Not even a full season in and already alienating his players?. Impressive.

I didn't expect much from the Sox after the way they played for most of August and all of September, but I've got serious doubts about Chad Tracy. The lack of offense isn't on him, but yanking your top 2 pitchers early like that is a terrible move. Maybe it's inexperience at the big league level.

Is it too late to take back that 3-year contract? Cause I don't think Tracy's the guy.

The Sox, except for Tolle and Gray, didn't show up to play. Can't believe they gave Chad Tracy a 3-year deal for this. What a waste. #MLB #Postseason #baseball

I'm just gonna say it. I think the Red Sox were too quick to give Tracy a contract. Should've let him prove he can manage in the postseason. Which, judging by this lifeless performance and mismanagement of his pitching staff, he can't. Should've shipped his ass back to Worcester.

Same thing he did with Tolle last night. Did this clown go to the Dan Wilson Managerial Academy?

This can't be the same team that went from 32-46 to the playoffs. It just can't be.

With the way the Sox have been swinging the bats. Or rather, not swinging them -- might as well be 10-0. What happened to the fire we saw during the 15-game winning streak?

Too bad his teammates aren't giving him any run support. I feel like I'm watching the Mariners.

Such an awesome story for the White Sox. 121 losses to making the playoffs to sweeping their way to the ALDS. How can you not be romantic about baseball? #MLB #Postseason #baseball #sports

That couldn't have gone any worse. Payton Tolle was the only one who did his job. They better figure things out otherwise it's gonna be a long winter in Boston. Maybe they should've waited til after the playoffs to give Chad Tracy that 3-year contract? Is this really who you want in charge?

Tolle/Sonny/Ranger is one hell of a 1-2-3 punch. Tolle's been your best pitcher all year and giving him the ball in your playoff opener is 110% the right call. If the offense gets him some run support (a tall task against Schlittler) then Game 1's theirs to lose.
