Schlittler, Early, Yesavage.

What do you think of these alleged plans to start Yesavage in game 2


Love it. Give him the home crowd. Might shield him a bit. He’s our best arm. The more Yesavage the better.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?

I kind of want the Yankees to win just so I can watch the game on Saturday because if they play at 1 I’ll be at work. Is that bad logic?

Do every team celebrate a series win like they won the world series?

Jordan Petersen would remind you that an immediate sacrifice might pay long-term dividends. So I suggest you cheer for whichever team you think would increase the likelihood of watching future iterations in the ALCS or the WS. ;)

Probably true, let’s hope it works out

Honestly baseball is weird I don’t think it even matters who you face. I’m scared to face the Yankees because I think their homers will crush our pitching.

It’s what I’ve been saying all day. Yankees have the homers. Red Sox have Crochet. (I’m a simple guy.)

Varsho catches that ball in his sleep

That will cost Boston their season

Let’s be honest, Gimenez and Clement probably make the next two plays, too.

Atrocious Red Sox defense might have cost them all 4 of those runs, poor Early

We want this game to stay close

Gotta feel bad for Early that Bellinger double had a xBA of .070 and Lowe choked on a double play ball.

Boston's defense will cost them the series. Just horrible defense all around.

That Lowe play mightve been the back breaker
