Great series win by the Red Sox.

Not that it should have made a difference, but I wonder if the Arozarena steal of home in game 1 had any effect on the series. It felt disrespectful, as if they didn't respect their opponent. The Red Sox team looked dead in game 1, and Tampa looked unstoppable. Did that steal change the attitude of the Red Sox players to an FU mode?

Sox said they were fired up by Ray’s eating popcorn in the dugout, and by the Rays ordering champagne delivered to Boston.

Seems like a franchise that has never won a title and that has very little "greatness" in its history would have a bit more humility.

Dodgers got the last laugh and beat the Giants in their turf. We may be getting a WS rematch again

Anyone know why Sale got pulled after 2 innings?

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Bad control. Good contact by Houston. High pitch count. Bailed out by a great defensive play. It was only a matter of time before he blew up

That’s disappointing. Picked a bad time to go into a funk..  :-\

I don’t think it’s a funk tbh.  I think he just isn’t fully recovered from his injury yet.  We protected him some in the regular season by playing him against trash teams, but now he’s having to face real offensive lineups in the playoffs.

Hopefully we’ll see a return to the old Chris Sale next season.  For now, I just hope he keeps us in games.

Horrible  :-\

I'm thankful Altuve didn't send it out of the park for a grand slam when he loaded them up, not that it mattered in the end  :(

BUT we only need to steal one, and hopefully Nate gives us five solid innings in Game 2.

Not sure what you mean. Sale started 9 games in the regular season, was 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA and struck out 52 batters in 42 innings pitched. He was also throwing 98mph yesterday. He’s definitely in a funk right now.
