They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Huge test for Eduardo, is he healthy enough to be dependable? He seems to be constantly on the verge of a huge breakout, I really wouldn't mind a massive post-season for him.

I know game one has a certain playoffs vibe to it but I'm really excited for game 2 with E-Rod (E for Electric) facing the best lefties mashing lineup in MLB.

Feeling good about our chances in all three games - will be happy to take 2 of the 3. Can't wait to get back to baseball tonight.
In Cora I Trust!

If Sale is healthy, this could very well be the games 2-4 matchups in a Red Sox-Astros ALCS that someone will inevitably spoil.

In spite of the one BB, Price looked very solid in the first inning. I’m digging this.

Super-aggressive running by Mookie nets a run on the JDM sac fly. This team does a lot of things well.

It'll be interesting to see how much Cora plays these games to win. They're almost meaningless for the Red Sox, but they're quite important to the Astros.
That was such an obvious check swing by Xander. What the hell is the ump looking at?

I’d think the regular competitiveness of nearly any professional athlete would lead him to want to beat his former team as much as he’d want to beat any other team.

best not to run on Maldonado though (45% caught stealing before that one)

Ask an old timer how meaningless these games are

Ask an old timer how meaningless these games are I am an old-timer! I remember 1978. I have always said that I didn't care if the Sox never won again after 2004 and I still kind of feel that way. I'll only take the good and ignore the heartbreak. This team is not blowing anything.

David Price pitching like a playoff pitcher against a playoff team.
I might take him out after the 6th.
