I’m a sox fan for this series. Please wipe out the Stros!

[Thunder]

This doesn't count as a GT does it?

Wow, got by me 2nd half of season Verlander has been lights out. Just 1 thing gave up more HRS. Last 2 Months 9-1, with a 1.71 era.

6+ days of rest 3-0, with a 2.21 era. This one we are going to need Sale, and no stupid mistakes.

Is this a game thread or just general discussion about the series thread?

[Station 13]

drunk thread.

[bkzwhitestrican]

Yankees fans starting game threads for the Sox seems like bad luck. For the Sox.

[jacksonianmarch]

This isn’t a game thread. It’s a series thread. Game threads go by each specific game

I don't remember seeing them before. Good idea though.

Once you go blowjo, you can't go back

[Maxbialystock]

What is it?

 

Farrell has said 11 pitchers--I think the five starters plus Kimbrel, Reed, Price, Kelly, Smith, and Barnes--

 

and 14 position players: Moreland, Pedey, Bogie, Devers, Beni, JBJ, Betts, Vazquez, and HanRam plus Nunez, Leon, Davis, Holt, and Marrero.

That doesn't sound right at all.

[Station 13]

f*** this thread.

[Station 13]

I don't like Barnes there. Maddox on the other hand has pitch better.

 

Will there be a LOOGY at all?

[mvp 78]

It would be a terrible mistake to include 5 starters on this roster.

[greenwell]

Agreed. I've seen many people say all 5 starters should be on the roster. Porcello and Fister are both horrendous in the first inning, I would hate to see those guys coming out of the pen. Rodriguez might not be too bad, but they have much better bullpen options.

The Sox playoffs starts tomorrow and this is it for threads? How about cancelling all the other discussions and starting fresh? This site needs some energy and relevance.

[Elktonnick]

Fister on the other hand has been effective against Houston. He is my nbr 3 starter in the Astros series.

[jacksonianmarch]

Fifth starter is usually left off unless he’s a reliever who was stretched out to start. Fister or Porcello would be bad pen options anyway. You’re gonna have to pick one

[devildavid]

I think Nunez should not be on the roster unless he is healthier than he was when he attempted to come back from his injury. But I'm not sure of the rules for replacing injured players in the postseason.

A player who becomes injured can be replaced on the roster, but is out not only for the remainder of the current series, but the next one as well.

You could be right. I did so for two reasons: 1) i don't think Farrell has yet made up his mind about the 4th starter and maybe wants the Astros manager to be in the dark as well; 2) six relievers should be enough and can't think of anyone left out worth putting on the ALDS roster. I am, for example, a fan of neither Abad nor Scott.

I don't have to pick anyone. Farrell does. I personally would go with Sale, Pom, ERod, and Fister, but it's hard to leave off a $20M starter.

[Maxbialystock]

I just checked the WEEI and CBS versions, and they both mostly agree with me--all five starters, same position players, plus five of the same relievers but Scott instead of Barnes for #6. I'm not saying I'm right, only that I might be.

Well I guess it is worth the risk to include Nunez on the ALDS roster.

WEEI - Rob Bradford is a dope

 

CBS - Dan Roche said it was ERod OR Porcello

 

Even if you're "right" in picking who Farrell grabs, it's the "wrong" decision.

The real ALDS slide was started by a Yankees fan. Good to see your name.
