Great job by most of the BP and a great clutch hit earlier by Dugo.

 

And, of course, DEVERS!

[moonslav59]

I guess expecting the naysayers to come clean was expecting too much.

[notin]

Number of pitches: 5-10-22-18.

 

He might not be available, but this is crunch time.

 

With an off-day tomorrow, he will be ready for Tuesday..

[illinoisredsox]

Everyone but Nate is available

 

That's what Cora said. His use of ERod and Pivetta in those spots said otherwise.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tip of the cap to both the Jays and Mariners for their excellent seasons. I never tip my cap to the Yankems.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If the SOX don't win the WS, I just hope it isn't a team from Florida or Texas. Much as I dislike the Yankems, I dislike those two states worse.

I lived in both those states and don’t like them either, but I think both those teams are pretty good.

What a game!

 

What a season!

 

What a memorable team!

 

Now, beat the f***ing Yanks!

 

Screw the trends. This is one game.

 

Beautiful man!!!!!! Can’t believe it. What a season. Highs and lows but it’s been amazing

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Congrats, MAX. You're a great SOX fan.

[jad]

While we were moaning about the lack of fundamentals, Yanks win on a walk-off in part because the Rays' catcher seemed not to know that he had a force at home, stood off the bag and tried to make a tag.

 

(And SplSpl, I'm with you 100% on FL and TX.)

Congrats, MOON. I've never met a better SOX fan.

[Old Red]

I guess eovaldi will go on tuesday against cole.

 

The Jays, and Rays cooled Stanton off, so hopefully he stays that way.

[oldtimer]

Who will pitch for the Yankees?

Hey, Tyler, what a day! Btw, have you checked out that movie KATE yet on Netflix? Highly recommended.

[moonslav59]

Can you believe we are sitting here in October wondering if Brasier and Robles will be rested enough to get us some high leverage outs on Tuesday?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

King Cole.

Time machine set for 1978 with, hopefully, a better ending.

Hard to believe that was 43 years ago.

It’s good to have Whitlock back too

[moonslav59]

We can agree on this!

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Now that we've lost confidence in G.Richards, I wonder if Pivetta can fill that role as a dominant one inning reliever. I'm assuming he isn't going to be in the playoff rotation. . . .

 

Playoff rotation: Eavoldi, Sale, E-Rod, Houck.

 

Yeah, Pivetta goes to the bullpen.

Whitlock will be the main closer.

 

Robles & Brasier the main set up men.

 

Ottavino and Pivetta the 6th and 7th inning guys.

 

Just my opinion.

[Tedballgame]

Just got back from golfing (left in the 5th inning). Watched rest of game on DVR then read the comments. Wow! LOL! Lots of frustration, hate and anger......then joy, happiness and kindness. Let's go Sox. It has been a great season and it can be even greater with a win on Tuesday. I have a good feeling about that game.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

The lineup for Tuesday (against Cole) if JD can't go:

 

Hernandez CF

Schwarber DH

Bogaerts SS

Devers 3b

Renfroe RF

Verdugo LF

Dalbec 1b

Arroyo 2b

Vazquez C

 

If JD can play, I guess you move Schwarber to 1b, JD to DH, and Dalbec to the bench.

Sounds about right.

Me too! Just finished up watching entire game! Comeback was epic!

ALDS start on Thurdsay?

We used to be the comeback kids, so it was nice to see a bit of a flashback.

Looks good to me, but do we know for sure that Pivetta would come out of the rotation?
