Playing "small ball" can reap big rewards in a series like this! I don't wave the banner until the fat lady is done singing!

top of the 8th,no outs,Drew on second. Middlebrooks flies out, Ellsbury flies out Why not pinch hit for Middlebrooks- someone that can sac bunt Drew to 3rd Ellsburys fly out could have produced 2nd run. Runs are at a premium in this series!

always liked Dubrount but his control issues will likely land him in bullpen if Clay comes back with the same dominance he had before his injury.

where were you guys when i started this thread a week ago? Flood gates are open now!

True about contact hitters hitting ahead of Papi, weakest hitters usually go to bottom of order. If you don't put the ball in play you can't advance a runner. Napoli is on pace to break Bellhorns season K record.

tired of seeing Napoli striking out so often after Papi to kill a potential scoring threat. Need a contact hitter in #5 slot, maybe Drew (hot lately) or Holt?

Don't seem to see the logic behind this move at this time
