I am old school, but I would not have bunted in the 9th. It took the bat out of Mookie's hands. Yes we still had Devers and XB coming up, but I would not have sacrificed one of the big bats.
And the HR that scored them was the cheapest of all Fenway HRS. The Dodgers grind their ABs and elevate pith counts. You can't blame Price for 1 ER. The fielders and the lineup haven't done their jobs so far tonight.
They are the best team in baseball. They worked Sale over pretty well extending ABs. His line score was 4 2/3 INN 5R 7H 1BB 7K 1Porcello. The bullpen so far is 2 1/3 INN 4R 4H 3BB 1K 2 Porcello's.
