1ForTheThumb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Assuming the Red Sox hang on and make the post season, they have some interesting playoff roster decisions ahead. Starters: Game 1: Sale Game 2: Pomeranz That's set in stone. Then a tough call between games 3 and 4...Fister's been hot outside of last night. Porcello next? Rodriguez? I think I'd go Porcello, Fister. The pen is where it gets interesting: Kimbrel, Reed, Workman, Kelly, are locks. If Price is healthy, do you add him instead of Rodriguez? Has Carson Smith shown enough to beat out Barnes. Has Maddox earned a spot? The last couple bullpen pieces are going to be tough calls. I'd go, if Price is healthy: Rotation: Sale, Pomeranz, Porcello, Fister Bullpen: Kimbrel, Reed, Kelly, Workman, Scott, Smith, Price Starters: Vazquez, Moreland, Pedroia, Bogaerts, Devers, Benintendi, Bradley, Betts, Ramirez Bench: Leon, Nunez, Holt, Davis, Young. I'd love to see Nunez (if healthy) start of Xander but I can't see Farrell actually doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Color me shocked that the Bruins actually got this done. Favorable deal for the team too. Thought for sure this was going to be another disaster by the Bruins FO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never want to see him again in a Sox uniform Tough to see him being back for 2018. Arbitration-eligible and after the season he's had, and with the bevy of options the team has to replace him, I don't think the team will tender him.

Ideally, Red Sox win the WS with Price being garbage the entire way. Why would you want Price to do poorly? Seems like a weird thing to say if you're a fan of the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ForTheThumb Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Pretty dumb move by Farrell letting Sale go back out for 8th (thought he should have even been pulled in the 7th) with that big of a lead. The guy has already pitched a career high in innings, and you have a large roster with September. Perfect opportunity last night to get Price some work last night.

Apparition Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Okay so who are the 3rd and 4th starters in the playoffs? E-Rod made a strong case with this outing but he's never pitched in the postseason and has been up and down this year. Could realistically make a case for any 2 of him, Porcello, Price and Fister, but just as easily make one against any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Price isn't going to make any post season starts, I'm pretty sure Farrell has already said that. Sale, Pomeranz, Eddie, Porcello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
