Strategery!

Morbo

From the limited sample size thus far, it appears that the playoffs might not follow the repressed run environment outlined in Jeff Sullivan's Tuesday article.

Mattingly's Sideburns

6:01

Nobody up in the bullpen. Sale coming back for the 5th. Yuck.

Paul Swydan

6:02

Always count on Farrell to try to squeeze an extra inning out of his starting pitcher. Always.

Hannah Hochevar

6:02

Hanley was almost named Hamlet!?!?!?! Whoa

Paul Swydan

6:02

Yeah that I'd never heard before.

Russell

6:02

Do you miss Tal's Hill?

Paul Swydan

6:02

YES!

Dave

6:02

Considering Farrell's past decision-making processes, he probably only looked at ERA.

Paul Swydan

6:02

Oh, absolutely.

There's no question.

Jim

6:03

I didnt think Collins would do so well in the poll, take a look at it now.

Paul Swydan

6:03

Well played, Jim.

skittlebabies

6:03

when i have trouble sleeping, i remember tommy lasorda is still alive and pass right out

Paul Swydan

6:03

Haha.

He's one of the bigger jerks I've ever seen in person.

Hannah Hochevar

6:04

A catcher wouldn't start a day game after a night game, but what about here, a day game after a day game?

Paul Swydan

6:04

Shouldn't be an issue.

Especially since they just had 3 days off.

Concrete melts off me

6:05

Should Sale still be on the mound?

Paul Swydan

6:05

I say no.

6:06

So predictable.

Seth

6:07

Do you think there is any truth to Sale running out of gas? He was throwing harder and more pitches than he has before and had a bad September

Paul Swydan

6:07

Maybe not running out of gas per se, but he hasn't looked right.

Concrete melts off me

6:08

Can Springer be a hall of famer?

Paul Swydan

6:08

Sure why not?

ALTUVE DOUBLE DINGER

Paul Swydan

6:08

The ole double donger

jonnyzuck

6:08

why did i just see a replay of altuve's HR in the 1st?

Paul Swydan

6:08

That was pretty close to being the exact same hit. Was kind of eery.

Ryan

6:08

When do the writers vote for the end of the year awards? Is that already done?

Paul Swydan

6:08

Yes.

Ballots have to be turned in before the postseason starts.

One pitch too many

6:09

Two innings in a row now that Chris Sale's given up a rocket, then got a routing groundout the pitch after.

Dunkin' Donuts

6:09

Is Altuve the most underrated player in MLB even considering he wins MVP?

Paul Swydan

6:09

I don't think he's underrated anymore, no.

J. Farrell

6:10

I think Sale has another inning in him.

Paul Swydan

6:10

Won't be surprised.

Nick

6:10

Its not like the Boston bullpen is some lock down unit. They're probably not getting more than 5 out of Pom tomorrow. Sale is still probably the best option through the 5th at 89 pitches. I say send him out there for the 6th and pull him if someone gets on.

Paul Swydan

6:10

The Boston bullpen has been pretty great this year.
