Fenway, any chance next Saturday’s Bruins-Habs game gets moved to an earlier time?

 

[SanDogBrewin]

And pitching is getting a rest. Lining up perfectly.

He's said a few times he finds it unlikely because it's a national game on Canadian networks which would require a lot of rearranging to move the time on, and the WS is in an NL park anyway. Someone else asked about it because they were traveling and had tickets.

Christ I hope not, I rented a suite for 20 for my son's bachelors party

Is there any chances the Sox would consider Betts at 2B? Obviously Martinez needs to be in the lineup, is keeping JBJ in the lineup worth moving Betts from the outfield? I doubt it happens but it would be interesting. I would prefer JBJ over Kinsler/Holt.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

I get JBJ just had 3 massive hits...but those were also the only hits he had all series. I’m not going out of my way and making huge changes to the lineup to get a career .173 postseason hitter in the lineup. He’s out and used as a PH and defensive replacement.

“Chris Sale said he was hospitalized because of an irritation caused by a belly-button ring. Really, that’s his story and sticking to it for now”

Um...?

I think he’s trolling people big time

 

[Alicat]

It’s amazing to see how many writers think Chris Sale was serious....

Mookie was taking grounders there today. I think that’s the way they will go with Mookie at second and JD in right. Late innings with the lead Mookie goes back to right and Kinsler at second for defensive purposes.

Mlb.com seems to think LA would be a tougher matchup. Reason being is they have 3 lefties who can go toe to toe with them.

On another note, I don't think losing in the WS would be a failure (Unless we see a repeat of game 6 in 86, blowing a 3-0 series lead, or a Rangers one strike away type fiasco we saw in 2011). It would be a dissapointment for a few weeks, but it will be looked back on fondly. Regardless, I believe this team will win it all.


Which team should the Red Sox want to play?

see told you guys

Cora: 'Always a chance' Betts plays 2B in WS

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't see them starting Betts at a position he hasn't regularly played in 3 years.

That said, I think that in an NL park if a game goes to 14 innings and you've made 5 double switches and have no one left on the bench, he could be asked to cover 2nd base.

He did play there in a game earlier this year.

Top of the 3rd, 2-1 Dodgers.

 

[Alicat]

Still 2-1 Dodgers

 

[Knotty Moog]

I haven’t been this invested in a non sox baseball game since little league.

Pleeeease let me go to dodger stadium this Friday!!!

"A chance", I still dont think he plays there though. My guess is they will play the match up. Even though Bradley and Benny are both lefties he will play whoever has the better numbers against the starter or whoever's strengths play to the starters weakness.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

So it's gonna be the Dodgers. Kershaw and Hill will be tough.

 

[McGarnagle]

We should beat the Dodgers in 5 games max.

Key word there is "should"

I hate Manny Machado

 

[Hockeyholic]

Red Sox got the tougher of the two matchups. Wonder how much Sox will be favored by.

 

[Alicat]

Beat LA chants will be awesome to hear again

It’s still early and the Brewers could come back

The one thing why I probably would have preferred to play the Brewers is the factor experience. The Dodgers have been there last year.
And that our splits vs RHP are better than against LHP and the Dodgers have 2 of them.

Well, if we play them like we did vs. Houston, then we're gonna beat them, because quite frankly the Astros are way more talented. The thing is you cannot underestimate anyone and hope they don't take the Dodgers lightly and that being the clear cut favorites doesn't overwhelm them.

But to be honest, Dodgers vs. Red Sox sounds like a great WS match-up, probably the best in a long time on paper.

5 max lol? Seems a bit unrealistic. Dodgers are a damm good team.
