    Hopefully, next season Sale will get his middle name "Freakin" back.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    i thought LA would be playing against the Braves.I know you meant the Braves. It's the NL, so who gives a shite.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just checked another source. Muscle tightness in his forearm; no structural damage.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    MLB network stated it was a forearm injury. Either way, he's out of the LCS.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Maybe it's already been mentioned, but McCullers is out of the ALCS because of a bad forearm.

    According to the 'experts' on the MLB network, we SOX fans shouldn't even bother watching this series because the SOX don't stand a chance. Recent history would tend to back that up, but I've really noticed how in PO games that recent history means absolutely nothing. If it did, the SOX would have lost to the Rays. The only time it's certain that one team will beat another in the PO's is when the Yankems play the Twinkies. That pretty much applies to the regular season also.

    Anytime a manager sends a pitcher into a game, no matter if he's a starter or reliever, there's luck involved. Sometimes good and sometimes bad. The more inconsistent the pitcher has been during the season and he is successful, the more luck is involved. No manager knows in advance what a certain pitcher is going to have during a certain game. That a reliever now, in most instances, has to face at least 3 batters, that increases the luck factor.

    Seeding by record, which I agree with, worked perfectly this season in the AL for these PO series.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I was going to respond with a retort, but why bother. You should stick to your "so and so sucks!"
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Sounds like you favor s*** umpiring. Or are you Nostradamus?
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    In the check swing I was referring to, it wasn't even close to a swing. An otherwise great game was marred by a inexcusably bad call by the 1st base chUMP. And, as usual, there will be no punishment by their union for that disgusting mistake. Anyone who thinks bad calls by the chUMPIRES don't affect the results of a game, well, I disagree. Hopefully, the SOX/Astros series will not be affected by shite calls.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    My bad. That should have been D-Hern.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I watched the Dodgers/Giants game last night and found it appropo that the last out of the game was on an atrocious check swing call by the 1st base chUMP. Supposedly, the chUMPIRES' union is tasked with picking the best chUMPS from the regular season to work the PO's. Of course, that was proven BS when I saw Angel Hernandez working the Brewers/Braves series. I believe every call these chUMPS make should be reviewable for the simple reason that they suck so bad.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Sawamura and D-Hern are on the 26 man roster for ALCS. Barnes and Davis are left out. Santana is also on roster.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If leaving Houston at least at 1-1 is considered successful, which I would agree with, then starting Sale today and EO tomorrow is no big deal.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Brings back memories of Gagne being signed by the SOX. I guess that could be defined as a 'flop.'
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Your post was 'wicked good.'
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, is 'very true' superfluous? or 'very good?' I'm very interested in knowing.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I seldom correct other posters' 'improper grammar' or misspellings. In fact, I never correct them. This a baseball forum; not an introduction to proper English. But thanks, I'll try to remember that in the future or not.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Very true.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I very seldom watch Braves' games so I'm not familiar with Freeman's approach at the plate. We SOX fans all know that Bogey has a tendency to hardly ever swing at the 1st pitch. I'm wondering if Freeman also has that reputation causing Hader to groove a fastball down the middle?
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Yesterday, Hader, who I believe is the best reliever in MLB, faced Freeman, who is one of the best hitters in MLB. The best against the best. Freeman guessed fastball on the 1st pitch and the rest is history. Tough loss for the Brew Crew, but a great win for the Braves. If Hader can give up a game-winning homer, then all relievers in MLB are vulnerable.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The best city in Texas, imho.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I agree. Schwarber is the kind of personality that bodes well for having a winning team. He keeps everyone loose and the former linebacker has a good approach at the plate. He can also hit HR's. What's not to like? That was rhetorical, Old Red. You don't have to respond.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    According to the results of the regular season, the SOX have already beaten the best team in the AL. With that being said I believe the SOX should have a pretty good shot at beating the 2nd best team.
