    If he can play he should play. He looked like he was moving pretty good last night. You just can't take his bat out of the lineup unless you absolutely have to. Thats the bottom line. He and Betts both have to be in the lineup every day unless they are on crutches.
  2. FredLynn
    Yes, Devers has looked good out there fielding his position. But I think most of us, if we are honest, hold our collective breaths every time a ball is hit his way.
  3. FredLynn
    And your point is...............? If the Sox take the title they will also be one of the most dominant teams in the history of baseball. Hopefully you can sit back and enjoy the show.

    Comic relief...keep up the good work Madman!

    Baseball is a strange and unpredictable game. Because I have already accounted for one loss from Pomeranz its likely that he will win us a game instead.
  6. FredLynn
    Then why even have Pomeranz on the roster? I have a bad feeling about him...I think he will cost us a game.
  7. FredLynn
    Pomeranz has sucked all year. Its unbelievable that he has taken a roster spot from a more deserving player. Furthermore, he hasn't pitched in what-a month? Very very bad decision.
  8. FredLynn
    Sox in five....the team is on a roll.

    I don't think I ever saw a case of someone being unable to keep down solid food due to "cellulitis from a belly button ring". Nice to see Sale has a sense of humor too.
  10. FredLynn
    Of course it was a joke, and I certainly didn't expect it to last on the front page for very long. Gotta have a little humor interjected-next game is still three days away.

    At the request of Moonslav, here is the manager poll. No writeins allowed. 1. Bobby Valentine 2. Joe Kerrigan 3. Butch Hobson 4. Pete Runnels 5. Pinky Higgins
  12. FredLynn
    I think every single poster here realizes that Cora (and every other manager in the game) has more baseball knowledge than any one of us. However, that does not mean that they do not make mistakes and those mistakes are fodder for criticism, despite their knowledge.

    I read somewhere that Wright is going to need offseason surgery. Although he pitched extremely well for us down the stretch I would not take the chance of having him on the roster instead of Swihart or anyone else. As the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". This team should enter the WS with the same roster as the one that defeated the former champs.

    Hijacked thread alert!
  15. FredLynn
    Perhaps some of the nervousness comes from the possibility that we might have lost to the Yankees. That I could not have lived with. Losing to the Astros would have been disappointing, for sure, but I could live with that. But losing to Jacko's team and having to live with that all winter is an entirely different matter.
  16. FredLynn
    After the first game against the Astros the Sox beat the snot out of their opponent. Its an incredible copout to say that the Astros gave up; they simply lost to a much better team-just like the Yankees. We played one bad game and then beat the snot out of an inferior team, on their home field no less. This team is a juggernaut. Its no accident that they won 108 games and beat your team as well as the defending champs. They did that not because their opponents "gave up" (what a joke), but because we played much better baseball. Deal with it.
  17. FredLynn
    Or any other team where Wade Miley starts
  18. FredLynn
    A totally enjoyable season! This kind of dominance in the sport, where our team wins 108 games, sends the Yankees home ON THEIR OWN FIELD, then dispatches the WS champs and favorites to win another ring by winning three games in their park, is probably never going to happen again. Just four more wins to complete the journey.
  19. FredLynn
    I think thats going to be the key to winning this game: scoring first. Playing from behind is losing baseball, especially against a team with very good pitching (though we have pretty much trashed their pitchers in most of the games).
  20. FredLynn
    I am not saying that there was another better choice (maybe ERod?). All I am saying is that expecting Price to perform well (and I don't think that anyone here really expects that if they are being honest) would be foolish. At best we can hope that he is mediocre and that Verlander doesn't bring his A game tonight.
  21. FredLynn
    In the playoffs you have to suck it up and perform. I don't care if he threw 200 pitches yesterday-all the pitchers are getting much more work in unfamiliar situations. I do not expect anything different from him than we have seen in the past; why expect something else? He has had what-10 postseason starts? And how many games has he won as a SP? Zero. Like every Red Sox fan I will be cheering for him to succeed tonight, but I am not expecting success. I am expecting more of the same. As the saying goes, "Those who cannot learn from history are condemned to repeat it"...or something like that. Perhaps the best strategy is for Cora to tell Price he is only going to pitch a maximum of three innings, so give it everything you have for those innings. He was good as a RP in the playoffs. Make this a bullpen game with Price first up.
  22. FredLynn
    No, you don't (ever know). But if history teaches us anything about Price is that he is the consummate choke artist. If I were forced to bet on this game I would not bet that he would keep the game competitive. This is his chance for redemption. Lets see if he is up to the task.
  23. FredLynn
    Four innings. Four runs. Price v Verlander is a mismatch. But his is baseball; anything can happen.
  24. FredLynn
    Perhaps....but thats YOUR opinion. Under the current rules you cannot grab the leg of the IF and you have to try to maintain contact with the bag. Machado knows the rules but intentionally went out of his way to grab the leg of the guy trying to turn the DP. He is a punk.
  25. FredLynn
    I heard that statistic during the game 2 broadcast. I guess it wasn't totally accurate. That said, its not a position the Sox wanted to get into I am sure.
