10/11 ALDS Game 4 vs Rays

[sk7326]

it was 1st and 3rd - they could have still done it. I was surprised they did not play the middle guys at double play depth.

[Tedballgame]

Congratulations Red Sox fans.

[sk7326]

He has to be MVP. And Devers is the one -armed MVP

 

One legge JD Martinez was outstanding. Really all of the big guns showed up big in this series. Schwarber has low key been the best of all the deadline acquisitions in the league.

Shaw took second on defensive indifference on the first pitch.

[d-money]

They get some rest as well!!!! Much needed rest!!!!!!!

Geez while I said early in the season that this team was going to surprise a lot of people, which is actually happening, I just can't find words to describe my feelings about this team right now man.

 

What a series. What a season. What a team.

 

Let's go for more!

[illinoisredsox]

No MVP in the Division Series, but Hernandez would win it if there were.

[S5Dewey]

Shaw took second on defensive indifference on the first pitch.

 

I couldn't believe they didn't want Hernandez especially after Shaw went to second.

[redsox87871]

Too much Excitement for me this Week! LOVE MY BOSTON RED SOX! PRAISE GOD WE ADVANCED!

[iortiz]

The energy and the atmosphere at Fenway park in the offseason has been crucial to win vs NYY and TB.

[Sox75]

So good SO good SO GOOD!

[sk7326]

Shaw took second on defensive indifference on the first pitch.

 

Because the infield was in all the way - that was a choice by the Rays, one they did not have to make

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One-armed MVP? Dr Richard Kimball is still looking for him.

[illinoisredsox]

I agree. Devers is a threat to hit it a long way but he also hits the ball hard which puts the DP in order. Plus Hernandez is hot as can be.

 

Analytics must have said pitch to KH. They were wrong.

[Sox75]

I'm kinda starting to like this team!

 

Can't believe I ONLY predicted 93 wins in early March!

[illinoisredsox]

I think he would have gone anyway; they weren’t going to throw through.

[Sox75]

How about 104?

It’s been already a successful season and more. Hope it doesn’t stop.

[sk7326]

This is a profoundly flawed team - the worst of the teams this team has taken to the playoffs this century. But the fight they have shown all season is huge. When their season almost fell to pieces due to that stupid COVID outbreak - they pulled it back. When the Yankees registered three straight comebacks in Fenway, the Red Sox overcame. When the Nationals had them down 5-1. Etc etc etc

 

And of course, 3 of the 4 titles the Red Sox have won this century were under first year managers - and TECHNICALLY this is the first year of Cora's second go-round.

Analytics: Odds are better if RH pitcher faces RH batter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At the worst I have at least 4 more SOX games to watch.

Btw, the Rays' fans don't deserve a championship and they probably don't care.

[Tedballgame]

Now lets hope the White Sox come back and beat the Astros. Wouldn't TV like to see Sale pitch against the White Sox? Kimbrel, Kopech, Moncada on the other side. That would be awesome.

[bkzwhitestrican]

Good news: the Rays lost, f*** em

Bad news: the Red sox won, f*** em

[Tedballgame]

I am confident that the Sox can beat either the Astros or the White Sox.

They can put it together. This offense can rake when they’re on.

It's official, Cora is the manager of the year and Bloom the GM of the year regardless what happens in the ALCS.

[Tedballgame]

Good news: the Rays lost, f*** em

Bad news: the Red sox won, f*** em

 

And the Yankees SUCK! F*** Them.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good news: the Rays lost, f*** em

Bad news: the Red sox won, f*** em

 

More bad news: The Yankems have Cole for 7 more years. f*** 'em.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I am confident that the Sox can beat either the Astros or the White Sox.

 

That's why I said 'at least.' Any team can be beaten if the ball bounces right.

All I can say is HOLY s***!
