It was. (x-post)
Think I'd take Price out now--the Guriel AB drove his pitch count up, short rest, the bullpen pitches last night, he's living on borrowed time. He's been great, and if you move on, he's got something to build on. I know he's got the bottom of the lineup coming up--that's the once conceivable rationale I can see for sending him out for the fifth.

Can we skip to Kimbrel allowing two walks?

It's hard to repeat in baseball. I did think they would but not to be

Gotta say I'm just glad we get to see Mookie for another series.
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 19 October 2018 03:46 (five years ago) link
Very happy for Price. He's had too good a career to be treated like a running joke.

weird to see the red sox celebrate somewhere that isn't yankee stadium
― mookieproof, Friday, 19 October 2018 03:53 (five years ago) link
Not seeing Red Sox play all that much, got to say their outfield defense looked amazing in the series.

BoSox starting to lay claim to the 21st century in the AL...

If it's the Brewers, that's who I'll root for. If it's the Dodgers, I'll root for BOS.

Yeah, jealousy is nagl.
Just for ha-ha's I looked for tickets: $500+ for standing room only. Guess I'm not going to the World Series.
But definitely going to the parade after the Sox win!

so weird to have a great Sox team that's actually pretty likeable

sorry, no, RSN is a pox upon the land
haha jealousy

this is the "likeable Yankees" mistake of 2017 all over again

but no big deal if you don't share my feelings. Hell, some of you still like Saturday Night Live.

Who's the greatest defender who was ever asked to make a major position change for the World Series in the DH era?
