    Both Porcello and Fister have had a lot of problems with the first inning....so you almost have to have ERod warming up alongside the SP for a "quick hook" to be useful. Otherwise we could easily be down 3-4 runs by the the time we pick up a bat.

    Interesting factoid:

    Without looking it up, which POSITION player has the highest WAR on the team after Mookie?
    And which position player on the postseason roster has the LOWEST WAR?

    Even if you're "right" in picking who Farrell grabs, it's the "wrong" decision.
    Check the actual roster, big guy. I got everyone right except I had Barnes and Farrell with with Carson, which is fine with me.

    Yes, people have different opinions. It's true.

    Not sure the point of your comment.

    Well, I was going to say I think that Farrell makes good decisions. But its just my opinion. We both are right.

    I am hoping for Sale to do something this game. Feels weird to root for the sox, but I want my team to win a WS. Hell, we came this far. And we don’t beat the Stros. You guys are gonna have to do it for us

    Well even if you get by the Indians you do realize that when the Sox get past the Astros they will neutralize Judge even if they do lose to CC again. Be careful what you wish for.

    The Astros are just better than us. When a team is superior, you need a starter to step up and carry your team to a few victories in a short series. Bob Gibson did this. Josh Beckett did this. Sale didn't do this, and, as a result, the Red Sox are going to lose.

    If Sale is dominant in game one, giving the Red Sox a victory, and is waiting for the Astros in game 5, the Red Sox would only need to win one more. Sale was our only hope. He was a disaster and now the better team will prevail.

    This is why Dave Cameron was right when he argued that the Red Sox shouldn't trade Moncada and Kopech for Sale. The Red Sox gave up too much for a short term upgrade. Dombrowksi "went for it" but that strategy carries significant long term risks. If Sale doesn't deliver a championship, you lose the deal by a wide margin.

    They will need to manage Sale differently next year, cut down on his innings earlier in the season so that he doesn't experience a Sept and Oct swoon. They still have two years to win with Sale, but Moncada and Kopech will likely outperform Sale in the long term, and, perhaps even in the soon-to-be near term.
