Sneaky play: start Crochet in game 3 if it gets there.

We can do this. Gio has to be good today. Its doubtful we can get much from Luzardo and the first wave bullpen platoon. Lets get in there and steal a low scoring game, game two favors the Sox more heavily, imo. Our best chance is to sweep this thing, stay an extra couple days in California, and mentally prepare for games ahead.
Game 3 favors the A's slightly with Manaea, imo. Or is a game we win if he doesn't have it, but probably lose if his sinker is working that day. But its certainly a toss up game, and we have lots and lots of different arms to throw at them. I'd not trust anybody longer than 1 time through, and move to the next guy.
I doubt we have any bullshit "must face 3 guys" rule in the playoffs...so you can use Crotch Rocket like a lefty against lefties all series for big outs. I realize righties are just as baffled, but the kid has barely pitched, lets keep that mystery under raps as long as possible until we are truly desperate.
Forget the records, we got the best draw in baseball with Chapman out, playing in the sunhine. Lets have a fun week and leave victorious, then go to sunny Houston to face another broken injured team.

All the glory bats and Adam freaking Engel getting the defensive start with Gio goes BIG FLY!!!

Giolitto is Dealing. And I love the defense that is out there right now.

What is the prognosis for Jimenez? They really are going to need some protection for Abreu. I wouldn't pitch at all to Abreu. He is really the best hitter in baseball right now.

Yeah...the rabbits in the outfield helped him out early on too. With Encarnacion and Jiminez there may have been a couple hits.
As for Jiminez the best I could figure out is like a day-to-day prognosis. No mention of out for series, or out for playoffs, just today.

Well...Gio is too big to get down for that, got him up the middle past his own defensive zone. No no bid over.

A real manager doesn't let Gio go out in the 8th,

3 more outs, and the experienced captain will be toeing the rubber for the kill!

Yeah, certainly after the walk for sure.....I will give him credit for setting up game two though. He can come with the soft tossing #2 Keuchel and then lower the boom with Crochet and his 100 MPH lightning bolts. Catching the A's was nice for the Sox....they should wrap this up tomorrow.

Ehhhhh, I don’t know if it was necessarily nice. I believe their bullpen is pretty good. Of course if they don’t let it get that point, even better.
