sign Hosmer for 1B.

[dannycater]

The better team doesn't always win...but if you can't hit for power and your best pitchers can't pitch under pressure...going back to last year v. Cleveland...not much you can do. Francona goes to Bauer and gets a shutdown performance. Sox they go to...Fister? Ugh.

[NativeBostonian]

Farrell can’t survive this. Boston fans aren’t going to have it.

[Station 13]

Couldn't stick with Price?

 

he might start game 3.

[d-money]

Talk about two complete s*** shows back to back years. Farrell needs the pink slip!

[dannycater]

Manufacturing runs no longer matters...hitting HRs matter. So get home run hitters..agreed.

Cleveland will shut this offense down. That's the sad part.
