Porcello vs Sabathia...Could be a fine Italian Wine vs Rib Roast as well...Start time 8:07 pm EST on TBS.
Sabathia struggled vs Sox earlier this year, Porcello kept us alive in game one and slowed their comeback...Lets play this like game five and continue to play like we have all year...
I personally leave lineup as is...In Cora we trust though
Price for long relief but hopefully our fine wine continues to age and gives us 6-7 strong and he leaves up by 5...Go Sox!!! Let’s do this!!
-
Go Sox! This is so exciting!

TP for first post!!! Cannot wait for tomorrow night- we need to keep pushing.

Big lineup moves again..maybe too many? Pierce is 3rd, nunez is back and kinsler replaces Holt....hmmmm...Not loving it..thoughts?

It's the whole lefty/righty philosophy that managers live by. I was expecting the change of the lineup. But, if the Sox chase CC early and they bring in righty, I could see Devers and Holt being subbed in.
-
i hope he makes me eat my words, but kinsler seems pretty washed up to me. I would rather see holt.
I will also add I am worried we will lose tonight, but think we can close it out at home.
-
Nunez got me scared first two games with his tentative throws to first. From that, I would not start him in the Bronx. Holt has been lights out. Cora - prove me wrong- you have earned our trust this year!
Did TBS need to spend whole pregame show with 2003 Grady and Pedro special...brings back the memory of my two sets of unused world series tickets I had for g 6 and g 7 in Fenway- 2003—
-
I think we can get to Potbelly early in and put a big scare into them...shootout potential tonight?
-
Vazquez catching tonight? Interesting decision considering that it's been a year since he and Porcello played together
-
Come on Red Sox! Use this!
-
[dang]...big opportunity there and no Holt in that situation. Ugh!!!

On the bright side, we made CC work a LOT
-
8 pitches for 3 outs, and only gave me one mini heart attack? Not bad!

Loved it! We need to chase Sabs now...no mercy!
-
Porcello is strike machine so far..he looks super focused. We need to strike first..HR’s please!
-
Alright, man on, no outs. Here's our chance!
-
Looks like Pearce was the right choice!
-
Way to strike first! Let's go Sox!
-
Pearce may have been able to score there. CC never even made a move toward home
-
Yes, Lets do this!! 2-0!!!
-
2-0! There's a good chance we chase CC out early, too
I though Gardner was gonna have that, though
And before I can even finish typing, it's 3-0! YES!
-
3-0! Great inning so far!
-
Cora is a God..2 rbis from new players!! 3-0!!!
-
3-0 and CC has thrown almost 60 pitches after 3. I like what I'm seeing!
-
We need Porcello to give them no light now. Come on Sox!!!

Amen to that! Keep the foot on the pedal all the way to the end. Hoping vintage Porcello continues.
-
Keep up those ground-ball outs Porcello! The Yankees have to be feeling the pressure now. Let's hold on to this!
-
24 out of 28 pitches great strikes..painting like picaso. Those strikes flowing like the fine red wine I had to open to calm down a bit! 😁🍷- Lets get a few more runs now!
-
Porcello is absolutely lights out tonight. Great to see him throwing so many strikes
-
Great to see the Yankees have to dig into their bullpen this early... again!
-
Ahhhhhhhhh! I'm sorry I questioned starting you with Porcello, Vazquez!
-
Back, back...gone!!!
-
Yankees trying to make their move here...
-
Sox taking care of business. Good luck Sox fans. would love to see a Brewers/Sox series (with a Brewer win obviously ;D )
-
4 innings, 40 pitches. Hot [dang].
-
Loving this so far! 4 innings in the books, 4-0...Lets put up a 3 spot now so my blood pressure can go back down.
-
WOW! Beating the Yankees!
-
Porcello's in trouble now. Left him in too long

I think he'll make it out of the inning.
As I type that, Aaron Hicks almost launched one.
-
Alexa...oxygen please...whew...we need some more runs now..big pressure pitching..that ump is horrible..
-
Dodged a bullet there. 8)

We didn't exactly come back with a scary top of the 6th following the Yankees 5th inning scare. I don't love only have a 3 run lead, but am happier being ahead than behind.
-
Barnes commanding the plate..have to give credit to Vazquez so far as well...consecutive nights of calling right pitches...keep it up! Lets get a few runs now
-
That ump has been squeezing both Yankee and Red Sox pitchers. It's like he has something about a breaking ball low in the zone or something.

