If were a Dodgers’ I have to wonder why the manager left Madson in there after he walked the first batter. With these games all it takes is a couple of couple of bad at bats to lose the game. The show the guy put up .1 of an inning with a 0.00 ERA, but he was more responsible than Ryu for the loss.

I was thinking today that was Cora's plan. Hard to let got of Benny, but having JD, JBJ, and Mookie together, really makes sense. I initially thought Mookie at 2nd, but then you gotta give up Kinsler. Good move.
It would be sweet to tag #3 tonight, that would make a win virtually locked. No slugs these Dodgers and the weather is a total non-issue, home field and they have the crowd. We'll soon see.
although I disagree with Cora's lineup decisions, he has proven this year that he usually makes the right calls. So maybe it's just like football, except we say "trust in Alex"
The Sox are not going to do anything with this guy tonight. Wait until game four. I hate 1 to nothing games. They are so boring. I know the purists think they are great.

Bringing in Price at this point is a big mistake in this series. If he fails, you have used an effective starter in a losing cause. I don’t care for the move.

I'm on the East coast and i stayed for the entirety and I'm paying for it this morning.
The only comfort to take from that game as a Sox fan is the Dodgers got a dominating performance from their starting pitcher last night and it still took them 18 innings to beat Boston.
Hopefully Cora has a talk with Nunez today,they can't have him laying around in the extra innings like last night.

Pitching situation should be interesting the next 2 games.
Have they named a starer for tonight yet? Rodriguez makes the most sense when he only faced one batter last night. Start him tonight and give Sale another day of rest for tomorrow night. Hopefully we don't see Pomeranz start.
Is this the Aaron Judge/Alex Bergman troll moment we've been waiting for?

Well, it's time to step up and play like champions. I didn't see (other than Eovaldi and JBJ) a championship performance last night...and I hung in to the end...bed at 3:40AM. No key hits, when just one or two would have sealed the deal. Red Sox let it slowly but steadily slip away.
I'll bet Devers at 3rd and Holt at 2nd...the outfield remains the same, and I'll agree that Rodriguez will start.
Benintendi replaces Bradley in the lineup. He’ll play LF, with Betts in CF and Martinez in RF, vs Hill. Pearce in for Moreland, Holt and Nunez start over Kinsler and Devers.
When the Patriots need one yard with a quarterback sneak, Brady is unstoppable. Rodriguez doesn’t even make a pretense at doing anything for the offense. Given the fact that the Red Sox have left their bats in Boston, we can ill afford to have anyone not show up to help the cause.

Another great win!

You've probably all heard this, but a friend of mine told me a bad joke that Yankees fans will NOT like.
Q. What's the difference between a Fenway Park hot dog and a Yankees Stadium hot dog?
A. Fenway Park hot dogs are still on sale this week!
Martinez is playing in left while Benintendi sits.

Kinsler was a poor pinch runner.
Bad play to send Kinsler with a short fly ball.
Come Red Sox, you can do it!
Sox hitters are trying to force it, going for the bleachers instead of just getting on base
Vazquez at 1B
Holt!
Nunez doing the Derek Jeter into the stands for the catch. Nice catch.
Kinsler is an enemy plant, he’s shown it many times
Betts wouldn’t have made that error had he been 2B
Any of you guys still with us?
Even the home plate ump is pulling for LA with that call on Betts
They should have walked Puig and pitch to the catcher...all Kinsler had to do was hold the ball. Bad call on Mookie.
2:30AM.
Win or lose, Eovaldi is a frigging hero today
Sure. Football can wait.
I am. And will see it through. Game is historic.
Dodgers have Lasorda up in the bullpen.
Thanks, Kinsler
Just got up now after my cat insisting that I do so. He wanted to go out. Great game though. Betts sure did not have any fun though.
Everytime I got up for a bathroom break I would turn on TV and check the score. I quit checking after 17....too boring!
They need a new rule after 11 innings you flip a coin for the win!!!! That was a very expensive win and loss for each team.

Best part of baseball is the quirkiness. Teams used to play double headers regularly. Just figure that you watched game 3 and 4.

This from Alex Spier, New Baseball Newsletter.
Rodriguez looks good so far tonight.
Except on runs to second. We might have found someone slower than Tom Brady.

He didn’t even try to run hard. Another no Johnny Hustle
Sloppiness again. WTF
Two days in a row: don’t throw it and no run would score.
Stupid play by Sox......they deserve to lose!
Francoma
Game over!
We all get to go to bed early tonight.
Yep, game over. The Red Sox are toast. They are just mailing it in.
Too bad they forgot how to hit (Betts, Martinez, everyone playing 1B, etc)
Moreland with the bomb!

Watching the last 2 games...….I have to wonder how the Sox won 108 games????
