8/20 vs Tribe

[Slasher9]

tito vs cora

Kluber vs Porcello

a preview of the playoffs perhaps?

4 game set of 2 first place clubs.

 

Me? i'm trying to make amends for f***ing up and not starting yesterday gamethread.

 

WIN.

[dannycater]

I like this matchup if only because the Sox have to win this game, it's the must-win game of the season to this point...(it's such a great year for the Sox that it's almost impossible to make that last statement. It's laughable. Would like to see the Sox win today, and if they don't, really doesn't matter--that's the reality of 2018).

Hmmm, a "must win" that "doesn't really matter."

 

Cleveland seems to be the team nobody is talking about, but they have quietly done very well this year.

 

There are only 7 MLB teams with 54 or less losses. 6 are in the AL.

The only must win for the Sox is game 2 of the postseason if they lose game 1.

[Station 13]

Oh boy I thought we would get a fresh new starter for this game. Slasher needs a cooling off period.

We won't lose game 1 and won't have any elimination games as we cruise through the playoffs.

Yeah, bad form Slasher. Tsk tsk.

we lose tonight and i will ban myself from starting a GT for the rest of 2018....

As good as Porcello has been this year. Kluber is dominant. Porcello has to be fantastic for us to be win tonight. Won’t be easy.

[dannycater]

Porcello will throw a perfect game. Game time 1 hour, 38 minutes. Kluber goes perfect also for 5 inn in a historic matchup. Then in the 6th inn, he walks the 9th batter and gives up a 2-run bomb to Mookie. Sox add a few runs in the 8th and 9th, win 5-0.

This is a big series for this team against a contender. Lindor one of the best players in baseball. He’s the version of mookie betts for the Guardians.

[S5Dewey]

Porcillo is great to watch when he's on - like he was in the 1st. He K's a guy and then just walks off the mound like it's no big deal.

[d-money]

Hope we can jump on them early.

[jung]

Rick pitches with more confidence when he is feeling it than any pitcher on the staff. Sale pitches with confidence but he has better stuff than Rick. When Rick is pitching with confidence it just comes out of his pores.

[illinoisredsox]

Is it time for Mr. Twitter to start complaining?

[Station 13]

Kluber is nibbling

[S5Dewey]

gotta make it happen now. Don't miss this opportunity!

[illinoisredsox]

Kluber is nibbling

 

Yeah, but he nibbles pretty good.

[S5Dewey]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

[Station 13]

Eat s*** Kluber

[d-money]

Good start. Need to keep adding runs. Let’s go rick porcello.

[d-money]

Come on rick. Can’t have this.

[Station 13]

Get your pitches down Porcello. His offspeed pitches is always in the middle of the zone.

[Station 13]

Yeah, but he nibbles pretty good.

 

That was some hitting by Bogaerts, very pre-2017 approach.

[d-money]

Don’t fall behind the damn hitters.

[d-money]

This team needs to pitch well in this series.

[Station 13]

Try the cutter Rick. your cuveball is trash
