The mfy can have Machado, we’ll sign Eovaldi

I think price is mvp, but no complaints

If Price gets through 8, I might like Barnes, brasier, and hembree each do one out

Maybe Price wants a complete game if he can’t get a hit or rbi?

I might include Sale in the RP mixed tonight

Hasn’t Price already done enough in this game? unless he wanted to get an RBI along with his WS MVP?

Imagine if we had Stephen Wright also. I know the Sox aren't going to retaliate on Machado in this series because that's not the goal. But it would be hilarious if Pearce caught a ball at first and turned and lowered his shoulder into Machado's face as he tried to step on his foot again. And then Pearce could just say that he couldn't get out of the way. I can't imagine how many fans are going to get kicked out of Fenway the next time Machado visits. Imagine if we had Rich Hill

when playing against the team that has Machado, have our 1B wear special shoes to give Manny a nasty surprise when he does his dirty play
The game plan against Buehler should be to just extend each AB until he reaches 100 pitches, we did this the first inning, then got away from it

If we have small lead in game 3, it’s possible that we should try to bank it with Eovaldi and see what happens in in 4

Nunez's was the first PH HR of his career, the first PH HR in a WS game 1 since Kirk Gibson, and just the second pinch-hit 3-run HR in the WS since Bernie Carbo (Bill Bathe, Giants, 1989). No one's ever had a WS PH GS. The next time bases are loaded, in a critical situation, Cora has Nunez pinch hit for Martinez, knowing the Dodger would rather walk in a run rather let his pitcher face the stress of pitching to Nunez, hence the no WS PH GS stands

The questions is do we let him change his name to redsox04071318chps or not? I'd be down with that! 4738 is shorter

I just want to remind folks that I was pretty widely castigated here for suggesting that Mookie play second base in NL teams’ parks to keep his and JD’s bat in the line-up. What makes you think Sox fans have strong opinions one way or the other?

Lets not say: dump one of the three catchers. We are open to a stupendous offer for an extremely talented player under contract at a friendly rate.
also, anyone reactivating an old thread like this should edit the title, I almost had a heart attack

I would let the 3 game wc go with the September 40 man roster, this way, they are less stressed out with the 3 extra games in relation to the div winner

Joe mauer grand slam!! 10-1 twins. Even the twins can’t blow that lead right? Twinkies aren’t pushovers after all

IBB to load the bases with Xander due up. Oh, Tito... IBB of Brock Holt to load the bases?!? They should have IBB Nunez!

Didn't Porcello win the game vs Scherzer with his double earlier this year? Yes he did and against his buddy and CY candidate no less. At this point in the season, I'm still taking no injuries over all else. They aren't in desperate need of wins. I think they'll be able to win a game or two without their pitchers hitting home runs anyway. there was a game with Bartolo Colon pitching for in interleague, he swung so hard that the hurt himself

Kimbrel should be offered an extension before he becomes a free agent. I think 3 years for $52m with 2 team options @ $15m each should get it done. My concern with flame pitchers is when the flame diminishes. Does Kimbrel have the pitch mix to warrant a high salary? Papelbon 1 very good and 3 good years after age 30 (31-35). Is it worth the risk?

The best reliever in the last week has been Pomeranz... I hate the dude, but at what point do we start looking him as a top 5 or 6 arm out of the pen, especially being a lefty I'm not so sure Pomeranz is a great answer out of the bullpen. He was still 87-90 mph out of the bullpen. He looked better, but he has only faced the Orioles so far. We'll see. It’s important to have pitchers who can throw the flame like koji

This might be dumb, so be gentle but.... What about moving Sale to the bullpen for the playoffs? If you start Porcello, Price, ERod... you figure on good days they can be great and see what you get. If they are all good, Sale can be a short man. If anyone falters (or hits an early pitch limit) he can basically piggyback. Put differently: is a dominant starter worth more or less than an Andrew Miller-type dominant swing reliever who can give multiple innings across multiple games? In 07, Beckett pitched 8 in of g1, Pap closed 2ip in each of g2-4 for 6?. SF in 14?, Baum started g 1 and 4, then came in relief for G 7

Interesting problem developing for the Sox. Phillips is in shape and looks ready and in a week or so Kinsler should be back, but there is no room for them with Nunez being hot and Holt coming around. I don't see a problem. I see Kinsler taking the starting job because he's the best 2B. only 20 days to 40-man, lets not make a mountain climb when the truck-grade road is so close?
