  1. I don't want to say too much because things tend to blow up in your face in this sport when you do, but I don't understand using Lynn today when the Astros struggle more against off-speed pitches than fastballs.  I know Lynn has overall been arguably a bit better than Giolito this season but  Giolito seems like a more troubling matchup against our lineup with his changeup.   With staff-ace Rodon being obviously questionable (velo down >4 mph in his last appearance), if I were in the Sox shoes' I'd want to maximize Giolito's innings this series.

    Look… I understand the need for some of us to temper our expectations so that we don’t have to experience a full measurement of disappointment if things don’t go the way we hope.  But this team has earned your confidence.  If you aren’t willing to show it, go ahead and jump off the bandwagon now.  You don’t deserve to revel in the glory when it comes.  
     

    Astros in 4 and then we get revenge on the Rays for last year in 6.     
     

    Then the boys win one for Carlos, Dusty, and Greinke on the big stage against whoever comes out of the NL.  

    I think the Sox will be a bigger hurdle than the Rays, if we face them.  Hopefully Lance has it tomorrow as being down 0-1 facing Giolito will be tough.

    You got Fozzz’d. 

    He’s a good hitter that’s also not particularly good against low breaking balls. To look it up, he has a .283 xwOBA this season against those kind of pitches. I don’t know why you’re following me around like a lost puppy.
