    We were the better team all year. I think to an extent we went into cruise control in September but when October began the guys again played to their abilities. And its not like the Sox were completely healthy either: Sale is clearly not Sale; Nunez is hurt. And against the Dodgers JD banged up his ankle. Lets not blame injuries to the Astros for their loss-they just lost to a great team that got hot at the right time.

    As are the Bruins...nonstop action pretty much.

    Roberts never had a chance. He didn't have the players to compete with the Red Sox.

    Gracious of you. *******.

    I had them in five, and I also picked the game they would lose...when I get done patting myself on the back let me say this one word: DOMINATION! From start to finish this is the most dominant Sox team in history. They started out winning 17 of their first 19 games. Never had a losing streak during the year of longer than three games. Won 108 games, more than any other Red Sox team in history. They dispatched the Yankees in four games, winning on their home field after the Yankees won 100 games. They beat the champs in five games after they won 103 games, again on their home field. And of course they won a ring beating a good but overmatched Dodgers team-in five, on their home field. This scenario is likely never going to happen again in our lifetimes. Enjoy it!

    Brasier wasn't ready. Kimbrel was I think its as simple as that.

    Hope everyone enjoyed the baseball season. After today there will be no more games.
  8. FredLynn
    THAT-the fact that our heavy hitters went 0 for 28-is why we lost. Its not going to happen again. That said, Moreland was what-0 for 5? Pearce reached base with a BB in his only appearance. Moreland is Less Moreland today Even less tomorrow.

    I am not afraid of Rich Hill, a junk ball thrower. Score first (and I think we will) and this game is ours. Still saying Sox in five. Even if we end up going back to Boston down 3-2 I still think we win the series.

    This home plate umpire must be working for the Dodgers...Buehler is getting a lot of balls called strikes that Porcello isn't getting.
  11. FredLynn
    Solo HRs are not going to beat this team
  12. FredLynn
    I get that, but why start Moreland, whose OPS (as I have written elsewhere here) since July 1 is under .600? Pearce v RHP this year is .828. I think thats a mistake. Even Cora makes mistakes.
  13. FredLynn
    I think its a mistake, but lets see how the game goes. For now, I don't like it. I won't like it even more if Moreland goes 0-for whatever and strands runners on base. He is clearly not the better hitter compared to Pearce, and without Benni in the lineup we are already missing a key offensive cog. I would love to be proven wrong.
  14. FredLynn
    Pearce has an OPS v RHP of .828 this year; Moreland is at .780-but much of his success at the plate occurred before the ASB. After that his OPS (since July 1) is .597. Thats just not going to cut it. Furthermore, Moreland's ABs don't pass the sniff test lately. He has had a few hits in the playoffs but at times he has looked lost up there, without any plate discipline and unable to catch up to a good fastball. Play Pearce. Moreland can play as a defensive replacement late in the game.
  15. FredLynn
    Buehler's splits are nearly identical v righties or lefties. I would start Pierce because Moreland can no longer catch up with a fastball. I think that this game will be our only loss in the series. The Dodgers will be desperate. They hit a lot of HRs and Porcello surrenders a lot of them. I have said Sox in five from the beginning and I am sticking to it. Plan on partying on Sunday.
  16. FredLynn
    No, Cora said he is going to be a game time decision. I am sure that if he can run and cover RF he will be in the lineup.
  17. FredLynn
    One day (or even two) isn't going to make a lot of difference in his mobility. Either he can go or he can't. The injury looked bad, but we really don't know the severity of it, and the Sox aren't about to tell us. I think that he either plays all three in LA or he sits all three. JMO.
  18. FredLynn
    I will stick with dominant, for this year only, obviously. When you win 108 games then relatively easily eliminate two 100+ win teams and, I am assuming, win the championship, thats dominant in my book.
  19. FredLynn
    I think there are gradations of sore. There is no question that if his ankle is fine he should play; if its a bit sore but he can move around adequately he plays. If he cannot move there is no point in having him out there. I would also say that if his movement is a bit restricted he should also play. We need his bat.
  20. FredLynn
    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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. FredLynn
    Comic relief...keep up the good work Madman!
  24. FredLynn
    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.
  25. FredLynn
    Then why even have Pomeranz on the roster? I have a bad feeling about him...I think he will cost us a game.
