Game Thread: ALDS- Red Sox /Rays best of 5

[Manster7588]

Well that was fun. I've been watching them rake all year, with 2 outs especially. But I wasn't expecting that, or the series to flip so dramatically. Still like the Rays, they are obviously the best team, but proud to be a Red Sox fan.

Agree, I doubt any sane Red Sox fan has Dreams of Grandeur this season.

I'm just happy the Red Sox are still playing and the Yankees were at home watching that powerful display. Today is the biggest game in a few years for a team who has played (and won) a lot of big games for close to two decades.

Right now they have the hammer, that could very well change before the sun goes down. Obviously this is not a championship team, not even close, so I'll just enjoy the now and be grateful for a much better season than anyone expected.

Just happy to be in the playoffs. Winning the WC game was great, anything else is a bonus.

Let's hope the Red Sox get offense once again today....

Kike Hernandez isn’t seeing the ball very well

Robles is ass.

Robles is ass.

first runs he's allowed since August. I hated the trade at first but he had been pitching better.

Maybe so but I'm still not a fan of pulling relievers with low pitch counts that are pitching well. (Brasier) One of these guys in the pen is going to come out cold. Happened to be Robles.

Yeah admittingly I haven’t watched shit of him since Twins traded him aside from when we faced Sox.

But that looked par the course. Frozen ropes.

I don't disagree, I think it's just asking to burn through your bullpen. Unfortunately this seems to be more of an MLB-wide practice

oh, he was god awful for the first month or so. Felt like they were waving the white flag whenever he came in.

Schwarber at 1st base has been amusing. Love him

 

[mr.hockey4242]

If Arroyo gets on. Hard to see the Sox not winning it here.

Hell, even if he doesn’t. I like Sox odds.

Nope

Ehh looks safe.

How can a Major League baseball player not know how to slide?

4-4 into the 11th

Rays have used 8 pitchers.

Tomorrow's game will be very interesting. especially if it goes into extra innings.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Heckuva job by Pivetta there with 3 K's in the 11th.

Time for the Sox to TCOB here in the bottom half.

 

[bksballer89]

big k

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Blechhh


Well maybe in the 12th.

Taking out Schwarber for a pinch runner may have been a mistake in hindsight.
