    Ok, but if Meadows gets up with two outs, bring in Barnes to drill him. Just don't order Barnes to do it, because then he'd miss.
  2. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Whew. 12 more outs. When are they bringing in Houck?
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    He's losing focus quickly. Cora will bring in Bra to face Cruz.

    Sometimes, a nagging ailment forces a player to focus on doing just what he can to contribute. Swings can be more contained, zoning only specific pitches you can barrel, out of necessity.

    Yaz, I'm sticking with the pilsner... while still wearing my History Made t-shirt from last night.

    Verdirtdog! Another lefty rip vs. the nervous rookie.
  7. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    One. Handed. Tater.

    Sox hit three Atom balls off McHugh, and law of averages were going to catch up to him. This Shane is good, but also a rookie in Fenway with no tomorrow.

    ERod perfect through three. Offense needs to generate some traffic to give him a rest.
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Mix in a gapper once in awhile.
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    That ERod change that fanned Luplow was perfect and unhittable, down and away on the black. Let's get him a few runs, boys.
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Come on, Randy. You're fast enough to keep running and not do a fancy slide.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Had some nice oatmeal stout lined up for Game 1, but had to go back to the pilsner tonight (pils is Czech for stomach soother).
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    As fans, we can all do our part: I'm not at a bar, so I can't pound a pitcher, but I'll definitely pound a few pints at home.

    At the end of July, when Dalbec looked overmatched in the bigs, most of us (and the media) thought Rizzo was a natural fit at first base, in the lineup and in the clubhouse. Nobody suggested Kyle Schwarber as an alternative, because he wasn't even a first baseman! Then Rizzo went to NY and immediately contributed, while Schwarber didn't play for two weeks after joining the Sox; when he finally did, it seemed awkward trying to find a place for him on the field. It still does -- after watching last night's E, and then hearing the cheers when he took a bow for making a routine play. But Schwarber not only outperformed Rizzo, he was the best impact bat that changed teams all season long. Marcus Semien was more productive, but he also played all 162 games. Schwarber had a higher OPS, which was also higher than any Red Sox hitter, before and after he came to Boston. At 28 years old, he's just entering his prime. Isn't that the kind of guy a big market club should invest in?

    If either team has a close lead mid-game tonight, I totally expect to see McClanahan or Houck enter to nail it down. This series is now the movie Heat, DeNiro vs. Pacino. Cora and Cash are in a staredown and they will not hesitate, not for a second, to bring the other down. Nobody will be a Showalter and even think about Wednesday.
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's a good point by Max, especially since the Sox are beating the Rays at their own game. They sustained 100 wins this season relying on their bullpen.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Hansel was physically ill last night; fans didn't know it at the time, but now we should all give him a break... unless he was sick all day, and then he should've told the coaches, rather than put a playoff game at risk. And just be glad, those of you who wanted Kimbrel back that Bloom stayed away. There's a guy that is still making Sox fans physically ill, but luckily they're White Sox fans.

    ... "they must have their annual 10-game road trip out West; that's when they always suck in August"
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    I wonder if Cora even knew Robles was ill. A lot of these guys want to suck it up and be warriors, trying to contribute for teammates and future contracts; maybe Hansel didn't tell anyone how he felt until they found he was better hurling in the stall than on the mound (sorry). Big Papi needs to talk to Devers again before tonight and tell him to contain his swing at pitches in the zone. The Rays have absolutely no reason to ever throw him anything but high heat. Rafie looks like he's committing Harry Caray cranking his body around up there. Maybe Playoff Cora should flip Verdugo to the third spot behind Schwarber and Kike...

    In a play at the plate vs. Toronto, Kiermaier slid home and found the data card that fell out of the catcher's pocket. Then he refused to give it back. Not sure if the card included a game plan on how to induce Rays' batters to bounce a double off the rightfielder's leg into the bullpen.
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    When the ground-rule double was called, at first I actually felt sorry for the Rays because I didn't know the rule. Then I thought of all the dumb rules in Tampa's circus tent, the worst stadium in pro sports. Then my 10-year-old said, "That hit was by the guy who stole the Blue Jays' note card and wouldn't give it back -- Kevin Karma."
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Great pitch. And the Sox lead off the bottom of the inning with a batter hitting .800.
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Thought you were joking -- which isn't a bad thing on a game thread, where sarcasm and snarks are just some ways posters get through high leverage stress...
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Can't put him away. Not a good sign when you have five pitches.
