They're wrong. He won't be.

Nice.... JDM!

Or that will work!

Damn.. I was hoping to get Mookie to 2nd for JDM

That would work for me

Sweet livin' God... are we going to see Kimbrel try to get a 4 out save? I don't think my heart can take that.

I like that!

Phew. Crisis averted! Thanks, Barnes.

I had a flashback there to Mookie & Pearce in a similar play against the Yankees.

and DON'T HIT HIM

Double him up. Gonzales doesn't deserve. to be on base after that cheap hit

cheap dink hit

No kidding! He's sounding like ARod on Sunday Night Baseball!

Brazier's out again for the 7th. If we can get him through this one it's Barnes & Kimbrel.

I'd be screaming WILL YOU PLEASE THROW A f***ING STRIKE?!?!

Being someone who HATES seeing a reliever walk someone I'm glad I'm not a Houston fan now. All these BB's would drive me crazy!

That was gone from the moment JBJ swung the bat. It HAS to feel good to hit a ball like that!

Your dad knew how to raise a kid!

But what about if the Yankees sign him? That would make him 2x as despicable.

...Which is why I want him in the National League. He's an outstanding player and a big crowd draw so MLB wouldn't ban him if he shot someone on 5th avenue. Since he IS going to play someplace his being in the NL keeps him as far from Red Sox players as he can be.

I was convinced this was a non-issue and the right call was made until I saw this slo-mo. I still can't tell from this angle if the ball hits that bar but the thing that gives me pause is that the ball was caught in the palm of the glove. I have to question whether a ball caught in the palm of the glove would have enough force to cause the glove to strike the wall hard enough to make the sound we heard. If it were caught in the webbing, yes, but in the palm?....eehhh... Let's be glad the Sox won or we'd be grousing about that catch for years.

If you look back in my posts I've been consistently saying that I DON'T WANT MANNY MACHADO ON THIS TEAM NO MATTER HOW CHEAPLY DD COULD GET HIM FOR! The reason for that is quite simple. I'm a Red Sox fan and I don't want to be put in the position of trashing 'one of my own' if he continued to be a thug - and there's no evidence that he wouldn't do that. But I'd do it.. in a heartbeat. Do you think you can comprehend that, troll?

I don't see how anyone can defend Machado on this play. OK, Aguilar had his foot on the top of the base but Machado had fully half the base to tag. MM even dragged his left foot in the dirt prior to making contact with Aguilar so his intent was obvious. Watch the first video here and then tell me that it wasn't a dirty play. Then look at the second one and tell me that he's not a punk. "I come to play baseball and try to play for my team. If that's what they say it's what they say". Manny Machado called out as 'dirty player' WWW.MLB.COM LOS ANGELES -- Manny Machado is making a name for himself in ways both welcome and unwanted in this National League Championship Series.Before he hit a broken-bat single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and jetted home on Cody Bellinger's walk-off single to right field in the 13th inning Machado is a punk and a dirty player and it's catching up with him.

Double post. Oops!

Thanks. I would have missed that trolling because I HAVE BW ON IGNORE!
