10/17 ALCS game 4

[jung]

I will be honest about it. I would take what Porcello gave us tonight over what Erod gave us in a heartbeat. Porcello had absolutely nothing...probably knew it walking in from the pen before the game started and just gutted out 4 innings. Erod was brought in to face one batter and basically just blew it off.

I don’t understand why cora brung Rodriguez in a close game. The guy sucks.

[vegasbob]

When your team is pitching short and one of your future guys cannot rise to the occasion, I'd say you are dealing with peanut size cojones, Eduardo

[TylerD]

2 gone.

To give Houston hope.

Yeah at least Porcello was not afraid to throw strikes.

Cora was over thinking. Maybe he was hoping to get 5 outs from Brasier. IDK.

[redsoxrules]

Braser has been a stud

[TylerD]

Brasier has been a Star.

[Jasonbay44]

Ryan Braiser with a fantastic inning to retire Bregman/Springer/Altuve and pretty easily too. Awesome stuff.

[d-money]

Really hope we can add some runs! We might need those arms tomorrow.

[a700hitter]

Great job by Brasier!! Does he pitch the 7th?

[jung]

So if Brasier can get this next out without getting over 10 pitches he might come out for another inning....and there it is ....6 pitches. I would say its Brasier at least trying to go two innings. Could be rough though. He had 15-16 pitches last outing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

KOJI BRASIER. Where would this SOX team be w/o him?

[Jasonbay44]

Just as we thought, the MVP's of this series have been JBJ/Braiser.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Brasier is a cool customer. He comes in and immediately restores order.

 

I wonder if he could be the Red Sox closer next year? I'm pretty convinced the Red Sox aren't going to pay Kimbrel.

more runs needed

[Youk Of The Nation]

Technically not a 1-2-3 inning for the Sox, but definitely one for Braiser, and a smooth one at that.

Yes.

I'm honestly hoping they don't pay Kimbrel. He's been great for us, but he hasn't been as lockdown this year, is getting older and I don't like paying relief pitchers that type of money in general.

[illinoisredsox]

Plus of that inning is Brasier should be able to at least start the 7th. Add on runs will be huge. Will we see Presley this inning or does Hinch hold him for a possible save?

I want to know!

[jung]

Probably the reason Cora used Erod trying to get the 1st out was to cut down the number of pitches for Brasier hoping to get 5 outs from Brasier. Still kinda' worked out not that we have Erod to thank for it.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Just as we thought, the MVP's of this series have been JBJ/Braiser.

 

Aha! Just as I suspected!

[Jason33]

You mean Alex “Babe” Bregman with the way they have been slobbering over him all series. Cora should leave Braiser in until he tires, but he’ll yank him and go off analytics.

[vegasbob]

I want to know!

 

Not even political, more related to regionalism

[Fan_since_Boggs]

I guess Price pitches tomorrow. Price sucks on full rest, maybe he will be better with short rest.

 

With the tough Verlander on the mound, I kind of like matching him up against the useless Price. But to make it work the Red Sox have to win tonight.

You are so right. Almost have to concede tomorrow's game, making the win tonight the big deal, especially with blowing 2 leads and coming back with the 8 and 9 hitters.

[Jasonbay44]

Just because Price is pitching tomorrow doesn't mean its an automatic L. Weirder s*** has happened. As long as JBJ comes up with a chance to give us the lead, we'll be fine
