Red Sox/MLB WORLD SERIES - Sox roar back to win Game 4 - Price will start Game 5

I want to thank my wife for not letting me go to bed when it was 4-0.

She’s the best.

I wish Pedro was still pitching. He'd have no problem buzzing a 95 mph fastball at Machado's chin because of his antics. After buzzing him he'd look on and tell him next time he won't miss.

Price starting is the safe move, I like it.

1. Kershaw at home will be tough to beat, might as well save Sale just in case Kershaw is lights out - we have the luxury of being up two games.
2. If we did lose game five, going home with Sale on the mound would curb dodgers momentum more than if our ace was used up, it would also put way more pressure on Price.
3. Price in game 5, with very little pressure, actually has a pretty damn good chance of pitching a gem.

As i said, I like it.

Seriously, MLB needs to step in and do something about this guy. It's getting out of hand.

I actually didn't see this play. Not saying Machado didn't spike him but is there video? The pic can be deceiving as you can't tell the depth between his cleat and Pearce's leg.

I think that's all it really boils down to.

I wonder if they'd consider using Sale in the 9th if they are winning.

Considering how Porcello and Eovaldi pitched, I think Cora would be fine throwing those two in a game 6 and 7. Plus we know Cora doesn't mess around. He goes all in for the win that's in frontvof him. I could definitely see Sale out of the pen tonight.

Price with back to back great starts but historically pitchers don't do well on 3 days rest. I know he did it against Houston but that's my biggest concern tonight.

I think it's really point #3. Cora sees the same situation as Price going in game 5 against Houston/Verlander. And they give Sale more rest just in case they need him to start. It's still a risk starting a guy on 3 days rest though.

I missed all the good parts.

Go back to this thread when the 7th starts

Pure gold

Would love to win this in LA. What a an amazing effort last night.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Puiq can always reflect back in fondness to his homerun celebration in that loss.

 

[smithformeragent]

Pearce ended up being a hell of a pick up.

Gritty player.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Who in the Dodgers organization puts up the stupid tweet/instagram for the Sox to use as billboard material today?

 

[Spanky185]

You forget that pitch counts weren’t thing either?

Well theres that too, but I was referring to foul balls, except bunts, not counting as strikes

Yes he spiked him just a bad as he did Aguilar

Starting Price just makes sense

Like you said, no pressure.

Plus it lines up Sale and Eovaldi for 6 and 7

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Go up big tonight and feed Machado sweet chin music with a 95 MPH fastball.

 

[EverettMike]

I thought Hill's last batter looked like a guy who knew he was done, hence his reaction to the K.

 

[EverettMike]

Robert's going to Madson in a big spot was indefensible. He's been the Sox' best player.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Puiq can always reflect back in fondness to his homerun celebration in that loss.

Or each of his routine fly ball catches.

I've never wanted anything more than to see that guy get hit right between the shoulders with a Nathan Evoldi or Joe Kelly 99 MPH fastball. He's such an incredible dink. Literally the living embodiment of being a poor sport. Take your loss like a man instead of a little kitty cat.

 

[Pia8988]

I don't mind Puig's reaction to his HR. It's a huge spot for them.

Machado though. f*** him. Such an unlikable . Deserves a fastball in the ribs every single time he is at the plate, then another one in the back on his way to first.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Do we see the same lineup as last night?

His reaction around the bases was fine. Him coming out for a curtain call with 3 innings left in the game makes him the asshat that he is.

Go up big tonight and feed Machado sweet chin music with a 95 MPH fastball.

While he’s in the on-deck circle...so he really isn’t expecting it.

That I can agree with.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Go up big tonight and feed Machado sweet chin music with a 95 MPH fastball.

Or if the game is too close just wait til he’s on NYY next year

That's pretty standard playoff baseball stuff.
