Agree with what I have read thus far.
Sox simply weren't trending well heading into the playoffs. Be it injuries, bullpen fatigue, reliance on young - inexperienced bullpen arms...
Agree - pulled Gray way too early, and possibly Tolle too.
BUT - one thing I also noticed was that the Yankees were ready to hit pitches below the strike zone. Red Sox swung and missed on those same pitches. The Yankees preparation for this series was volumes better than ours. Hate to say it. Sox fan ever since Yaz took over for Ted.
