Red Sox vs Indians ALDS Official Thread

[baseball player 3.0]

Ortiz pinch run looks so bad now.

 

I never understand why managers take their good hitters out of the game for pinch runners when chances are there spot is going to come up in the lineup again in a crucial situation. Gibby did this a couple times this year with EE and bats and it cost us.

Lol boston

[Leafs2726]

Farrell won't survive this. He was lucky to be managing this year alone.

 

He will be fired.

[jkun41]

f*** the Red Sox. Baltimore wildcard loss, Texas and Boston swept. I feel like a kid on Christmas.

 

Will be nice to not have to see the broadcast booth obsess over Ortiz anymore.

It will be a complete cock slobber over Cleveland in that series against us lol.

Ortiz's spot in the lineup didn't come up during that inning, wtf are you guys talking about?

[RealAccountant]

Cleveland vs Toronto just like in Basketball!

 

Is that the first time that has happened? A conference final with the same cities than an League Championship final with the same cities. ?

[RealAccountant]

All that money wasted on Price

 

I wouldn't call it wasted. Probably Next Year Redsox start off as favourites to win the WS. They have ridiculously good positional players, if they add one more starter.

[intentional wok]

Worth noting that the series win by the Jays forced the Sox to play two in Cleveland. Toronto is directly or partially responsible for heartbreaks in Baltimore, Texas, and Boston.

 

Worth noting: after that 11-game winning streak, the Sox won one of their last nine games, including this series.

It very well could of though. What if it went to extras tied?

[John_Havok]

Suck it Ortiz,

 

.472 OPS

 

Clutch

[ICECOLDBEER]

Ernie Johnson calls baseball????? I knew he sounded familiar.

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

f*** David Ortiz...

 

...for a career full of steroid use (and denying it).

 

...for whining to umpires.

 

...for whining to the scorers about his stats.

 

...for interrupting his manager's press conferences to whine even more about his stats.

 

...for throwing bats at umpires and destroying dugout phones.

 

...for doing an annoying-ass retirement tour after swearing he never would.

 

...for getting a pass on all of this from the league and fans while Bautista gets villainized for less.

 

f*** you, David Ortiz!

[Grant77]

Suck it Ortiz,

Clutch

 

He's got enough clutch in the bank to make up for a dozen series like this. A fantastic career and I respect him a lot, but not his teammates or fans.

I understand the argument, but on the other hand, what if Hanley rips a single into the outfield and the Red Sox don't tie the game because Ortiz was on base? It's a risky decision but it's not like leaving Ubaldo in favour of Zach Britton kind of bad.

[jkun41]

It will be a complete cock slobber over Cleveland in that series against us lol.

 

Agreed, but none of the faces on Cleveland annoy me as much as Ortiz, or Pedroia's. Or Kimbrel's gorilla stance before a pitch.

 

I'm also happy the Jays go against someone in an identical situation. Sweep with 4-5 days rest. No excuses about being rusty.

Couldn't be any more perfect than that. What were the chances of everything happening exactly the way we wanted it.

I remember when some posters were calling the Red Sox unbeatable during their winning streak, and the Blue Jays were choking. Funny how that works.

You don't respect Dustin Pedroia?

[Orgfiller]

You don't respect Dustin Pedroia?

 

There's probably no player unequivocally deserving of league wide respect as Dustin Pedroia. What a gamer.

I dunno If I was Farrell I wouldn't do it with 2 outs since Papi would get at least a chugging start. Also considering it was his last game and the hate he would get if they did tie it and his spot came up again with a chance to walk it off.

Huge gamer. Mad respects for that dude.

[Jonn]

I don't like the fact that he s*** all over his hometown.

[P2F]

Agreed. Pedroia wholeheartedly plays the game the right way; a true class act.

[King]

Great talent! Guy has a plan every pitch and every at bat. Hard not to respect what he's done in his career. Do you think he's a hall of famer if he retired tomorrow? Or does he have to put up 2 to 3 more 4-5 fWAR seasons?

[FireAlexAnthopoulos]

You don't respect Dustin Pedroia?

 

He's slightly more respectable than that massive prick Ortiz, but not by much.

[intentional wok]

I don't like the fact that he s*** all over his hometown.

 

I don't get this. If a place sucks, it sucks. He has every right to say so.

[Grant77]

I applaud the coordination that you guys put into your trolling. Jon ruined it a bit though.
