10/17 ALCS game 4

[d-money]

And the astros make cora pay.

[jung]

Oh well....when Tony Kemp takes you out...ya' got nuthin'

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I could carve a statue out of my own dried up s*** and it would have better stuff than Porcello tonight.

[vegasbob]

There you go Ricky, let the midget jack you up. Really an incredibly bad performance in a game where your team spotted you 2 in the first.

[d-money]

Our f***ing starting pitching has been so shaky with the exception of eovaldi.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When POR sucks, he's a regular Dyson.

[redsoxrules]

Oh big surprise another long ball HR given up by porcello

[Jason33]

Well done Cora you moton

[d-money]

How many hits already?

[Jason33]

Moron

[a700hitter]

2 solo Porcellos. We can still win this game, but Porcello has to hold the line.

[Jason33]

And he’s still in there

[Jason33]

Wtf

[Station 13]

Don't give Springer another fatty pitch

[d-money]

This offense has to do something soon especially the big boppers. I don’t see how we win tomorrow with no sale.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Well done Cora you moton

How did 'moton' of all things crack me up?

[vegasbob]

And you know Porcello's postgame comments will include, "i've got to be better and working on it"

[a700hitter]

Porcello has given up 2 solo Porcellos and 7 hits. Thankfully, he has not given up a walk.

[TylerD]

One would think if he gives up another run here he’s gotta go.

[d-money]

Take him out of the f***ing game now!!

[a700hitter]

And there is a walk.

[TylerD]

Porcello has given up 2 solo Porcellos and 7 hits. Thankfully, he has not given up a walk.

You spoke too soon

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Are Cora's feet glued to the dugout floor or something?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe the SOX can get two innings from Kelly. That leaves Brasier, Barnes and Kimbrel.

[jung]

Lesson #1 Alex....you can relegate starters to the pen. But you can't relegate the starters you are going to start in the series to the pen. Its gonna' get ya' sooner or later. You may be able to pull it off in a 5 game series, but not 7.

 

A longer term problem is what to do with Sale. Cora did everything he possibly could to get Sale to the post season in shape to pitch and he STILL was not in shape to pitch in October.

[Jason33]

I guess no matter how many runs they score Porcello is pitching 5 innings

[vegasbob]

The amazing thing is that virtually everyone on this board, which can get a little volatile, saw that Porcello was up in the zone, prone to flyballs, had no real break on his curve, etc. Sometimes the obvious is too simple. Cora trying to save his pen because he's going naked tomorrow with Erod. You can only win the game you are playing, not tomorrows, especially in the playoffs

[d-money]

The bottom of our lineup has been terrible.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Oh for f***'S SAKE

[d-money]

Cora made a huge mistake sticking with porcello.
