Middle Buffalo Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Should be a good Series, though I'm not sure I really care who wins. Probably leaning Red Sox. I'm really just hoping Sale wins his games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yup - couldn't care less who wins this round, however both teams are pretty stacked. BOS has been the best team all year so kudos to them, they deserve to be here, and the Dodgers went out and made every move possible to be here (with the big win of Machado at the trade deadline). So, while I'm not a fan of either -- they both deserve to be here without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazox Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Can’t see the Red Sox not winning they have kept there form and beat the Astros fairly comfortably in the end while LA have had a tiring battle against a dogged Brewers team . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettie4sox Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Red Sox will win in 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think it could depend on Sale's health. If he is sub-par, then I think the series could be a 6-7 game dogfight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Chris Sale is finally pitching in the World Series in a Sox jersey. Way to go Kenny and Rick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 What do they pay for tender-arm lefties these days. Unfortunate for Chris to be on the big stage with his shoulder not 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Pretty good example of what is both great and bad about the playoffs in tonight's game. Every pitch counts. If the catcher's mitt moves at all, it's a ball. Both Kershaw and Sale threw a bunch of pitches that looked good but were called balls. With analytics, players are more patient. The strike zone is tiny. So, the games take forever - especially in the playoffs. I went to bed in the 7th. The game was already well over 3 hours long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that and commercial breaks are about a minute longer I believe. In a baseball game, that adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Game 2 close. Price threw a ton of change ups to stifle the 'Stros his last start, 43%. Guess who he is giving credit to for learning the change up. None other than James Shields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I still hate how the default move is always pull the starter now the second they have any trouble and I hope it continues to bite the dodgers in the behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Machado just stared down his hit that went all the way to the wall and dropped his bat thinking he had a home run, and turned a stand-up double into a single. Not bright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two of those runs were from throwing errors and the next one is too. Alex Cora asleep at the wheel leaving E Rod In this long. Heck of a performance though.
