10/17 ALCS game 4

[fxkatt]

Charlie Morton is 15-3 this season with a 3.13 ERA, 167 innings, 201 strikeouts with a 1.16 WHIP.

The 201 k's are surprising and impressive.

But yup, he hasn't pitched since 30 Sept. in large part because the Cleveland series ended quickly.

Sacrilege! You can go a night without sleep for this.

Seriously, do you know how late I stayed up as a 10 year old during the 04 ALCS? It was cool my dad was encouraging me to stay up though. Red Sox first, school second!

Your dad knew how to raise a kid!

I've been sick and my closest friend is in the hospital. Last night was the night with no sleep.

Sale pushed to game 6. If there is one.

Initially the posted lineup for the Astros was completely different from what it is now. Bregman moved to the top of the order. Springer now there to protect Bregman. Gonzalez up in the order now ahead of Gurriel. Very different lineup in an effort to shake Bregman from the Sox plan.

1. Mookie Betts (R) RF
2. Andrew Benintendi (L) LF
3. J.D. Martinez (R) DH
4. Xander Bogaerts (R) SS
5. Rafael Devers (L) 3B
6. Steve Pearce (R) 1B
7. Brock Holt (L) 2B
8. Christian Vazquez (R) C
9. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF


1. Alex Bregman (R) 3B
2. George Springer (R) CF
3. Jose Altuve (R) DH
4. Marwin Gonzalez (S) 2B
5. Yuli Gurriel (R) 1B
6. Josh Reddick (L) RF
7. Carlos Correa (R) SS
8. Martin Maldonado (R) C
9. Tony Kemp (L) LF

I like your dad.

I am incredibly happy with this 8:40 start as I don’t get off until 8:30. MLB playoff schedule makers have been blessing me with scheduling these games around my work schedule.

OTOH, I much prefer the 5:00 start time of yesterday's game. Tonight's game won't be over before midnight. I have to wake up at 5 a.m.

At his age, he should be able to pull an all nighter with no problem.

So whose pitching game 5?

[Kimmi]

Win!!!

[d-money]

Hope our offense can jump on them early. Need to put a stranglehold on this series.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I’m one of the old ones now, huh?

Under normal circumstances maybe. But as I alluded to above my life is a mess right now.

So whose pitching game 5?

Hasn't been determined yet. Cora is probably waiting to see what happens tonight. Would be either Erod or price on 3 days rest
