ALDS Game Thread

[Al Zarilla]

Thank goodness we don't have to worry about it!

Next year.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Next year.

OMG, not Taz in Toronto! Better get someone else for that spot now, DDski.

 

[mikeford]

Welp, this is why you acquired Tulo in the first place. Lets see how this goes.
 
 
Edit: 1 friggin pitch? Go away Tulo

Hamstring pull on his way to the batter's box?

Yes, I meant next year playoffs for us (hope hope) and sort out the 8th inning vs. Toronto along the way.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Osuna was sketchy in September. This should be interesting.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Close enough

 

[BestGameEvah]

Nap had been 2 - 17 vs. Cecil.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Hamilton blows. 

 

[InsideTheParker]

28 or 29? Stinkerama.

 

[AbbyNoho]

28 or 29? Stinkerama.

No, he was on deck.
 
hurdur

 

[E5 Yaz]

Russell Martin seems a likely candidate for a walk-off

 

[soxhop411]

2run walk off homer

 

[BestGameEvah]

& Smoak is on the bench, tho he didn't look good at all yesterday.

 

[BestGameEvah]

I like this Diekmann!

 

[soxhop411]

Just saw Brett Cecil on crutches with an ice bag on his leg.

Diekman apparently eschews the sun/a tan.

 

[Al Zarilla]

We shoulda got Diekman from Philly (if we'd traded with them).  :c070:

Cueto heading to the hill in KC. So many games...

I'm glad I did an extra treadmill this morning...on my a$$ till 11:30,  at least!

 

[E5 Yaz]

George Springer looks like he could be Hunter Pence's little brother

 

[mikeford]

Costas just called him Albert Belle

 

[mauidano]

Did Costas REALLY just say "Albert Belle is going all Kirk Gibson on us..."?

 

[InsideTheParker]

I have promised myself a bout on the stationary bike for game two. I sure hope I do it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

This may explain why he doesn't get stats. He is literally in another world.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Did Costas REALLY just say "Albert Belle is going all Kirk Gibson on us..."?

And he just corrected himself for it. 

 

[BestGameEvah]

There was an article in the WSJ this week about all of us sports fans, losing our health because we're glued to the TV. Sad & True.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cueto is messed up; someone said hurt?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The cute little Luis Tiant shake looks bad when you're pitching like Jean Machi.

I mean, there are 24 hours in a day, 16 still available for other things if you sleep 8.

That's the contract I'd be most wary of getting involved in. 

 

[Al Zarilla]

And he keeps validating that over and over.

[soxhop411]

This strike zone has shrunk

 

[soxhop411]

This will end badly.

 

[rembrat]

If anyone is due its Josh.

 

[soxhop411]

Wow.

 

[BornToRun]

Cueto in deep shit early. Loaded, none out top 2.

 

[Average Reds]

KC dodges one bullet.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Altuve is (maybe) 5-5, and he walked only 33 times this season. 

 

[Average Reds]

Cueto is really trying to give this game away.

 

[BornToRun]

Cueto is really trying to give this game away.

Trying and having a great deal of success in doing so.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Springer swings 3 - 0, gets a hit on the next pitch.

 

[foulkehampshire]

I'd beware of Cueto if I was an AL GM. He has not looked so hot in this league.

 

[mikeford]

Feels like this EE AB is probably Toronto's last chance for a walkoff

 

[Average Reds]

To be fair, he made a great pitch on Springer and BABIP got him.

Of course, if he doesn't load the bases the damage is not as severe.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Altuve is (maybe) 5-5, and he walked only 33 times this season. 

I was hoping to say "you can't walk off the island", but he's from Venezuela. 

 

[soxhop411]

This ump is terrible

 

[E5 Yaz]

I was hoping to say "you can't walk off the island", but he's from Venezuela. 

 
I actually had that typed out and decided to double-check

 

[Al Zarilla]

Toronto fans have that clap clap clap TULO going on like in CO, as he pops out.
