  1. Núñez 2B, Betts RF, Benintendi LF, Ramirez 1B, Young DH, Bogaerts SS, Devers 3B, Vázquez C, Bradley Jr. CF, Pomeranz LHP.
  2. I'll be reeeeealllly ripped by that time. So you all have that going for you!
  3. Nope, ALL the credit. Otherwise, we are going to have to go back to giving Duke credit for building this franchise.
  4. @SPChrisHatfield Noe Ramirez, who grew up in Los Angeles, claimed off waivers by the Angels.
  5. Today is the 50th anniversary of the Tony C beanball. http://sabr.org/gamesproj/game/august-18-1967-tony-conigliaros-career-and-life-threatened-beaning
  6. @PeteAbe Lots of folks asking about about the game tonight. If the team makes any announcement, promise to pass it along. We don’t get prior notice.
  7. ESPN's game preview goes on and on and on about Sale and doesn't mention Pomeranz once. The Yankees starter, Montgomery, is mentionned twice. What a garbage fire. http://www.espn.com/mlb/preview?gameId=370818102
  8. "Let's win," said Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez. • When batters have put Pomeranz's curveball in play this season, they have put it on the ground 63.8 percent of the time. That's the fourth-highest rate out of more than 40 pitchers who have generated at least 50 batted balls on curves in 2017. • While Chapman has struggled against Boston this season (two blown saves, 8.44 ERA), Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel has a 1.80 ERA and a .105 opponents' batting average in four appearances against New York. • By and large, the Red Sox have done a nice job against Aaron Judge this season, holding him to a .174 average and one home run in 12 games. However, Gary Sanchez has four homers and a 1.007 OPS in his 43 plate appearances against Boston.
  9. The WC Game is the brontosaurus of the MLB season. Recognized as a playoff game now, doomed to be a regular season game eventually because of #truth.
  10. Same with the regular season. You win the regular season, you move on to the playoffs.
  11. And at one point they decided to make the AS Game matter by having it affect the WS. Oooops, they changed course after they realized it was dumb, just like they'll do with considering the WC play in game to be the real playoffs. It took them 14 years to fix that mistake. We probably won't have this discussion finalized until 2025 then.
  12. Yes. See, the way the NFL works is that there is one game in each round. The time constraints are no different than in other rounds. In baseball, it has always been a best of 5 or 7. In baseball, you win a series not a game. If they want to expand the WC match up to 3 games or more, then it can be considered the playoffs.
  13. Unfortunately, that is true at this point.
  14. I know. You used to be a 12 year old avid Sox fan and it weirded me out that someone that young was posting on here. Now you're all grown up like the rest of us!
  15. They are working Brentz out at 1B. Unless Travis can get some extra bases once in a while, I'm not sure he's a good fit here.
  16. They talked about the 30 year anniversary of the 86 Red Sox as much as they could last year. It's perfectly ok to celebrate great teams that didn't win a WS. The players deserve the recognition.
  17. Nope, he's 30 little Stephen Curry's stacked on top of each other Voltron style.
  18. It's the Schrodinger's game. Each team is both done with the regular season and not in the playoffs yet.
  19. Nope. I think MLB is just screwing up what they always held as true. Game 163 isn't the playoffs. The play in game came after the exciting end to the regular season in 2011 with the Sox/Rays and Cards/Braves. They wanted to generate this excitement every year by creating a play in game.
  20. Watching that again brings a smile to my face. Koji was such a joy to watch.
  21. It didn't end the WS, it was just the final out of game 4 in STL.
  22. 1. Yankees had enough pieces to make the trade AND not gut their farm. 2. Sox can't and wouldn't make the trade because it would gut their farm, which Henry has stated he won't do.
  23. Need to also get rid of interleague play by dumping two franchises (Tampa and Cleveland) or adding two (Montreal and Portland).
