Keep it going!

Great baserunning by Chase!

keep the line moving!

both him and chase made nice plays on tough balls.

and that is why colson is at ss and chase is at 2b. good defense.

Good job!

I find the obsession with K on a 2.8 fWAR player bizarre. I get you don't like seeing a SS with 230K and 30+ HR, but it adds up the same as a slap hitting Ozzie guillen's best years.

He was the 14th best defender in all of baseball by FGs this year. Put your eye test away old man.

You guys calling for Meidroth at SS would be up in arms the first time a ball Colson gets to goes through.

Kinda suprised they went with 12 pitchers and kept Pham. Maybe Pham cornered Getz in the elevator again. That said, no big loss not having Richards and they probably feel in a short series all hands on deck it's better to have another PH option than a strictly mopup guy, as if it gets bad either way someone else will eat the innings, maybe even Davis.

Hagen is a dog. Ride and die with your guys. He goes 2 scoreless and we win. Book it.

We're gonna win this series. Astros aren't ready for a hot offense. Our pitching will do enough.

Are we required to give any notice by the league? Seems better to just keep them guessing.

Good. Keep clown ass Jason as far away from this as possible. Dude was practically crying after we swept the Tigers.

especially at that band box. which now plays into our hands more. we are winning this series. we have the better team.

Non intentional intentional walk works but in general agree, they don't have the murderer's row they used to, he's the one guy that scares me. They have some other competent hitters, but not with that sort of game changing power.

stone is a punk imo. he thinks his s%*# doesn't stink he used to do it with hawk too.

Just blue check Sox accounts. The algo is straight garbage to be fair. You like one tweet and suddenly your entire feed is that account or topic. It's maddening. I actually have stopped liking or retweeing certain things just because I don't want my entire feed to be flooded.

Sox twitter is the worst. People are really trying to argue that John losing his job is some sad sack moment? GMAFB. In most universes that don't have an owner like JR, John is still doing slam ball and random Big East basketball games. He was over promoted. Oh well.

With the 40 man as it is it seems like they are just going to roll with him and hope he's just the mop up. I'd imagine Fedde and Kay will be used out of the pen if they don't start. Martin I don't know, he's probably closer to Richards' role than getting any starts. I think your starters are Burke and Fedde as crazy as that sounds. 3rd game would maybe be Kay or you try a bullpen day, which I wouldn't be opposed to in principle.

There are guys out there. I suggested Aaron Goldsmith from the Marines broadcasts. He came up through the minors and radio and is now solid on TV PBP. He can keep it light but also knows ball having put in so much time.

I hate the new format. I like the 2nd WC but I think it should be a 5 game series. I get what @77 Hitmen is saying but I also think there are ways to make it work. Nobody wants in season doubleheaders tho.

Anybody want to project the playoff roster? I don't believe Pham is eligible everybody else no in IL is, I believe. 13 pitcher max. OF: Doyle, Peters, Beni, Grichuk, Montgomery IF: Acuna, Vargas, Meidroth, Mune, Colson, Ant C: Teel, Rogers P: Taylor, Hagen, Burke, Kay, Fedde, Hicks, Sandlin, Newcomb, Martin, Hudson, Noah, Brazoban, Richards

Gross. I'm not going to hate on John anymore I've said my share on him. But Conner is even worse. John had his problems but excitement wasn't one of them. It would be cool if they poached Aaron Goldsmith from the Mariners but I doubt they spend any money on it. Conner is probably cheap.

84 wins is a helluva accomplishment. I figured 84 would have a 4/5 chance at Divison a month ago and 85 would 100% have done it. Give the Tribe credit they took advantage of some breaks and got to 85. Glad some guys could be rested today and we knew last night instead of going for it today and not getting it. I give us a 60/40 chance to win the Astros series. They are not a good team and we've played better baseball the last three weeks.
