Look at Ray Ray Run

I'll be there tomorrow as well. Leggggo

Maybe buy yaz a beer since he turned the entire game around.

I always wanted leury to play. Knew it all along. My guy lol

Maybe the best crowd I've ever seen. Right up there with Game 2 of the WS. Fucking Yaz turned the entire game around and hopefully the season with that homer. The haters were furious

Everyone in the crowd chanting no. Why the fuck is bummer being pulled

I think the truly amazing thing about this is the implication he is making is you can NOT take someone like Leurys bat out of the lineup ?

Seager is going to cost like 150 million more than Semien, how in the world is he more realistic?

Except for the games he's already played and been better than replacement level? Weird post.

It turns out that when you acquire HOF'ers when they're 150 years old, they're not actually as good as they were when they were in their prime. Who knew?

The irony is the move was bad BECAUSE the process was bad. Investing that much capital in a set up man, when you already had a dominant closer, was asinine given the holes on the roster in RF and 2B.

I just can't with you and this nonsense today. Have a good one. The bottom 3 in the sox order are 2-22 with 9 k's and 0 bb's. bottom 4, 3-30 with 11ks

They had 5 hits in the first game. The team had 7.

Yeah, how will a team ever score runs with a 444 obp, a 778!!! Obp and a 556 OBP. You should honestly just log out and change your password if you're going to whine about those 3 and you should consider not being a fan of the sox anymore if you're going to cry about luis robert production being too many singles.

Uh, 1400+ ops, 1000+ ops, 900 ops. Next thread.

Fair, kinda... Yaz has crushed the ball a few times in big spots but hit it right at people. Some bad breaks. But he's gotta step up and put it where they aren't. I'll give you some of that.

Imagine writing a thread complaining about how Abreu, Anderson and Robert have performed this post season.

The top of the order has balled out in the playoffs. Next.

The comedy is you thinking the red Sox wouldn't trade Devers (4.7 fWAR) for moncada (4.5 fWAR) and kopech. Or you thinking the sox would do something so stupid. I swear to God the moncada slander on this board is so f'ing dumb.

This shit is just too funny not to share. I honestly cannot believe people think the solution for 6 era kimbrel was to replace the best closer in baseball with him. You can't fix this level of idiocy. This narrative that kimbrel can't get people out or throw strikes because it's not the ninth inning is one of the dumbest things I've read this year.

I always root for Chris still, but man he has been bad the last 3 weeks. I have a hard time rooting for the Rays because ownership is such scum, but Randy is a lot of fun to watch in the playoffs. Really rooting hard for the Giants. Buster is my guy, and a lot of other good guys on the team/in the organization.

Oh look, Harold pretending LaRussa did nothing wrong again. Weird to see.

Sorry about the pup loss man. My dog is what kept me calm and relaxed today, really not worth getting fired up during a baseball game. Love the Sox, but happy to be in the playoffs. I'm going to enjoy the playoff games regardless of outcome because it's not like we're a spoiled fanbase experiencing them every year. As we both said, the series isn't over. This team is a different beast at home. Would not at all be surprised to run over the Astros the next two games at home. I trust Dylan and Carlos a lot too. Could easily see a 10 spot dropped on Sunday.

I hope you're right, but this year put a really sour taste in my mouth. His approach has just been disastrous at the plate.

Yeah, he put all his guys in the worst position possible to succeed, as if he was trying to. Crochet? Been bad with inherited runners and bad in back to backs. Leury? Been awful in RF and has no business playing the OF in the playoffs. Hernandez? Hasn't hit at all but has really struggled versus velocity. Vaughn? Can't hit a slider from a righty to save his life. Kimbrel? Been bad in any pressure spot. It's just bad managing.

To be fair, I think this is his floor which isn't a bad floor but it's also not a crazy outcome to expect which is a bummer to an extent given the tools and abilities he has. He does have more power than Carlos though.
