Start Sale on 3 days rest and then go to Rodriguez???

Get 6 innings from those two and you still have Kelly, and Brasier for an inning each.

Kimbrell threw 28 pitches. He may not be available or only available for 1 batter. Barnes threw 23. Not sure what he can give-1 or 2 batters?

Porcello threw 61pitches. He may he available for 1-2 batters.

Dodgers are in better shape but did have 3 relievers throw 2 innings each and another throw 1.2 innings.

Tonight is pure adrenaline game. Who ever wins tonight wins the series.

Dodgers aren’t in better shape because you guys can hit and they can’t. To me the team that will score more runs vs the others team tired and whacked up rotation will now win. Throw lefties today keep their lefty hitters off the radar and score some runs you’ll be back to where you expect.

That sounds like a Tim McCarver Master of the Obvious line that would make me want to throw my remote through the screen.

That's the winning recipe for sure.

That was my first three years of college.

Anyway, I fell asleep in 15th. Figured it was over. Shocked when I woke up to find LAD won it.

Eovaldi is now out of the Pirates price range.

I don't think I've ever seen a player abused so often in one game (Nunez). Dude has to be sore as hell when he wakes up today.

Yeah that was Captain Obvious huh. I think you know what I meant but reading it again I'm even wondering,

Anyway the better offense is the favorite at this point, better?;)
 
I gave up after 11. Figured Hembree would walk 4 straight guys.

I don’t see how to fault Cora. I was shaky about playing JBJ instead Benny but then JBJ hits a homer in the 8th.
 
On a side note, I'm enjoying the MLB replays of Sox radio calls. Neverett was solid announcer while with Bucs, although he had a tendency to misjudge deep flies. But liked his voice and cadence, which reminds me a bit of the great Bob Murphy. Happy for him he gets to call a WS after so many years with crap Pirates teams.

Yeah I agree thought Benetendi shouild've been playing as I don't believe you lose enough throwing Mookie in C but again, JBJ came through. Hard to fault Cora too much not used to the no Dan Hurley stuff and add another game to that trying to figure out your moves ahead, tough game to manage.

The descrepancy between Benny’s offense and JBJ’s is a lot wider than the Defense in JBJs favor. However JBJ seems to have the “clutch gene” that no other regular player has on this team.
 
So would they have just kept playing past 3:00 a.m. if that game was at Fenway?
 
The play before the Kinsler play Nunez needlessly (in my opinion) falls backward into the stands allowing the Dodger guy to take the extra base and then score on the Kinsler gaffe.
If he’s still on first when Puig hits the ball maybe Kinsler does the quick flip to second base to end it.
But Nunez loves the drama
 
Interesting factoid: "The entire 1939 World Series finished in less time than Game 3 of BOS/LAD, wrapping up in a tidy seven hours, five minutes. The Yankees swept the Reds in that one, with none of the four games lasting longer than two hours, four minutes."

The top 4 Spots in the lineup went something like 0 for 28....and people want to question Cora.....

SOmetimes the players just don’t execute.

I'm questioning Cora for his use of the rotation and bullpen. I could care less what happened in the game last night, he put this pitching in shambles the way he overused them last night.

He has 2 lefty starters who can both go today.

He went for the kill with Eovaldi and won it until kinsler tried to kill a camera man instead of taking the easy out at first.

Who? Sale with a bum shoulder and on 3 days rest? Rodriguez, who has not thrown more 2 innings in over a month?
 
TitleTown said:
The Red Sox will NOT win another game this series, their rotation and bullpen are in shambles! Cora got out-managed by Roberts big time tonight! The Red Sox should be 3-0 right now, but Kinsler makes an error on a play that EVERY high school 2b in the country can make. Boston made far too many fundamental, mental, and physical mistakes tonight, and honestly, did not deserve to win that game!

Red Sox will probably still win in 5.

Eddy and Pom are ready to go. That should be able to get you at least 5 innings or so.

ZERO chance of that happening, ZERO chance of Red Sox winning World Series at all, Red Sox do not win another game and the Dodgers win this World Series in 6!

Even if it was 2 Innings each. Everyone threw under 30 (besides Eovaldi) and is read to rock again.
 
If Cora is so brilliant, he must've put Pomeranz on the roster for a reason, right? The guy hasn't pitched in a live game for 27 days, so he's certainly rested (and he did pitch a clean inning in his last outing, lol).
 
mauconnfan said:
Easy to win as a coach when the top of the order is 12 for 16 in regulation so this is the time he needs to make all the right moves. But this game takes you beyond the every game moves and he made a couple big mistakes the biggest mentioned by Viking. He needed to bunt Vasquez with 1st and 2nd no one out, that was a must.
Expand ...

I think it's tough to make all the right moves in an 18 inning game. You just can't really plan for it. No excuse on what you mentioned, just saying. It's not the same as your standard 9/10 inning game.
 
the Q said:
I will ask why Pom is on the roster over Wright if you’re so afraid of using him that you let Eovaldi throw 6 and bat twice
Expand ...

Why take a guy out who is dealing? I don't get that.

Game 4 can be started by Pomerantz. But this particular game was for the taking so you give yourself the best opportunity to do that. Which is the guy throwing darts.

Shoulda told the Sox that last night. They forgot.

JBJ's been hitting a bit so why not keep him in with his superlative D? He's such a streaky hitter that if he's going good, you ride him.

They would have to shut down concessions at 2am haha. Can you imagine how drunk and belligerent that crowd would have been?

This is a hilarious take man. I'd be happy to put as much money as I had in the world on your last statement. Lemme know.

I don't think the Dodgers are capable of winning in Boston. Especially if it's cold.
 
Anyone talking about tiredness is being a bit silly. There's at most 4 games left in the season. Everybody throws until their arms fall off. There's nothing after this.

You don't need to preserve their arms for the long haul. You ride them like a pack mule into the dirt.
