2021 Red Sox postseason thread

[captain insano]

oh boy. this sucks.

 

[sb1]

Yeah… really would be nice to try getting Alvarez out sometime in an elimination game

 

[sb1]

Thought that was a triple play!

 

[PaulNEPats]

Team forgot how to hit. So aggravating.

 

[captain insano]

please god no double plays.

 

[sb1]

Unreal

 

[captain insano]

double play game over series over season over.

 

[PaulNEPats]

It’s over

Cora said somehow the Astros hit like hall of famers in the playoffs, with runners in scoring position.

Fun season. Nice run. Can’t lie and say the ending didn’t suck.

 

[Vatahala]

It wasn't meant to be but thank you Red Sox for a totally unexpected exciting season.

Totally different series and a different outcome if Laz Diaz calls strike 3

 

[captain insano]

Losing the way they did was a humungous let down. They were mashing the ball. Then somebody turned out the lights. And they could barely get a hit. Never mind score any runs. its hard to feel good about anything now. Maybe in a day or two ill feel differently.

People whistling at a baseball game wow shocking

Cora had a horrible series and it started in game 1 with sawamura in the 8th

Tell me you know nothing about baseball without telling me you know nothing about baseball

Before game 4

From what I've seen of the MLB playoffs, Boston is the best team remaining. Atlanta and LA Dodgers don't impress me.

I take full responsibility for the Red Sox losing. Ever since I posted this, the Sox went downhill. They were up 2 games to 1 and were leading game 4...

You angered the baseball gods. Once you do. There is no return.

Pretty much agree with all of this. The Sox provided a ****-ton of entertainment this year, which is the first thing you're looking for. Always sucks to lose, but they outlasted the Yankees and had a good run. Not really heartbreaking--when you stop hitting you're not gonna win. Some bad choices on Cora's part, but he, and they, will be back.

Can't win every time you get in--was weird to think they'd be one away from the Pats for the century if they won this year. Key is to get in consistently and then roll the dice, and I think they're going to start doing that.
