  1. The Sox had 40 come-from-behind wins in the regular season. Not sure where that ranks historically, but it seems like an amazing number.
  2. No problem with bringing Kimbrel in. I think there are several counterpoints. One is that the Red Sox had just proven you can score 5 runs in an inning. The second is that Kimbrel has shown that he will get you the 3 outs, even if it can be messy. Third is that if you put Brasier in you're probably going to have Kimbrel warming up in case there's trouble. If Brasier gives up a couple of baserunners you probably bring Kimbrel in. Then you've used both of them.
  3. They really killed it in the 5th inning this year.
  4. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/split.cgi?t=b&team=BOS&year=2018
  5. It's the craziest big ticket free agent showcase ever seen.
  6. The reaction of Puig to Moreland's home run said a lot too. Not only did he not move from his position, he put his hands on his head as if he couldn't believe what Madson had done, or he couldn't believe what Roberts had done bringing Madson in. Not a great signal to your team, especially when you're still leading the game.
  7. Just guessing here along with everyone else, but I think maybe Price is getting the ball because Cora figures he has a better chance of getting deeper into the game. And the bullpen is taxed to say the least, especially with E-Rod out of the picture.
  8. If the Sox get this done, you're going to need a DVD set so you can watch what actually happened. Me too, in fact.
  9. Kinsler was a good move too, IMO. But not everything works out.
  10. Something else to chew on, Max, about how managerial decisions are viewed: After Game 3 Cora was being criticized in a lot of quarters for 'going all-in' with Eovaldi. After Game 4 we heard a lot about how Eovaldi's performance in Game 3 was very inspirational to the team.
  11. No question. I love having Cora as our manager.
  12. With Eovaldi and Pearce, I think Dombrowski may have had the greatest deadline in the history of general managers.
  13. Cora probably made his worst mistake as a manager letting E-Rod face Puig. But then Dave Roberts said 'I'll see you that mistake and raise you one, by bringing in the horrible Ryan Madson in a key situation again!'
  14. Manny the Menace! The guy is unbelievable.
  15. OK quick trivia question - before Kinsler, what was the name of the last Sox second baseman to make a postseason crucial error before this one.
  16. Kinsler has had an excellent career. His career WAR is about the same as Pedroia's. And he had some good postseason numbers coming into this year. Last night was just one of those disasters similar to ones that have befallen others before him like Jackie Smith and Bill Buckner.
  17. (Copied from Game 3 thread) I could be wrong, but it seems like the move of pinch-running for your slugger backfires more often than it works out.
  18. Yeah, you gotta love that.
  19. I could be wrong, but it seems like the move of pinch-running for your slugger backfires more often than it works out.
  20. He's a great player. Have some faith.
  21. But every game is huge in a playoff series.
