    Or a 2004 Sox, or 2007 Sox, or 2013 Sox, or 2018 Sox.

    The Yankees of the 21st century.

    They won't pick up *any* of them, or resign Correa. Flexibility, though. Always, flexibility.

    lol yep, oh well. Kills us for G4. Basically at this point we are banking on 3 guys struggling winning 3 games in a row.

    Exactly this.

    Yes, our offense is lethal. Yes, we have heavy hitters. But that doesn’t mean much when your pitching is giving up grand slams every game.

    Those were not competitive pitches. The Sox could pick it up and spit on them. Would love to be wrong about that.

    Also lost in that Verdugo AB that ended up in a walk was the foul ball that Bregs couldn't get to because he was shifted. Just crap luck.

    This series is over. Astros starters are pitching scared. Vaunted offense is gone.

    Seen this movie before. Blame Dusty if you want, It is the players playing like scared b****es.

    The Astros came in as the heels of Baseball.

    Like all Heels, they are written to lose.

    When McCullers went down that was huge. A lot of people thought the Astros still had enough but it's tough running into a hot lineup like this with no one close to an ace/stopper to calm things.

    Lmaoo the team’s payroll continues to increase year and year and you call the man cheap? Imagine having an owner like Cal McNair. You’d definitely be crying and wishing Crane was back.

    Might as well let Correa go. We have to use that money for pitching.

    I don't hate the Astros for cheating, I hate them for being stupid enough to get caught and cowardly enough to apologize for it and fire those responsible.

    Our pitching is absolutely horrific. And, our batting ? Alvarez, Bregman, Maldy, even Tucker has gone south some. Not encouraging.