He's still better than he was last night at first. Vomit.
-
Come on, now. That looked like he held up to me.

All night that was a check..not that time..we need to win by keeping door closed..no cracks allowed..come on Sox....keep it up!
-
If the Sox lose this it's because Cora didn't let Porcello go deeper. Just 65 something pitches and he was gone? The Sox bullpen sucks. Doesn't Cora know this?
-
Think I need to go get that Do Damage hoodie. Really like that.

Long story about the word damage..only share if we get the win tonight...
Amazing pitching and catching that innings...Welcome to the bigs...big pressure pitching! Lets do this!!
Asking for runs so I can calm the heart beat down....
-
I don’t love the idea of bringing Sale in.
-
Beatin' The Yankees...
-
worst ump performance ever in a series

I’m not a baseball fan at all and even I knew that was a truly shocking call. Jeesh
-
Bennie gotta put would on that pitch but that ump has been calling that a ball all night and suddenly calls it a strike. That ump has had a really bad two games.

And yet he’s suing MLB because they don’t use him in the World Series. I kid you not. He blames it on discrimination and animosity within the league office.
Or, he just stinks.

When I’m right I’m right.
-
Cora might be on his way to getting balls bronzed for Fenway! Sale...lights out!!!

🍷😁, TP!! One more inning to go..lets do this so I can tell my story of Damage...
-
I hope Sale looks that nasty vs Houston.
Regarding the ump's lawsuit, yeah, I knew about that. Good luck to him winning that suit after the series he has had here. Dang, 3 wrong calls in 4 replays and a strike zone all over the place tonight? MLB wins.
-
Wanna see JD go deep here so Yankee Stadium can start to empty.
-
Well this is fun.
Maybe we can bring Price in.
-
in true Red Sox postseason style, they never do anything easy. may have jinxed you guys by wishing to see them in the World Series prematurely
-
That’s an out.
-
Incredible...holy god!!!! Sox win, Sox win!!!!
-
Wow...that was about as ugly as it could get with the Sox still pulling out the win!
-
Okay, I’m not a purist, but give me 16-1 over 4-3 any night.
-
As a kid growing up in NY suburbs in family of Yankees fans...there was me..Sox fan and sister...Older and Yankees fan..she would torment me and frame me over and over again..she would sing day in and day out...I’m doing Damage..I am doing damage..proceed to destroy part of home and say I did it and I would get punished...eventually I was bigger then her and it stopped but to see that sweatshirt..do damage- I was brought back to childhood hell. and now, it comes full circle..Sox Win...Sox do damage in the Bronx...I so want to be at another Series...I was at game six in 13! I ready...our curses have become theirs....
Lets do this...Beat the Astros!!!
-

Me too! Blood pressure off the charts
-
So what do you guys predict for the Astros series?

At least Price should be effective against them.

I hope..might use Eovaldi as second but I guess Price should not pitch in Houston..faith in 0-9 playoff pitcher is negative

Just regained consciousness! Amazing!
-
So, anymore "we want Boston" chants? ???

Glad I went to bed when it was 4-1. I was able to just assume we won comfortably and fall asleep. If I had woken up this morning and we had lost, then I would have been glad to miss the storm. It's great to finish off the Yankees, now for the dangerous Astros. It's been a fantastic season - let's keep it rolling!

Yeah, I stuck around to watch the Sox celebrating on the Yankees field. It wasn’t worth it.

That sounds awesome ::) I really hope they didn't celebrate that much, but apparently winning the ALDS is basically the same as winning the WS.

I'm with you.
And I've had my fill of Kimbrel. I hope the Sox let him walk this offseason.
