10/14 ALCS game 2

Robot Umps now!

 

Actually, that’s a call that would be almost impossible for a robot ump to make. Did it tick the bat, the dirt, the glove or some combination?

[Thunder]

Is Bregman going to be the next Machado and just be a perpetual pain in the ass for a decade and a half?

[jung]

Am I high or something? I clearly saw the ball bounce off the bat

 

Well you will have to tell us if you are high. But it did not get close to hitting the bat. Usually you can tell from a slo-mo change of rotation or direction. That ball did neither. That one was so obvious that you did not even have to check for change in rotation or direction. Was not close.

[OH FOY]

Actually I'm definitely not. Even though I'm in college, I'm clean

 

Wish I was. Used to do it.

[Thunder]

First time I've ever watched the game on mute. I hate it so much. I feel like I don't know what's going on

[TylerD]

Fak. 7 straight now. Bats slowing down.

[Sox75]

Price out of bullets. Only at 80 pitches but 60+ of them have been high stress with guys on base. It’s the right move here.

 

Not questioning the move. I was questioning Price for basically pitching around him. Letting Barnes clean up the mess.

Machado’s a douche. Bergman’s a guy I’d love to have on the Sox.

[OH FOY]

Barnes got a rubber arm, even in College.

[Jasonbay44]

Machado’s a douche. Bergman’s a guy I’d love to have on the Sox.

 

Machado is a douche, but I’d happily take that douche in Boston

[TylerD]

Barnes looking sharp

[OH FOY]

Machado is a better SS then 3rd baseman.

[OH FOY]

Machado has the strongest arm I've ever seen from a SS. Been watching the game a looooooonnnnng time.

Robots know everything!

[OH FOY]

Rafffffffffffffyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[TylerD]

Holy s*** Barnes! Good inning. Nice play by Devers. Nunez would have messed that up.

[Sox75]

Kid steps up & makes a HELL OF A PLAY! Right time!

[Slasher9]

Braz for the 7th.?

[Jasonbay44]

Devers has looked really good tonight

[d-money]

This offense needs runs. This won’t end 5-4

[jung]

Holy s*** Barnes! Good inning. Nice play by Devers. Nunez would have messed that up.

 

Both Devers and Nunez go arm side pretty well. Neither can go glove side to save their skins. At least Devers can blame youth. Not sure what Nunez can blame....

[illinoisredsox]

Holy s*** Barnes! Good inning. Nice play by Devers. Nunez would have messed that up.

 

Maybe not. Both Raffy and Nunez are pretty good on the backhand; both are weak glove side.

Price ERA by catcher in 2018:

2.37 with leon (84 IP)

4.68 with vaz (92 IP)

 

Career

2.83 w Leon (194 IP)

4.32 w Vaz (263 IP)

 

That's a lot of offense needed from Vaz to overcome a 2 run differential.

 

Start Leon, and once Price is removed, PH for Leon.

 

 

When Price got pulled with 2 outs in the 5th, was Price yelling at Vazquez through his glove? Looked like David was directing some sharp comments to Vaz. Anybody know better ?

[Tedballgame]

We may not see Nunez starting again this series if Devers keeps making plays.

[Station 13]

Cole is still in this game.

[Slasher9]

Christ...Cole is still in this game? Time to eat his ass.....

[TylerD]

Kinsler continues to be s***.

[Station 13]

Kinsler is s***

[Station 13]

Kinsler continues to be s***.

 

Such wasted at bats.

[OH FOY]

Just for your information, Kinsler is now hitting .071 against Cole.
