Honestly, and (this morning at least) I say with affection, I think he’s just a bit of a dumb ass

You took the words right out of my mouth. I like him. He's a good player. But I think he has a hard time controlling his emotions. He desperately wants to be a hero.

So maybe he grows out of that.

What's the difference between a Yankee player and a mosquito?

A mosquito stops sucking

Rodriguez is the Starting pitcher for game 1. He's going up against McClanahan for Tampa.

I'm guessing Sale on Friday and Eovaldi back in Boston on Sunday.

 

[captain insano]

I don't feel good about sale after his last outing.

The Red Sox’s ALDS roster is as follows:
Pitchers (13): Ryan Brasier, Austin Davis, Nathan Eovaldi, Tanner Houck, Adam Ottavino, Martín Pérez, Nick Pivetta, Garrett Richards, Hansel Robles, Eduardo Rodriguez, Chris Sale, Josh Taylor, Garrett Whitlock
Catchers (2): Kevin Plawecki, Christian Vázquez
Infielders (5): Christian Arroyo, Xander Bogaerts, Bobby Dalbec, Rafael Devers, Travis Shaw
Outfielders (4): J.D. Martinez, Hunter Renfroe, Kyle Schwarber, Alex Verdugo
Infielder/Outfielders (2): Kiké Hernández, Danny Santana

I notice Matt Barnes didn't make the roster.

Wow! Perez instead of Barnes. Perez is useless. Barnes must be injured?

Or just zero trust. But really, any game with Perez or Barnes will probably be out of hand anyway

Trust or not. I would take barnes over perez. barnes went from all star to off the roster. That's quite the fall.

LOL real die hard fanbase there.

However, Martinez was not in the Game 1 starting lineup against Rays lefty Shane McClanahan at Tropicana Field, but manager Alex Cora said he will be available to pinch-hit.
It’s possible Martinez will be back in the lineup for Friday’s Game 2, which is at 7 p.m. ET.
“There’s a good chance that [Friday], that might be the day. I feel better [about that] today than yesterday,” Cora said.

“Harassed”

Oh noes not Kermit how could they do that to poor Cole!

 

[Vatahala]

Haven't watched FS1 all year, who is the high school kid doing play by play and how come ARod is a studio host when he works for ESPN?

 

[sb1]

Not an ideal start but lots of ball left. E-Rod doesn’t seem to have his command today

 

[Vatahala]

Not an ideal start but lots of ball left

Walking the leadoff hitter in the first 2 innings is not a recipe for success. Any Consolation is that the Sox had some hard outs.

 

[sb1]

Going to the pen already? Wow. At least Richards is the right choice if you’re doing that

 

[captain insano]

What an embarrassment Tropicana field is to MLB. A home run that clangs off the dome.
