        5-0 after 4 without a long ball and Lynn sent packing like a hobo. I like it!

              Nice start to the series. Not sure it was smart to use Graveman and Pressly with a 6 run lead. Why give Chicago a fresh look at them with a game tomorrow?

                Felt the same, but we will take it

                  Because Baker can’t manage a bullpen. He’s awful when it comes to that. I’m also disappointed he left Odorizzi off the roster and kept Siri, who has a BROKEN FINGER, solely for pinch running opportunities. Mind blowing for me, Baker has zero confidence in Odorizzi. But that doesn’t mean we should keep a worthless bench player on the ALDS roster for “possible pinch running situations”. This isn’t the NL, or World Series where you have to be strategic about pinch hitting for pitchers. It’s the ALDS. Baker screwed this up.

                    Using Pressly in the 9th with a 5 run lead was an odd choice for sure. He'll be available tomorrow, then an off day, then be available again for game 3 if needed. But still, just odd.

                      TBH I don’t think Baker is pulling the strings on the roster. That’s coming down the pipe and Baker is managing the team he is given. I’m
                      Luke warm on Odorizzi anyway. Baker using the bull pen can be suspect but that’s always a hindsight 20-20 view

                      Having that dude that can fly on the base paths is pretty important in the playoffs. ie Derek Fisher and game 5 vs LA.

                        One Sox fan went home with a headache.

                          Glad they won. Can't watch since I cut the cord a couple of years ago. Only certain games. Not doing MLB with a VPN for playoffs.

                              I thought it was a terrible move with such a big lead. But, it is the playoffs. Do what you have to do. Baker makes very odd pitching moves.

                                Agree! Makes no sense

                                Guess he taking no chances
