  1. And you, seemingly, are still incapable of differentiating between managing the marathon and managing the sprint.
  2. LOL More directed at the doom and gloom crowd pointing out that series started out very similar to this one. Pedro hurt himself in game 1 as well; they had no idea what they would get out there f him when he came into Game 5.
  3. 1999 ALDS Tribe with HFA: Cleveland 3, Sox 2 Cleveland 11, Sox 1 Sox looked putrid at the plate; sound familiar? Sox 9, Cleveland 3 Sox 23, Cleveland 7 Sox 12, Cleveland 8 (Pedro with 6 innings of no-hit relief)
  4. Don't get me wrong, Price did not pitch that well. He was off on location all day. But as has happened a lot this year, he gave up hits in bunches, cheap as a few of them were, followed by one big one. Still, had he been perfect, he gets a no decision due to the Sox offense and the defense was terrible. And Porcello was awful (I blame lack of his lucky hat). Far worse than Price IMO.
  5. The thing is he wouldn't be wrong. Think about the bad inning. An out. A hard hit ground ball single. An infield chop in a perfect spot followed by a bloop in a perfect spot. Then the one real bad pitch he threw all night. The other run he gave up doesn't score if Holt turns the easy DP. Don't get me wrong, he could have been better. But let's also be realistic. If he had pitched perfectly, the best he would have gotten is a no decision. No phase of the Red Sox game showed up today.
  6. That sums up just about the whole team.
  7. The really sad thing is he made 1 bad pitch.
  8. Maybe we need to look at this like game 3 of the 2004 ALCS. One other history lesson for you doom and gloomers. (actually 2). Google the 1999 ALDS. Then google the 2003 ALDS.
  9. So if they get hot it has nothing to do with the manager but when they cool off it's his fault. Got it.
  10. That's 2 DP grounders they've effed up today.
  11. But according to some that's Farrell's fault.
  12. The play off Holt's hit sums up this game completely.
  13. The homer was the dagger but the chop and the bloop set that whole inning up.
  14. Kluber's got a lot a late movement on his pitches today. Sox have a bead on it and it moves just off the sweet spot at the last split second. Let's face it, he's good.
  15. Nice try; ain't going to work.
  16. But again this inning, infield hit on a ball Bogaerts could have made a play on and Holt booting an easy DP ball. Result is a cheap run. Guardians are white hot, they are getting a few breaks and they are taken by advantage of them. Things are going for them the way they were for the Sox during that 11 game winning streak.
  17. Referring to the last 2 strikes on Hanley (and the one he was called out on in the 2nd), if Kluber's going to get that call all day, the Sox have no chance.
  18. No but he has always been an excellent base runner. He did the same thing many times when he was with Boston.
  19. Bradley was just called out on that same pitch and of course after not being rung up, Napoli breaks his bat and singles.
  20. Leon needs to start talking to this ump. Price has hit those spots a few times (and better) and not gotten a single one of them.
  21. Would not be making much difference. The Guardians are white hot right now and if there's a break to be had, they are getting it and taking advantage of it.
  22. And yet with any kind of luck he's out of the inning unscored on. The chopper and then the bloop really set this inning up.
  23. So a chopper and a bloop are "weak s***"? You are really delusional in your expectations. Edit- this was posted seconds before the homer
