I will never understand this preoccupation with pitch counts!
Why in God's name, do managers constantly pull a pitcher who's pitching great! Last night, Roberts pulled Beuhler, who was pitching a 2-hit shutout; brings in Janssen, who blows it! Tonight, he pulls Rich Hill (with Hill due up first the next inning!), while he's pitching a 1-hit shutout. Brings in the bullpen, and watches them give up a 3-run homer. Then, Roberts again brings in Janssen, who gives up the tying homerun!
I think the Red Sox have just won the World Series. With a win tonight, they go up 3 games to 1. Even if the Dodgers win Game 5, I see no way that the Red Sox will lose two in Fenway.
I think Machado’s performance and attitude has cost him millions. Some teams watch that crap and decide he would not represent their product well and would not be a good influence on other players.
A comeback for the ages!! LA stung big time and got the air sucked right out of Chavez ravine.
TOTAL BUSHLEAGUE CRAP by Machado stepping on Pearce's foot at 1st base. He's a dirty piece of dog squeeze and, as mentioned above, other teams take note. Play the game right, or don't play at all...so, SO glad Machado etal are sucking a tailpipe this morning. I'd bet my house he isn't doing the little money thing with his fingers like he loves to do when he gets on base. He's nothing but a cheap punk, and I hope the WS loss (upcoming) will hurt like a tooth extraction without the shot.
Puig is another whacko, licking, hugging and talking to his bat...geez dude, get some therapy. Mr. uber-uber ego can take a ride on the little ferris wheel at the Santa Monica pier and watch the sunset with BUSHLEAGUE Machado.
Gotta say...how incredible...YES, I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E was Devers play at 3rd!!!! Others have been hard on him earlier in the year with his play, but I say this kid (just 22) is gonna be a star on this team. His throw to first base after that snag...which couldh've turned the game sour, was a bb to first, perfect play, perfect throw. congrats to Devers!!!
MORELAND and PEARCE beyond awesome!!!! HOLT with the double and DEVERS with the single to score Holt. Devers makes the game 5-4. PEARCE....OH PEARCEwith a double to clear the bases...9-4. Benny singles to score Pearce.
Kimbrella of course gives us all the heartattack...geez, Craig, either find your command, or consider another team. Your teammates hang up a 5 run lead and you promptly chop off 2 runs. I'm kinda tired of reaching for the oxygen when I see you come into the game...just sayin'.
I have no clue what's happened to Mookie, and JD's bats...not a clue. But, in Red Sox fashion, "others" took up the slack and created a miracle. Wow, was Chris Sale on fire in the dugout or what?? He was doing his uber best "Cowboy up" Millar routine...he was on fire pushing the team for the win.
Just an incredible, incredible win.
BTW...did you see Frank Lunz (the uber polster) sitting in and sometimes behind Mary Hart's seat? Geez Frank looks like maybe it's time for a call to Nutri-system.
Nice to catch the clip of Eck throwing out the first ball and doing the bromance thing with Kirk Gibson...each saying "I love you"...a nice touch and a very cool moment. I hope we see more and more of Eck in the booth in 2019 and beyond.

I agree, Machado is a dirty player. MLB should be doing something to stop his reckless and purposeful behavior.
Enthusiastic collector of British pre-decimal and Canadian decimal circulation coins.
I was the one that was hard on Devers early for his footwork and said he should be kept a few weeks in the minors when he comes off the disabled list. They did not do this but had Peroia work with him on his footwork and it did a world of good. Pedroia may not be playing right but he is helping the team win in other ways. Congrats to both of them as Devers will go on to be a great 3rd baseman.

Price is getting the start tonight with Sale starting game 6 if needed.
When is the Karate Kid coming in!
After Mr Miyagi has him sand the floor. He's the closer so probably not till late if they have the lead. This could be his last game in boston if they win with him being a free agent.
I could be wrong, but i think most Red Sox fans deep down inside wouldn't mind seeing the Dodgers win this game, so that their team can win the World Series at home.

Hell no win tonight. Us Boston fans here aren't going to be at Fenway tomorrow night so who cares if they celebrate while freezing their asses off.

I hear ya - take the bird in hand win tonight.
However there's just no conceivable way the Dodgers could win two straight games at Fenway against this Red Sox team. Basically impossible. Wrapping it up at home would be sweeter.
Either way, Boston fans deserve it - certainly one of the best sports towns in America.

What’s up with Martinez? He’s been missing middle middle with regularity
The way they (Sox) have been hitting...…...4 runs looked huge! Guess I should have listened to Yogi.

Nice to see Roberts make the mistakes Cora was making ...not having his lefty warmed up
I hope none of you guys went to bed !
7:40 PM where I am.
Good of Benintendi to show Machado how it is done!

Boy did the Sox come alive!
All this without Betts or Martinez getting a hit!
I think the Red Sox have just won the World Series. With a win tonight, they go up 3 games to 1. Even if the Dodgers win Game 5, I see no way that the Red Sox will lose two in Fenway.

This makes it even worse:
I just read that the Dodgers were the only team to not blow a 4-0 lead in a game, all season!
Steve
What's with this Sox pitcher doing the Karate Kid on a pole thing!
Great play by Devers!

I agree......great play!
Sox take a COMMANDING 3 to 1 lead!
If Boston gets in a save situation tomorrow night I'd rather see Eovaldi in there over Kimbrel.

Did you see Machado step on Pierces foot. What an idiot !
Wrap it up tomorrow guys.

CONRATULATIONS Boston Red Sox team
WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS (again) 2018
I agree, Machado is a dirty player. MLB should be doing something to stop his reckless and purposeful behavior.
A classy moment from last night... Eckersley and Gibson.

Boy.....they shouldn't even make Price bat! He is pathetic!! He doesn't even know how to swing the bat!!!
Just call it an out and go to the next batter!!!!
Win tonight, that’s all that matters!
