Deadpulse Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 6 minutes ago, Starless said: 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. I think it comes down to post-season experience. Price and Fister have the most IP out of the 4 with Rick coming it very shy. Porcello hasn't won a postseason game while Price is 2-8. Both have around a 5.50 era in the post-season. Fister is 4-2 with a 2.60 ERA over 55 IP. I think you give him the ball 3rd. I honestly couldnt choose between Price and Porcello, so many give E-Rod a shot as the 4th?

Apparition Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 For anyone not keeping an eye on the Sox game, Mookie cleared the bases with a double to tie, and then scored from 2nd on an infield hit to take the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ForTheThumb Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 "Down year" for Mookie Betts at the plate and he's still going to drive in 100 runs. Most likely going to finish 3rd in WAR among position players, behind Judge and Trout, thanks to an elite defensive season. The Sox need to extend this guy tomorrow.

Apparition Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 What's the Sox bench going to look like for the playoffs? I'm really uneasy about the idea of Chris Young or Brock Holt having to hit in the clutch. Travis might be their best hitter off the bench currently, but it won't make sense to carry 3 first basemen. And for that matter, who's the starting 3rd baseman? Nunez is the best all-around option but he might have to play 2nd with Pedroia still gimpy, and we don't want to take Devers' bat out of the lineup. Could DH Devers but then you lose either Moreland or Ramirez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 If Nunez is healthy, both Young and Holt should be left on the playoff roster. Young makes absolutely no sense. If you want a bat off the bench? It's Travis. If you want a defensive replacement/utility guy? It's Holt. Holt and Young are zero's at the plate, so give me the guy who can play multiple positions. Preferably, Nunez is healthy and both are left off the roster. Seems like he hurt himself again last night which sucks. SP: Sale, Pomeranz (Sox should skip his next start, give him some rest with his velo down), Rodriguez, Porcello (4). In that order. Pen: Price, Kimbrel, Reed, Workman, Price, Kelly, Scott, Smith (8) Hitters: Vazquez, Leon, Moreland, Pedroia, Bogaerts, Devers, Nunez, Travis, Benintendi, Bradley, Betts, Davis, Ramirez (13) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ForTheThumb Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The Astros don't have many LHB (2). Reddick is the only one who calls for a lefty specialist. It's possible Scott is left off this series and they go with someone like Smith or Barnes (barf) instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrell has used Barnes as his set up guy most of the year and Barnes continues to get high leverage innings. I'd be shocked if he were left off the playoff roster. Scott shouldn't sniff the playoff roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
