    There must be a sofa out in the Red Sox pen because I see a lot of *******s eating sofa cushions in fear they will be called on. No matter the actual outcome of this game, the pen has shown exactly what everyone was concerned about since about August 1.

    3 pissant ground balls in the 6th and now 7th, too slow to turn 2. Truly hate the Yankees ability to irritate everyone. Barnes with 2 outs ? Hope he never gets to 2 strikes
  3. vegasbob
    You got it boss. Barnes can either save this inning now or become the horseshit thrower that he is

    Where the f*** is Holt, getting rest??
  5. vegasbob
    Cannot understand the love for mediocre Kinsler
  6. vegasbob
    And just for the record, he still sucks even after the K.
  7. vegasbob
    Damn Workman is another example of a BP ******* who cannot pitch when he needs to. Thake all those wonderful stats and jam them where the sun doesn't shine. Either you can compete or you can't

    Brasier tighter than a cheap watch, cannot command a strike
  9. vegasbob
    Still a key inning but trending the wrong way. Sale was weakening, Brasier gets screwed on an oppo hit

    This may be the key inning of the ALDS if Chris can keep them off the board. Get the first win at all costs. JDM already showed that Happ is not the answer in a game 5, but let's avoid getting that far down the road
  11. vegasbob
    Lance Lynn is a fat F, like his locker mate CC. Pound him Pearce
  12. vegasbob
    Chris certainly should get one more inning, then see how much gas is left. With a 5-0 lead I go to Wright in the 6th and hope to get all the way to Kimbrel. Have to get Chris a Playoff win so 5th for sure

    Beni been saving that one all year, great time to bring out the bunt basehit and move Mookie along. Happ is now officially hapless. Burn that bullpen Aaron
  14. vegasbob
    Sale saves a bunch of pitches with that DP. Now for more runs from the bottom half of the order.
  15. vegasbob
    Happ thought JD was batting 3rd, as usual. Nice lineup twist, Alex, paid off big time
  16. vegasbob
    F'ing JDM hits Happ where it hurts, in the Monster seats. great start
  17. vegasbob
    Let's score first and often for a change on Happ. Sale's 24 pitches might not let him go as deep as we would like. See how his second inning goes.

    Of the Red Sox roster, who will show up big and who will have trouble swallowing the clubhouse spread ? It's a given that Betts, JDM and Bogie need to hit and should. Holt may be the surprise bat that wins a game. Not expecting much from the 3 catchers or Moreland. Nunez, Pearce and JBJr will be ok, Devers will K a lot but could also bust one. I'm guessing Benintendi will leave you wondering of these 14 guys. Sale cannot be handicapped until we see the velo by end of 2nd. Price has the big upside to throw a gem. Porcello will give up 2 or 3 shots in Yankee Stadium but Eovaldi will make DD a genius by winning there. Wright will be the bullpen miracle and Joe Kelly may not see much action. Kimbrel will use too many pitches to get his outs and not be available for one of the games. The other releivers are who they are, like light switches, sometimes on and sometimes off. Brasier with a good series could be the positive surprise in must win games.

    How much does it mean to win the first game of a 3 of 5 game series ? If you win, you need 2 of the remaining 4, if you lose you need 3 of 4. Plus consider that you did not win with your best pitcher starting, and will likely face the guy that probably beat you if a 5th game becomes necessary. You give up the HFA and your fans go into depression. Now 2004 was the ultimate outlier and shows that all permutations are possible, but why challenge the odds. Winning the first game may also validate Chris Sale as not being limited by his shoulder condition which would be great. Win the first and follow with Price then go to NY for the elimination game.

    No, they are using Pom to boost their confidence.

    The Athletics didn't even belong in the conversation. Hope they bought round trip tix to Oakland's really swell airport. Maybe they can catch the BART home.

    Can't play Friday's game on Wednesday and expect to be there, Mr. Melvin.
  23. vegasbob
    You have to like his 2018 AAA numbers though
  24. vegasbob
    Keeping him ready for a trade over the winter.

    Well, the Cubs sure showed what can happen to a 95 win team with home field advantage when your guys can't hit and score. Generally great pitching by multiple throwers, fans support to the max, but just didn't get them anywhere except a long vacation. As so many here have said, the playoffs do not conform to long or medium term trends and stats. It's strictly what have you done for me today. All for lack of just one more win during the long season. Let's hope the Sox see this and react well. Meanwhile Theo and Joe M. can sit back and watch. Another watcher is the much beloved Buck Showalter, late of the Oriole dynasty who managed to lose more games than any team won. Way to go Bucky, may you never grace a dugout again.
