So do we go the offensive lineup or better defense? No Iglesias for playoffs Depends on JDM. If he isn't there it's Schwarber at DH, Dalbec at 1b, Arroyo at 2b and an OF of Verdugo, Hernandez, and Renfroe.

How about Cora, 1st year we win the East and win the title. He’s comes back his 2nd season and clinch home field wild card game.

Yeah I didn’t give him credit because he didn’t coach but he was not able to. That sucks to have that on his record.

We have to win the Eovaldi against Cole matchup. It’s going to be hard to beat them bullpen against bullpen Feed me Chapman if god forbid the Yankees have a lead in the 9th. I welcome him pitching in that environment at Fenway. Some of the other guys, not so much

I’m ok with Houck, Whitlock and Pivetta to close out MFY’s after Eovaldi.

Anti-Devers folks line up. I’m ready to go. AWD. MVP Add: Just imagine how great Devers could be when he is as old as, like, Dalbec! We have anti-Devers people?

Sox basically got the whole bullpen the day off. Yankees had to use all their top guys. Wonder if that comes into play Tuesday. Eovaldi has to go six regardless, then hopefully Houck and Whitlock can take us home

I just saw the cemented draft order and we get to play the game at Fenway AND pick immediately ahead of the Yankees? Huge W

If you want to get an idea of the passion from Red Sox Nation all you have to do is read the game day threads right here on SP!!!
Win or lose it is always a fascinating read. Sometimes I smile from ear to ear, sometimes I just shake my head.
How much better does it get than an elimination game against the MFY in Fenway.
Great win tonight. Pay Raffy!

Line opens at Yankees -105 To those on this board who have been saying the Yankees will definitely win a head-to-head WC game, I hope you’re cashing out your savings and flying to Vegas.

Luetege threw as many pitches as Houck in their blowout, but other than that they’re totally rested. It again comes down to whether or not the MFY’s offense cooled down in the Rays series. Our bats need to show up early, the MFY bullpen is not the Washington bullpen

On the one hand, we're due to beat these guys. I'm not going to entertain the other hand.

Would Iglesias become eligible if someone gets hurt and has a season ending injury?
