    They had a closer. All Star closer, in fact.

    He just imploded in August of that year and never bounced back…

    Apparently, we were supposed to expect that and sign 2 more allstar closers, just in case....

    None of the Sox' relievers in 2019 were as trustworthy in the second half, which may have been why Cora felt he had to use Pivetta to finish games in the LDS, and even a cooked Eovaldi in the LCS.

    Meanwhile, Houston's 6-man relief crew -- fortified by legit reinforcements at the deadline -- allowed zero runs in sweeping the last three LCS games to get them into the World Series.

    I like that last sentence. A lot.
