BGleas Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I made it to the 14th inning last night before calling it quits. Still can’t believe Kinsler didn’t make that play in the 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I felt like I was binge watching a tv show. Just one more episode...gets to the end and they leave you hanging so you have to watch the next one. It will be interesting to watch the Boston pitching staff tonight. If Rodriguez can't go very deep, will they bring in another good starter at some point (Sale?), will they try to stretch out their normal pen guys, will they put in Pomeranz if they get down to try to save guys for tomorrow? So many story lines from tonight's game. Boston really needs 5+ innings from Rodriguez tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to lay with her, intending to watch on my phone but I lasted probably 30 seconds that way. Kinsler should've held the ball when his foot caught the turf.

Win this game, hand Sale the ball to close it out on Game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the normal pen guys are fresh, but will Cora trust them to go 5 or 6 innings or will he want to bring in a starter to try to get a few of them. If Rodriguez goes 5+, no issues. If he only goes 2 or 3, they'll probably need some starter to get them through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a starter available to go more than a few outs unless they burn through Sale, which seems highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale, Porcello, and Price all supposedly went to Cora and told him they could start tonight's game. Under normal circumstances none of them would pitch, but in game 4 of the world series all 3 are on the table. Having said that, Rodriguez has pitched really well and it looks like it will be a moot point unless it goes extra innings again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is the one who could pitch, it has been two days since he started and he only pitched 2/3 of an inning yesterday. Sale, is on three days rest. He could have started, but since he didn't he needs to be saved for tomorrow. Either way, this is all moot as Eduardo has been dealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 The last two games haven't been the most exciting inning to inning games I've ever seen. The overall games are good, but they're dragging a bit in the middle. 5 total runs in 27 innings going back to the end of game 2. I appreciate a good pitcher's duel, but not the equivalent of 3 straight games worth. Should have recorded tonight's game and watched later haha.

Leathernecks Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Well that changed quickly. I think Cora left Rodriguez in a few batters too long and paid the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Just crazy to think that if Kinzler’s cleat doesn’t get stuck in the grass it’s 3-0 right now. Probably should have pulled Rodriguez, though as Fox showed Puig had been really bad against lefties. I just haven’t seen the Sox look this lifeless at the plate as they have the games 3 & 4.

I would have pulled him before the Turner at bat. He was starting to look like he was running out of gas. Hasn't pitched a lot lately, especially long in games. I also don't get Roberts pulling Hill for a lefty who was only going to face 1 hitter. Seems like a waste of a reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 And Madson has been horrible all series. All 5 inherited runners he's had before this inning have scored. Now 7 for 7. Not sure about Roberts' decisions this inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t done much at the plate, really at all this postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been surprisingly disappointing in the postseason his whole career. .230 batting average, no home runs and only 3 RBIs in 20 games and over 80 at bats. You'd have to think at some point he'll snap out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
