World Series GDT: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Boston Red Sox

[P2F]

Game 1 is Tuesday at 8:09 PM EST.

 

This should be a great series, but can any team really beat the Red Sox in a best-of-7? From the entire NL field, the Dodgers would have the best chance to do so, imo.

 

Who you guys got?

 

 

It's hard not to cheer for Walker Buehler, I'll tell ya what.

Definitely Boston. Puig and Machado's antics are really pissing me off, although I also think Boston is the better team. With their higher emphasis on putting the ball in play, they're also well suited to playing cold weather games in a park you're not gonna hit it out of in October.

I'm starting to get Machado, but what does Puig do that really pisses people off? (Aside from the old fans that have a stick perpetually up their ass?)

[Grant77]

The Dodgers have more talent, but hopefully they don't roll over and die like Houston did. That was the worst postseason performance of recent memory, especially on the hitting side of things.

uhh Cleveland?

 

I guess you did say recent memory

[King]

Houston hit .219/.337/.385 w/ 21 runs scored in 5 games

 

Cleveland hit .144/196/222 w/ 6 runs scored in 3 games (and that was only because Lindor had a 1.273 OPS)

 

lol grant

[Carlos Danger]

Price has one decent playoff game as a SP. Sale was in the hospital last week.

 

I want Boston to win and think they will, but those are two serious isues.

 

Lastly, when in the NL park, not having the DH is going to further weaken Boston more so then LA.

[TheHurl]

Red Sox in 5, make it a 3 year run of the best team winning.

[Boxcar]

Lol @ the Dodgers having more talent. Looking forward to the impending grant meltdown.

Quality of opposition is an important consideration. Cleveland's opponent led the league in pitching WAR, which was more than 50% higher than Houston's opponent.

Against the Astros, the Red Sox started Sale, Price, Porcello and Eovaldi, and the bullpen included Kimbrel - that's better than the vast majority of teams and is pushing top 5. It's not like the Astros were playing the Orioles.

Hoping the Dodgers win, but Boston will win it in 5 or 6. It’s their year.

[BTS]

I would love to see some old-school pitching duels, and less bullpen games. I'd love to see Kershaw vs. Sale/Price take a scoreless game into the 8th or something. Really happy Milwaukee lost for that reason.

[Brownie19]

I'd rather see the Dodgers win - just because they haven't in a long time and I like to see some all-time greats like Kershaw get his due. But Machado's such a **** that I hope he's plagued by karma his entire career and never gets a ring.

 

For me - overall, these playoffs have been really disappointing and I really don't care who wins now.

[Spanky99]

Dodgers, f*** the Bosox!

SMH - Buck's doing the World Series. Is Joe West and Angel Hernandez on the umpire crew too? jesus.

Joe Buck's been doing the world series for the last 20 years. Nothing's gonna change.

[Abomination]

Terrible decision there by Puig. You've gotta keep that runner at 1st, especially with a ground ball pitcher.

[Captain Adama]

I kinda wanna see Boston win just to see Grant lose his marbles.

Buck Martinez man....

[Abomination]

I kinda wanna see Boston win just to see Grant lose his marbles.

 

Did he find them again after the last time?

[Brownie19]

Terrible decision there by Puig. You've gotta keep that runner at 1st, especially with a ground ball pitcher.

 

He's not really known for making good decisions...speaking of which - what on earth was Robert's challenging?

 

Kershaw just doesn't look dominant at all anymore.

[Brownie19]

Buck - "there's a certain knack that RBI hitters have with runners in scoring position"

 

f*** me MLB - nobody believes this s*** anymore. Retire this dinosaur.

[Omar]

Kershaw getting squeezed.

[Brownie19]

Wow - Martinez let Kershaw off the hook there...he was on the ropes.

[G-Snarls]

Missed pop. Up

 

Stoken base

 

Runner picked off

 

Bunch of singles

 

Somehow it's 2-0

[gruber92]

Kershaw balked big time on the pick off.

[Orgfiller]

Hell yeah Matt Kemp!

[Brownie19]

Kershaw balked big time on the pick off.

 

What makes you say that? You don't think it was a distinct step towards first?
