I haven't paid much attention to the Red Sox this year...and I was outside for a second...David Price is pitching out of relief? Or is this a necessity because they are on the verge of losing control of this series?

He's had an injury problem with his elbow all year and he came back in the middle of september pitching out of the bullpen

Price doing his job but at a cost of taking him out of the next rotation spot for game 3.

Doubt he was ever a candidate to start

[Blarg]

Well, his performance so far is steller compared to Pummelranz.

[fan_since79]

Two 17-game winners starting for Boston, 11 ER allowed.

Just goes to show that pitcher wins are a meaningless stat.

[Blarg]

It won't be meaningless to Keuchel.

Apparently ERA is too

Pomeranz' career postseason ERA is now a robust 9.53 (5 2/3 innings, 6 ER).

So the Pink Sox intentionally walk Altuve again and Correa says, enough of this disrespect, and wails a double down the line to score two runners including Altuve from first. 

Now the shaggy dog Gattis bounces one off the wall and Correa scores.

NY vs Cleveland today. 

Skanks are going to win today.

Hopefully the Yankees suffer the same fate later today.

Watch Keuchel get rocked now 

I agree

[Blarg]

And it's all crumbling into ruin for the Pink Sox. Bases loaded, again.

[Blarg]

Hah, bases loaded, Altuve up. Now they have to pitch to him but he has gone a couple plate appearances without seeing a pitch. 

[Blarg]

Strikes out. With a better umpire he walks but Hernandez just can't get the calls right.

[Ohtaniland]

2-0 Skanks middle of the 1st

Kluber 38 pitch 1st inning

[Blarg]

CC SaFatass gives up the lead.

[Blarg]

Damn, Encarnacion may have taken himself out for the series. Getting back to the bag on a line drive to 2nd base he horribly rolls his ankle.

[red321]

laugh...did the Yankees actually challenge that play...dude trashes his ankle...and while he's writhing in pain his foot comes off bag.

 

[Ohtaniland]

That’s a serious injury on Encarnacion. That will make be a huge difference in this series. 

[Blarg]

I think they blew the double play call, it looks like Encarnacion beat the second baseman tagging the bag with the glove, he rolled off the bag but once back he would have to be tagged to considered out. Time was called on the field and I don't remember seeing a tag. Need another replay and I think Francona is making the same argument.

Please tell me that Simmons wouldn’t do the same.

[Blarg]

Wrong, the bag was tagged first. He was out.
