What on Earth was that?

That was some Farrell era baserunning there.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Oakland catching Houston is stunning

It is on the surface but not really. Altuve and Correa have been out a while and Correa just got back plus Springer got hurt and missed time. I expect them to re-overtake Oakland once they get back into the swing of their normal lineup.

It would be good not to have to play both Houston and Cleveland.

They were looking st 6-0

Brutal

#38 for JD

Your everyday, run-of-the-mill, vanilla 7-4 DP. That was some base running.

Price rounding into bullpen form.

So looking ahead to next week the Sox will miss Clevinger which means they get both Carrasco and Kluber. They’ll also miss Bauer due to injury. Encarnacion still out as well.

All in all a bit of an undermanned Cleveland squad but still a great August test.

Nice to see Kimbrel have a quick, clean inning.

No matter what, you have to get through a gauntlet in the AL. The A's have been one of the best teams since the end of April / early May. There will be no easy outs in the AL at all. I am not sure if I can remember a bigger gap in terms of quality between AL and NL playoffs.

What a jerk Price was in the post-game interview.

[LSCII]

Such a unlikable guy. Comes off like a dick every time he speaks.

 

[KrejciMVP]

could imagine him opting out if he keeps pitching well and has a good playoff run

So you're saying we're stuck with him? Yeah, I think so too...lol

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

I used to have have some pretty negative feelings for John Lackey (similar to how I feel about Price), but he pretty much redeemed himself entirely with his intensity and drive to win it all in 2013.

I am hoping Price can do the same. I know it can be a tough media in Boston, but the guy has been a grade A ass**** from pretty much the day he arrived. The "I'm worth 30 million/year and you're not" kind of ass****.

If he had skin thicker than a sheet of paper, the media would also probably not push him as much for a quote (if that is really what he wants). Sadly enough, that is their job...not to be able to identify his adjustments.

Question asked to him was so easy too, they ask that to hockey players all the time. This was all on price being grumpy

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Price is now going out of his way to be a prick. Such an unlikeable person

I could care less if Price is an ass or not. If he pitches like he's been pitching lately heading into the playoffs, really that's all anyone should care about.

No it's not. I as a lifelong Red Sox fan want to not only see them win, but want to actually like the players they have on top of that. If they had a winning team but a bunch of asshats, it detracts from the winning.

The best examples I have are these: Chris Nilan on the Bruins. Love the team, hated the guy. Made me sick to see him wear a Bruin's sweater, and I certainly did not cheer for that loser. And Wil Cordero on the Sox. Beats his pregnant wife up with a telephone because she interrupted him, gets suspended, comes back and hits a game winning HR, and the crowd cheered for him. Not me. The guy was a dirt bag, regardless of the win or any big hit he may have gotten.

So yeah, it does matter if the player is a likable guy or is going out of his way to make sure everyone knows he hates it here. If he hates it so much, opt out. Stop taking the money and go somewhere you will be happy playing for.

Absolutely God damn right
