Red Sox/MLB 2018 REGULAR SEASON III - 107-52 - 2018 AL EAST CHAMPS!!!!

[UNB Bruins Fan]

When Baltimore beat Toronto Wednesday night + Boston lost to NY...that was the first time the Orioles gained a full game on the Red Sox since beating them head to head on July 24th.

That was 50 games ago.

Braves clinched the NL East. I don't see that team going anywhere in the playoffs though. They're good, but really beneficiaries of the Nationals having a terrible year and the Phillies dropping like a rock in August/September.

Going into the last week of the season, the only real races to watch for are in the NL West and NL Central, but the latter is probably going to get both wild cards so really Dodgers/Rockies might be the only do-or-die end of year race.

I suppose the AL West is still in play with the A's within 3.5 of Houston, but I doubt the Astros will drop that lead in a week and again, the loser gets a WC anyway.

I don't care if they get swept. Got them +140 to win the East in mid July when they were in second, but had a massively better run differential. The Phils were always coming back to Earth, though I didn't expect to win this one quite so easily.

It's nice being able to watch NESN outside New England. The Yankees will lose in the first round.

How?

 

[EverettMike]

How?

I imagine the other team will win more games?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

How?

MLB network which is probably blacked out in NE this game. I'm hoping for extra innings.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Johnson did a good job, but don't walk the first 2 hitters in the bottom of the 10th inning!?!

 

[EverettMike]

Joe Kelly with some magic.

 

[GlenFeatherstone]

Angels just put up 5 in the 8th on Astros. Should rap up Home field throughout tonight one way or the other

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Cora must want to go home.

Where’s Thorburg been? He injured again?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

This looks bad for the Sox.

 

[JRull86]

God Pomeranz is useless.

Or Ty Buttrey could come in for Anaheim and get his teeth kicked in and the Astros retake the lead.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Good try, Drew. Thanks for coming out.

God Pomeranz is useless.

The post-game changed how I feel about thaqt inning a little.

First batter should have been an out. Devers let that ball play him. If he comes in on it he doesn't have to spin and make a bad throw. Second hit was a nothing groundball right at the shortstop, only X was shading to second. First two batters were groundballs that should have been out.

The double steal was bad, but that led to an IBB, followed by a hit in a no outs, based loaded extra inning situation. Felt a little like bad luck.

Ohhhhh gotcha

I meant the NESN outside of New England part

I just read some article that was trying to claim that CORA HAS A TOUGH DECISION IN FRONT OF HIM vis a vis Devers vs. Nunez at 3B in the playoffs. It was as dumb as it sounds.

Starting Nunez because Devers makes errors every once in a while would be a Claude Julien move.

Especially if Devers continues to hit

It is officially Ken Harrelson Day in Chicago - Today is his final broadcast. Mercy!!!! ( Which he stole from the late, great, Ned Martin ) — watching Chicago Cubs vs Chicago White Sox.

I'm watching on MLB. Hawk and Stone (Stone also worked with Harry Caray) are both great and Hawk played with Ted Williams. I agree with Gee Wally that Fenway and Wrigley are the 2 best HF usernames ever! HE GONE!

 

[N o o d l e s]

Didi out for the season. Big blow if they can get past Oakland.

Although Neil Walker seems to kill us to if they go Torres at SS and Walker at 2b then who knows...

 

[Fenway]

and this career is OVAH

The only reason he went to Chicago was because Jean Yawkey fired him

He was called a homer. He's the White Sox announcer! He works for the White Sox! What do people want? The Red Sox announcers to root for the damned Yankees! Craziness.
