Title: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 08, 2018, 11:25:44 PM
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!!

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.

Post by: celticsclay on October 09, 2018, 07:30:09 PM
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.
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 09, 2018, 07:44:31 PM
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

8 pitches for 3 outs, and only gave me one mini heart attack? Not bad!

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!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks

Way to strike first! Let's go Sox!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks

Pearce may have been able to score there. CC never even made a move toward home
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 09, 2018, 08:56:21 PM
Yes, Lets do this!! 2-0!!!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: BitterJim on October 09, 2018, 08:56:31 PM
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!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: hpantazo on October 09, 2018, 08:57:02 PM

3-0 and CC has thrown almost 60 pitches after 3. I like what I'm seeing!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks

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!
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks

Porcello is absolutely lights out tonight. Great to see him throwing so many strikes

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
Title: Re: Game 4, Sox vs. Yanks
Post by: nickagneta on October 09, 2018, 10:11:04 PM
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.

Post by: nickagneta on October 09, 2018, 10:27:59 PM
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?

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.
