Let's GO SOX!

Wonder how exhausted both teams' players are?

It all goes through Mookie, really need him to start hitting.

Oh never mind, he's struck out more in the postseason than I think he did all season long.

Now Beni who has two homers since July 7.

THIS entire postseason - when the Sox score first, they win.

AND sadly, first loss on the road yesterday.

Let's GO SOX!

E-Rod, like Machado, comes from the Baltimore organization.  Apparently they don't teach baserunning.

Sure would be nice if the bats showed any life whatsoever but they look worse than last night.

5 innings - no score.
Sox have 2 hits, Dodgers 1 hit.

DANG IT!

WE NEED to win this game.

The Dodgers have scored in the bottom of the 6th inning.
Dodgers 1 - Sox 0.

HOPE I AM WRONG - the Sox have not won in this postseason
when they do not score first.

DANG IT!

OH - how I wish they had won last night (actually early this morning.)

Interesting comment - a commentator said that since JD Martinez has hurt his
ankle - he has not been the same at the plate. 

DANG IT.

I was standing in line at the store when Vaz screwed up that throw to first and LA scored, and then I come home to 4-0 just in time to catch Moreland's 3-run dinger. Looking better now.

As much as the players are tired after last night, you gotta give some credit to Joe Buck as well. He called Thursday Night football, then that marathon game last night, and now he's at it again. No easy task.

Just saw that David Price is the Game 5 starter.
Thoughts?

WHY not Chris Sale?  Isn't he on regular rest?

My guess is that he's trying to get by "cheap", if that's even an appropriate term. If Price doesn't get it done, then he'll fall back on his ace. Although in the very short-term past, Price has been damn good.

For a rookie mgr Cora is really tactful with the pitching.  Maybe pulled Porce a little early in game 3, but otherwise seamless.

I read an article about sign stealing in game 2.  Lavangie got word that Machado was getting our catchers pitch calls while he was on the bases.  That resulted in LA getting their two runs off Price.  He was stealing the pitch and location. 

It's all a part of the game, but we had to make an adjustment.  Game within the game.

There is more wrong with Sale than anyone is letting on. This will give him 2 extra days rest. After the season don't be surprised if Sale has some type of surgery. You pitch Price tonight but I doubt you'll see any other starter come in if he has trouble. The Sox are putting everything in the 2 games at Fenway where they can use Sale, Porcello, Eovaldi. If they happen to win game 5 it's a bonus.

I agree on Cora, I thought he really screwed up on pulling Porcello but after winning last night it doesn't matter a lot.  But I also like that he learns.  I find it interesting that managers are as eager to pull starters quickly as they are to make their relievers, and especially closers, extend beyond what they normally do.  Last night the right call was to bring in Brasier so you have Kimbrel available if he gets in trouble.  Plus what was up with all the curveballs from Kimbrel last night?  It tells me even more so that he shouldn't have been the prime option and I worry about him in particular, as well as Kelly for going two (an unsung hero in this series for sure).

Fox is funny.  When the Dodgers had their big HR they did a big video montage during the pitching change.  Multiple shots, sound effects, visual effects, etc.  They didn't do that for Moreland's HR or Pearce's double.  But they usually do okay, better than TBS or ESPN. 

It is amazing that the Sox are up 3-1 when they haven't had much at all from their biggest hitters, clearly have a banged up starting staff and working with a limited set of relievers (you wonder how catastrophic the situation would have to be for instance to get Pomeranz in).  It took LA 18 innings to beat us in a game where we had to use all but one starting pitcher and we gave away runs on both sides of the ball. 

Sale will likely have some sort of surgery within a week.  Rotator cuff? 

Tonight's the night the bats break out.  I expect a blow out and the Sox dance in LA.

Just went through the World Series missives recently since I had never read them because I was in Boston for the whole WS...…..because I didn't listen to my wife who told me to come back to LA after the second game in Boston because the Series wasn't returning  to Boston.  I figured the Dodgers could win two of three in their home yard and I could see the Red Sox win in person.  Next time I listen to the wife.  Still I had to laugh at some of you people who fretted about the 4th game.  IT WAS PLAYED ON OCTOBER 27.....which is my birthday.  The RED SOX NEVER LOSE A SERIES GAME ON MY BIRTHDAY.....THEY WON IN '04, THEY WON IN '07, THEY WON IN '13 AND WON THIS YEAR.   I'm convinced if they get in there next season or the season after that they will still win on OCTOBER 27.

They win on my birthday too which tends to be around the Division Series.
