Playoff Roster - 2018

[notin]

I don't believe prior post season results are a great barometer for this year.

 

I don't either. But I do think 2016 and 2017 post-season results are a better barometer than 2013 post-season results, for what that's worth...

[Hitch]

I do think Workman has the better temperament for these situations. As I said though, I'm willing to admit I am biased on this.

Well, yeah...

 

I don't know what to expect from Workman. I know that the Sox must not think too highly of him since he's on the shuttle rather than being firmly in the pen.

Tell that to the Price busters.

[OH FOY]

Biggest start of Price's career next one. Sanchez doesn't hit anybody, but he hits Price real good.

[mvp 78]

Tell that to the Price busters.

 

No, you.

Cora confirms Eovaldi will start Game 4. They’ll announce the full roster tomorrow.

[moonslav59]

No, you.

 

I have directly and indirectly.

@jcmccaffrey

Has to be him.

[fxkatt]

I like the way the starting pitching lines up, now it's just a matter of performance.

 

Am I the only one concerned by the longish layoff? I think the first two innings tomorrow night may be telling. If Sale shuts them down for 2, we're on our way; if not.... well, we're back in the swing of baseball, but we're already behind.

[moonslav59]

Has to be him.

 

All the signs pointed to Eovaldi.

 

We used ERod in relief at the end of the season.

[Slasher9]

1b moreland

2b kinsler

3b devers

ss xander

ut4 swihart

ut5 vazquez (replacing 12th pitcher - rp8 pom)

 

nailed it

[moonslav59]

nailed it

 

I'd replace Kelly with Poyner, but I agree, this one is most likely.

[Slasher9]

its announced.

[moonslav59]

its announced.

 

Oh, I missed it.

 

So, Kelly in- Hembree out.

 

Wright and Workman in.

 

3 catchers as I hoped.

 

I like it.

[moonslav59]

its announced.

 

Bases loaded- bottom of the 7th, I'm not sure I'd feel all that great seeing Poyner come in, anyways.

[OH FOY]

Leone will be starting first 2 games. With a lead, doubt they sub him.

[moonslav59]

Makes sense with Sale & Price going game 1 & 2.

 

Leon is not as great with our pen, so once the starter is removed, we may PH even with a lead. It's nice having Swihart as a 3rd catcher, so we can do this more easily.

Sandy is going to go off with the bat anyway.

[OH FOY]

Yanks don't run, so not worried about stolen bases. We should put pressure on Sanchez with our speed, it effects the Pitchers too.

Someone always comes out of nowhere in the Play-offs, would be nice if its Sandy. Hoped the rest helped him, he looked beat by end of season, with the bat.

He's a Yankee killer.

 

He got the rest he needed.

 

He's the man!

[moonslav59]

Agreed.

[FredLynn]

Wright and Workman in.

I like it.

 

I hate Kelly on the roster. He has sucked for months.

[OH FOY]

Kelly hates the Yanks, hope that will refocus him.

[moonslav59]

Kelly hates the Yanks, hope that will refocus him.

 

Maybe he's our designated beaner.

[jung]

Obviously Cora does not think he needs LH relief arms at all in this series. I suspect he is right though there always comes a moment in a short series when your opponent knowing you don't have a LH arm to bring in haunts you.

I'm not concerned.

.670 Wright brothers

 

.424 Sale as in freakin'

.672 Price is right

.551 Hembree

.665 Johnson

 

[dgalehouse]

All of the Yank's dangerous hitters are righties , except for Gregorius . No need for a lefty reliever . Anyway , E-Rod will be in the pen. Later in the series Price will as well.

I think he figures if he needs one, Rodriguez can work in a pinch.
