Vaz always catches Porcello. Cora is not messing with chemistry at this point. Plus, Vaz is looking sharp at bat, too!
-
These announcers are praising Cora for the major lineup revamp, and starting Holt & Devers was a nice call, but Vaz was always going to catch Eovaldi & Porcello, and Moreland is hurt, so the Pearce call was forced. Nice D tonight by Holt and Bogey. Gotta like the momentum swing, but we need to be careful. We all just saw how quickly momentum can change. Let's keep the pressure on and end this thing in NY. (Sale starting game 1 vs Houston, sounds nice.)
-
You think Eovaldi pitches this well with Swihart behind the plate?
-
It's one thing to get down after a loss, but saying it's over for a 108 team that is tied 1-1 in a 5 game series is beyond redemption. I know we all get frustrated at times, but I keep being amazed, and maybe I shouldn't by now, at how quickly people jump ship. It didn't take an optimist, and that's what people were calling me, to know we were far from "out of it."
-
Swihart has never caught Eovaldi, or did you want him at 1B over Pearce?
-
I like it.
-
Nobody was saying this after game 1.
-
He is by far our best catcher when Sale and Price are starting. There should be no debate.
-
That will make the shut out he pitches even sweeter.

10/6 ALDS Game 2 vs NYY

I have more faith in Porcello than Eovaldi, but it would be nice to steal a win tonight with the righty. -
I guess that could happen, but I think we'll want Porcello for the game 4 starter.
-
Yup, just one win in NY and we are looking good.
-
No, and giving Porcello the extra day of rest after his relief stint earlier is probably a good idea. Big game for Eovaldi.
-
If the Brewers can win with Miley, we can win with Eovaldi and/or Porcello.
-
I had hoped we signed Moose not Moreland.
-
Eovaldi is starting game 3- Porcello game 4.
-
He gave up on the Sox. Period.
-
Pearce has actually hit righties okay this year. I have no faith in Swihart's bat, especially as a 1Bman. Beni seems to be coming around. I like him or Bogey 2nd. I also think JBJ looks much better than anyone else in the 6-9 slots. I'd bat him 6th or 7th not 9th.
-
Leon gets 3-4 PAs a game. The opponents get 27-40+ when Leon is behind the plate. I'll go with Leon when Sale & Price pitch & Vaz when Porcello & Eovaldi pitch. Besides, Vaz might be a better hitter than Swihart right now.
-
I'd go... vs Severino 1. Betts 2. Beni 3. Bogey 4. JD 5. Pearce 6. Devers 7. JBJ 8. Holt 2B 9. Vaz vs Sabathia 1. Betts 2. Bogey 3. Pearce 4. JD 5. Beni 6. Holt 2B 7. JBJ 8. Nunez 9. Vaz
-
...Holt at 2b against a RHP. Holt actually hits LHPs slightly better. Maybe he should play 2B vs most RHPs and 3B vs most LHPs.
-
I was firmly against this idea all season long. I'm even more against the idea, now. You don't switch catchers at this point. Here's how many PAs the opponents have seen with Swihart catching these starters: 0 Sale 0 Price 0 Eovaldi 23 Porcello (.863 OPS against)
-
The original poster is more of a Yankee fan than you!
-
He should have started against Tanaka.

I was speaking more about baseball fans outside the Red Sox community not so much about players, although I do think our image might play into some players' choices on where to sign, especially international free agents and players with 2 or more equal offers on the table. I don't really see myself as an overly optimistic. Many objective baseball people know this series is far from over. BTW, although I have been accused of being all stats and no heart/emotion, I do believe in momentum, hot streaks and the non tangible aspects of the game, and how suddenly it all can change. Right now, things look a little bleak, but this team of ours has too many weapons to think we are even close to being over.
