  1. We would have liked it if Mookie roped one down in the corner of course...
  2. Yeah, it's a freaking wonder these bozos led the majors in scoring. When you can't muster offense against Verlander and the Houston relief corps you might as well just pack it in.
  3. I think there was some data last year that the Red Sox were taking a very high number of first-pitch strikes, which was attributed to the team's 'passive' approach. There was also a lot of pre-season chatter about Cora's intentions to implement a more aggressive approach. But a lot of it's the old rock-paper-scissors game, isn't it? What you do depends on what you think your opponent is going to do.
  4. Fact check: Last night was our 5th playoff game. In our first we were up 5-0 after 4. In our third we were up 10-1 after 4. In our fourth we were up 4-0 after 4.
  5. Get serious. Do we really have to stick to the year 2018 on this thread? You say you don't care what's discussed and then you question it. If you're not interested in the topic of Chris Sale's future you just have to disregard any posts about it. Pretty simple.
  6. Um, what did you think it was? Did you read through it at all?
  7. Probably so. But in this case it was indeed a fastball down the middle. Mookie swinging at it was the classic 'aggressive approach' that was supposedly part of our offensive upturn this year. Does that make any sense or is it full of crap? LOL
  8. It's a general thread for talking anything Red Sox. Why wouldn't Chris Sale's future with the team be one of the topics?
  9. A mechanical issue doesn't really explain Chris Sale consistently throwing 91 MPH fastballs from the get-go. I think he's hurt and he's doing his best to pitch through it.
  10. I truly hope you're right. But I have to say it, with Price on the mound, if things don't go well tonight's game thread promises to be a shitstorm of epic proportions.
  11. He's a fantastically talented pitcher, cp. But he faded down the stretch in 2017 and this year he couldn't even make it down the stretch. It's his physical soundness that's the issue, not his talent or his heart.
  12. Eh, based on results that is. Nunez had an awful game but he's been our best defensive third baseman this year, I believe. He was being lauded for his play that ended the ALCS. Devers is no lock to be error-free...
  13. I'm afraid notin is dead on about Chris being a huge decline/injury risk going forward. It's a damn shame, the guy is the ultimate beast when he's on, but he can't even pitch a full season when he's 'healthy'.
  14. So what? There were gifts on both sides. That's baseball.
  15. Game threads are frequented by some seriously depressing, whiny pricks.
  16. He had an excellent Game 4 against the Yanks did he not?
  17. And yet they're 111-55. Crazy game huh?
  18. Just comment on the game thread, don't start a thread about it.
  19. Betts has to be the #1 priority, no question.
  20. Great point.
  21. Correction, the Sox are only favored to win tonight's game. If you click to the MLB Future Odds page you'll see that Houston is favored to win the ALCS.
  22. But if JH simply says to DD, 'OK Dave, you've got $XXX to spend this year', then it's up to DD to choose how best to allocate it.
  23. But expectations have to be tempered by the fact we're actually an underdog on paper in this series. We're playing the defending champs, who posted an insane +263 run differential this year and then destroyed Cleveland by a total score of 21-6.
  24. Aztec Gods, baby. Just roll with it.
