OT Jackie BradleyJr

Agreed, I’d much rather have price throwing this game against verlander in Houston than him starting game 6 or 7 in Boston. It’s not a throwaway game by any means, but if they lose it can act like one.

Tonight's house money. Get back to Boston and take one.

You think so? I'm not so sure. I expect the Astros to win tonight. Is what it is. I have no idea what to expect out of Sale on Saturday (though obviously hoping for the best. Thankfully the bullpen should be reset), and going back to what Kevin Millar said before Game 4 of the '04 ALCS: "In Game 7? Anything can happen."

100%. Sox can play with house money tonight. I hope we see Price, ERod and Hembree only tonight and save the other arms for Saturday. Unless Price surprises and pitches well, then make anyone available but Sale.

You can see the guy on the far right with the light gray shirt leaning his arm directly out from his shoulder, while his hand is on top of the fence. From looking at this picture, I would say the ball is not yet into the fan area, still about over the yellow. All the fans in the first row are up against the fence with arms extended forward.

At first I thought the ball was in the stands which would have made it a bad call. Closer look shows Betts in front of the wall with fans reaching over. It was close but West made the right call.

The commentators ignoring that Verlander got a gift on a pitch 6 inches outside early in the atbat because the Sox getting calls narrative is more fun.

Price got one too.

The count should have been 2-1.

 

[Excalibur]

Price got one too.

His strike zone is all over the place.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Devers!!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

As Mookie makes THE catch lol!!!!!

 

[Waquoit]

Yup, Mookie wouldn't have caught that ball yesterday.

 

[Scoe]

That ball wasnt even reachable for the fans not even close, funny to see those fans holding their hands back.

 

[AreBee1969]

Price has the best chance to pull a gem out of his butt.

Totally off topic, but all I can think of when I hear Jackie Bradley Jr is this guy. I may be the only person to make this leapJackie Rogers Jr. played by Martin Short on SNL.

You are not the only one. Best SNL skit ever, babe.

 

[Scoe]

Kimbrel is in to close.

Based solely on content in this thread, I feel comfortable in announcing that Red Sox fans have surpassed Yankee fans as being the least objective and biggest homer baseball "fans" in the universe, and with continued performance like we've seen in this thread, may surpass nouveau Cubs fans before the WS is over.

Classy post . Hope you enjoy the next week of hoopla and mlb games.

 

[Waquoit]

The Sox won 108 games in the regular season then crushed 2 100-win teams in the post-season. The posers trying to throw shade have the objectivity problem.

It should be a well played series. I'll watch. But I'll be rooting for the mid-budget ($157 mill) Dodgers from the league that still plays real baseball!

"Posers", lol. Just calling 'em like I see 'em.

You have a xwOBA of .000.

I don’t doubt that. You haven’t gotten anything right the entire thread.

Amazing stat - Boston is 5-0 on the road in the playoffs against 100 win NY and 103 win Houston. Really unbelievable.

115 total wins this year regular season and postseason.

And kudos to Price. Best game, considering the circumstances, that he's pitched in a Sox uniform. 3 days rest. Just like Lowe on 2 days rest against NY in the 2004 ALCS. Just outstanding.

Gimme the Dan Hurley 100/100. Chicks dig the long ball.

Besides, paying 100 bucks to see some guy hit about as poorly me every other inning or two just sucks.

Agree. Price was really good.

So you're a chick?

In the NL, pitchers came to bat 4805 times during 2018. There are 15 teams. 162 games. That's 1.977 plate appearances per game by pitchers per team. Less than two. Since complete games are all but meaningless these days, the last 4-5 innings you'll generally see pinch hitters instead of pitchers at the plate.

fwiw, over the past three years, the difference between AL offense output and NL offense output is negligible.

 

[storrsroars]

I don’t doubt that. You haven’t gotten anything right the entire thread.

If I haven't gotten anything right, then that means you don't think Cora is manager of the year in the AL (which I posted upthread).

Make up your mind.

1) yeah pitchers hitting is abysmal. They are so mad and so many bench players are wasted on useless pinch hitting solely because of it.

People using bumgarner to try and justify it need to realize bumgarner isn’t a good hitter either. He’s pretty bad too.

2) I’m happy that someone else besides me got hit with the dan hurley autocorrect for the designated hitter.
