    Body of work - no chance ... especially since you have to count the last month of a hobbled Miguel Cabrera. Now would I pick the Tigers over the Sox in a best of 7? It would be tempting with those Top 4 starters - but Tampa's aren't slouches and Boston figured out a way there.

    The extra travel day has definitely changed how managers are handling Game 4. With the extra day it allows you to have EITHER your #1 or #2 lined up with short rest. Detroit was able to exploit it with Scherzer as was LA with Kershaw. The Rays did to a degree too with Moore although Maddon was not taking any chances with asking for much inningswise from him. In particular, teams with a quality #2 starter now have an extra bullet to throw at Game 4.

    It's not really a contrast - both worked in the same management structure. These are not opposing schools at all - Farrell bench coach is a former PawSox manager. So is his first base coach. This season has been more of a throwback to the 2007 days than any kind of rebuke of them.

    The science of statistics says it will all even out in the long run ... but to guess how it would is folly. The science tells us that a best of 7 (let alone 5) will tell us nothing about underlying quality ... especially in baseball where the starting pitching rotation means you are facing a different "team" every game.

    Oh, I definitely would rather have the A's ... less bat-missing starting pitching. And yes, while their park robs us of power, it robs them too. And our outfield defense is solid enough to take advantage of all those fly balls that die in the outfield. That said, there are no "upsets" in baseball playoffs. Just happy to still be ticking. Boegarts came in handy in a tough spot - I don't think this changes the rotation but it might make it easier for Farrell to lift Drew in a matchup situation. Good composure in a situation where the temptation to press was high.

    Well, we thought Tampa would not give gifts either. The series was defined by the Sox outdoing the Rays at the stuff Tampa is good at, pitching, defense. And then the offense was relentless - even last night when they weren't scoring they were making one hard inning after another.

    LOL - to be fair, WMB DID have a terrific at-bat ... just sometimes the other guy is a little better. Rodney had a much easier go.
  8. sk7326
    Oh to be 21 and have a legitimate big league approach at the plate ...
  9. sk7326
    He does - on ESPN.
  10. sk7326
    come on Taz
  11. sk7326
    Oh I doubt Nava was running on his own ... the hit and run made sense there although Ross != contact hitter
  12. sk7326
    Tazawa with a super quick hook ... I dunno, going right to Uehara feels better here, but need to watch for the steal either way
  13. sk7326
    Bres just hitting that lower corner over and over ... tough break, not much Boegarts could do ... Drew might have been able to make that play/throw, but have to live with it
  14. sk7326
    Classy by the umpire - since we're tuned in to watch you go after Zobrist ...
  15. sk7326
    The 2004 team would not have needed it ...
  16. sk7326
    Oh announcers yammering abut NL having more strategy - precisely false
  17. sk7326
    that sucked - great at-bat too ... story of the night
  18. sk7326
    sigh - Napoli JUST missed that
  19. sk7326
    Amazing this is still scoreless ... definite fiesta of squanders for everybody
  20. sk7326
    Really nice gameplan Middlebrooks has shown tonight ... this is the sort of approach that can make him a real force
  21. sk7326
    Another time Pedroia prevented Drew from getting the easier play ... yuck
  22. sk7326
    Good D by Peavy ... what a weird start to this game
  23. sk7326
    Holy crap I feel old ...
  24. sk7326
    Does Moore have any off speed stuff today - had none of it, got predictable in Game 1 ... velocity will be interesting on 3 days rest

    Step 1: Get to Game 5 Step 2: See step 1
