Red Sox versus Cardinals World Series Thread

yup! roster turnover is the primary reason why i never bought expensive jerseys.

One of the many reasons God invented duct tape..........

It depends on how you are with technicalities. I say that, as Carpenter is sitll technically a Cardinals player, and, Matheney was a player on the 2004 team.

Good point. Carpenter is more like a pitching coach at this point. It was amazing to get as many great years out of him as we did

carpenter didnt play in 2004 either

one of the reasons they got swept, they had no #1 or #2's on that WS roster

That's right! Carp gets a technicallity X 2!

So who is the best guy no one is talking about on the Red Sox right now? Ill admit to have only seen 2 of their games this year

I hope David Ortiz knows where is 1B glove is. He will need it, as I just saw he will play 1B in St. Louis over Napoli. No word, and probably no thought of having Napoli catch at all though.

he has never been a liability out there playing first

in fact, in 2004, he made a key defensive play in game 3, picking Suppan (I think) off third to complete double play

he's a bit of a statue, however

It would have to be 8th inning set up guy Tazawa. 72 K's & 12 walks in 68 i.p this year.

Breslow has been better, particularly late in the season

but good call, Big

Not too different than the Cardinals have Matt Adams at first. Adams has played well defensively so far, too

2 guys that don't hit cheap home runs, though Papi certainly has the playoff edge.

I do not want to see Morales pitch seems all he does is walk everybody

It makes for a tough call, as the combo of "Red Sox player" & "under the radar" don't usually fit together at all....

fits for a lot of guys this year

You want left handers against the Cardinals. Its the difference between giving up a .240 avg and like a .280 avg IIRC

Cards crush RHP

Maybe this is just me, but, when I see and think Matt Adams, my mind goes to Adam Dunn.

Both huge, corn-fed farm boys, with the same few likely outcomes from their mighty hacks....

Morales will just walk all of them

Redsox in 6

 

[BigDDude]

Good luck talking up and talking about the latest player from Cuba that is likely to make an MLB impact.

I say that, as I have zero idea on how you would pronounce Odrisamer Despaigne

Holy shit is that really a Tenac sighting. Cards in 6
