Game 1: 0-4 Sox lost
Game 2: 3-4 Sox lost
Game 3: 2-3 Sox won
Game 4: 1-4 Sox lost
Game 5: 0-4 Sox lost
Game 6: 2-4 Sox won
Game 7: 2-4 Sox won
Game 8: 2-5 Sox lost.
He went 6-21 in the Sox losses. In the Sox wins he went 6-11. His hits in game 8 were a HR with no one on in the 3rd when the Sox were down 5-0 already and a double in the 8th when they were down by 8 runs.

This argument doesn't resonate with me - according to you he would have hit .650 and hitting .375 was throwing the series? Was he throwing games his entire career?
