October 21, 20187 yr 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.
October 21, 20187 yr 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.
October 22, 20187 yr 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 .
October 23, 20187 yr 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.
October 24, 20187 yr Chris Sale is finally pitching in the World Series in a Sox jersey. Way to go Kenny and Rick!
October 24, 20187 yr What do they pay for tender-arm lefties these days. Unfortunate for Chris to be on the big stage with his shoulder not 100%.
October 24, 20187 yr Author 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.

Yeah that and commercial breaks are about a minute longer I believe. In a baseball game, that adds up.
October 24, 20187 yr 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.
October 25, 20187 yr 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.
October 25, 20187 yr Boston has been a juggernaut this whole playoffs. I need them to drop at least one, though...

October 26, 20187 yr So if four inning starters is the new thing does that make Matt Davidson our hoss out of the pen.
October 27, 20187 yr 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.

October 27, 20187 yr Just finished watching the re-run , I could have watched the last few innings live , I think it finished about 9:30 am here.
October 28, 20187 yr In the last 28 innings of this series the 2 teams have combined to score 5 runs.

October 28, 20187 yr Like I was saying, major fail by Cora. Good for Caulfield though, gotta be pumped!
