From playing the O's and then facing the Yankems; from facing the worst pitching in MLB and then facing some of the best pitching. This will have to require a big adjustment by the SOX. Like going from batting practice to real game pitching.
Billy Bob Thornton would be the perfect manager for the O's. He would just sit in the corner of the dugout with his whiskey in a Coke can and stay drunk.
Let's say the catcher calls for a curve and it hangs over the plate; is it the catcher's bad call? Can we please sometimes give blame to the pitcher? Also, when a pitcher misses the target by a foot, whose fault is that?
