Kershaw tomorrow night. Let’s see if he can win the big one. Love Game 5’s when they’re tied.

I used to be anti “ban the shift”, but I think it’s undeniable that the game has changed in the last 10 years for the worse. It’s smarter- can’t deny that- but it’s also more boring and harder to watch games outside of rooting for your own laundry. I’d like to see defensive restrictions that lead to more athleticism of infielders and are more fair to left handed hitters. We thought hitters would adjust to the shift. It didn’t happen. It’s time to consider defensive rules.

Pet peeve for the week...media people that shorten Tampa Bay Rays to Tampa Rays. Don’t do that. They play in St. Petersburg anyway.

at Arlington Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Dodgers home team Dodgers in 5

3:37, good game too

Rays win the pennant!

Curt Hasler. That’s his name. Not Kirk. Not Hassler. Carry on...

Once again, Go Rays! If they lose, it's the last game I watch this year. Second time in history a 3-0 lead went to a Game 7.

Unless Hinch has a guy that he can’t live without, I can’t imagine the list is longer than Matt Zaleski and Everett Teaford.

Please win today, Rays. That is all.

My mercy rule idea...3 hours of play after a full inning is completed or 7 innings, (whichever comes first), the losing team can wave the flag.

11-spot in the first for LA.

This is Twilight Zone type stuff.

Clever way to get people on the AJ Hinch bandwagon.

I think they’re just getting names out there. They’ll interview different guys for a couple weeks, including minority candidates, and then Hinch will officially interview in early November, and be named the next Sox manager around November 10.

I read this out of curiosity. Wow, don't click on this garbage.

He’s probably starting on Thursday.

Kershaw scratched with back spasms. Gonsolin starting.

69 bothered 69 not bothered

Put me down as a Matt Quatraro backer. I like his background and he’s been a recent finalist for manager jobs.

Coop won’t say anything negative about the Sox. He’s almost 65. They gave him a great life for him and his family. Maybe he’ll have some big issue baseball thoughts that he doesn’t agree with, but it won’t be personal.

21. Cubs 22. Sox Seems like old times

Nice to see some real humans in the stands!

Hinch (and Cora) are suspended until the World Series is over. They are not allowed in major league facilities, so where and how they can be communicated with now is unknown. But I’m sure the Sox will have a new manager press conference before Thanksgiving.

How about Ron Roenicke so we can use the RR out as Manager thread again someday.
