    No McCullers and our starters' short outings will Boston to see plenty of our bullpen

    Oh well. Being 2-1 down isn't the end of the world.

    Obvious to everyone this was an inadequate staff coming into October. Take a look around at the other starters for the teams left.

    These guys are blowing their load in 2 games. Our starting pitching prospects are sketchy but I wouldn’t call this series yet. For whatever the game score is, 2-1 in the series is nothing.

    Does Boston have any recent history of cheating?

    Surely the announcers will drop a hint

    There's something suspicious going on here...

    Seems far more likely than the statistical outlier.... all pitchers can't pitch all of a sudden and bad hitters for the red sox are hall of famers? Coincidence?

    MLB needs to look into this...

    whatever happened. This version of the Astros isn’t winning 3 of 4.
    If I was a Sox fan I would be laughing and yelling at my friends how much the Astros Suck.
    Is what it is.

    Your optimism is admirable I'll give you that bro. At this point you cant say they are "blowing their load". I thought that after game 2, will you think that after game 3 when it probably happens again?

    Losing McCullers was huge though. As bad as this staff is, Lance was a guy that might’ve gotten you two wins and then you just have to outslug them in two other games. Things look hopeless now.
