Series Thread: ALDS: Boston Red Sox vs Cleveland Indians

[redseat]

They had their chances in the 1st inning and failed miserably!

Yes, Pedey did go. Never should have gotten to that point however

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

This would be a perfect time for him to actually pitch like he's being paid too in the post season

If he had last season the Jays would've been in the World Series.

On the other hand, historically he's been pretty awesome at the Jake.

Yes they would have. However, this is the post season.. All those numbers at the Jake mean nothing sadly

Very much, and especially with him.

I'm really, really torn about who I want to win this series. My friend and I want to go to a road game if the Jays make the next round and I've got pros and cons about travelling to each city.

That depends on one's perspective. From mine, it would be a perfect time for him to shit the bed and toss up meatball after meatball.

That game made up for that garbage in Texas earlier today

Yep. Four games into the 2016 postseason, we've seen some awesome games. The only team not pulling their weight are the circle-jerkin' rangers.

Go Rangers.

Tigers deserved to win the AL Central. Doug is right, as he always is.

It's amazing that they remove Price Fielder and the booze-ridden corpse of Josh Hamilton from last year's ALDS lineup and they looked worse yesterday than they did at any point last season.

Helps that they don't have David Price serving volleyballs, I suppose.

"deserve" says the fan of the team that couldn't even finish 2nd in their division.

 

[The Q]

Just some poor at bats and JBJ being incredibly sloppy with his throws (both guys were dead in the water if he didn't miss the plate by 10-15 feet).

Amazing how none of the weaknesses did the sox did, it was the supposed strengths not going their job.

Man baseball is a fun, weird game.

LOL reach lower, my balls didn't even get tickled on that one.

 

[The Q]

The biggest mistake that was made was by their special designated pinch runner, marco hernandez.

He doesn't screw up and we're going to extras.

I was at the game last night.....it was truly unbelievable. My seats were not that great- up in the upper deck on the 3rd base line, but the environment was just crazy.

I have never heard it louder in that stadium then after the 3rd home run by Lindor.....after Perez's it was loud...Kipnis's bomb it was REALLY loud, and after Lindor's it was just mayhem.

Terry Francona proved once again that he is one of the very best in the business.

Lets hope Kluber can pick up some of the slack- as Miller and Allen both threw 40 pitches last night. Tribe got the win so it was worth it- but who knows if those guys will be available today---- Miller I would guess will get called upon to face Ortiz once and thats about it--- i doubt allen pitches.

Yeah my guess for their success is Kluber for 5-6, McAllister through the 7th, Otero the 8th and Shaw the 9th.

Does that sound about right?

I dunno- Francona was joking around after the game saying Kluber will be on a "strict pitch count between 165 and 170" so I bet he stays in as long as he is effective. I am sure if they could get 7 or 8 out of Kluber they would love it--- but against that Red Sox lineup that is far from guaranteed.

I do not want to see Zach McAllister facing the heart of the Red Sox lineup....that would not end well.

I was saying that because Kluber is coming off an injury they probably don't want to run him into the ground like that.

thats true...i dunno...

i think the "injury" thing was a little over-stated. I bet that Francona's decision to pull Bauer was based partly on keeping his pitch count down to start Game 4...


Boston going with Bucholtz and Eduardo Rod. in games 3 and 4???? yikes...
