Dodgers @ Red Sox **WORLD SERIES IN-GAME 1 DISCUSSION**

[batt33]

nice call coach!

[pilebuck13]

Why did he take out Baez??

??? I have no fukin idea lmao what the fuk

[batt33]

lol 5 runs given up by Kershaw, the trash bag.

Money all year long betting against him...

[MiDNiTe]

What a call to ph nunez

[robbypark]

These NL Dodger pitchers are basically like little league arms to the Red Sox.

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Dodgers take game two

[Mackballs]

Wood was a much better option than Baez....Roberts you jackass

[robbypark]

These teams are pretty even it seems

Nope. Likely Red Sox sweep or win in 5. NL is a joke.

[Kermit]

I don't know how you can bet against this kind of offense, especially at home.

[robbypark]

Dodgers take game two

More likely Ryu gives up 5 runs in the first two innings. Ryu is a great pitcher but none of these Dodger throwers are even average against a good AL Lineup.

[KRIT]

So now we know why the line went up so much.

[shocka1212]

Dodgers take game two

no shot

[stevenash]

You trust Ryu?
I don't.

[Philmill]

Dodgers take game two

I wouldn't put my ice cream money on it....

[Demonata]

Not like sale dominated either. I actually am excited to see what ryu can do. He hasn't been too bad. This year.

[JIBBBY]

Boston -1.5 +130 tonight and I knew it and cheesed out on the bet.. SOB!!!

My love for the Blue Crew stopped me from betting that.. I was so close to laying it down on all books.. Plus money odds too.. Damn

Dodgers game 2...

[The Giant]

More likely Ryu gives up 5 runs in the first two innings. Ryu is a great pitcher but none of these Dodger throwers are even average against a good AL Lineup.

Is Ryu starting game two?

[deary626]

Robert should’ve been fired since last year, you take out Baez that just strike out 2 batters smh

[stevenash]

I'll say it again, that Sox lineup just bleeds you to death.
It's like a nightmare.

[KRIT]

Only guy in the Dodger rotation I trust is Buehler.

[2daBank]

It's like a nightmare.

They take great abs while rest of the league swinging out of their shoes regardless of situation!! those guys do all the little things right that nobody values anymore, despite the fact those things still and always will win games!! The computer geeks that have never even been picked for a team in the sandlot will never get it as they continue to ruin the game by telling players those things are “luck” and striking out is no biggie!!

They got the bats Stevie that's for sure, Dodgers have the pitching... That's what makes this series interesting..

I'm just impressed the Dodgers hit Sale tonight and knocked him out after 5 innings...

This will be a good series.. Long 7 game series...

Dodgers should bring it game 2. Jansen and Kershaw did show up tonight also.. Kershaw struggled a bit early on then shut it down.. Goods sign on the road if you are Dodger fans....

[darrell74]

Conceded defeat

[robbypark]

Not like sale dominated either. I actually am excited to see what ryu can do. He hasn't been too bad. This year.

Ryu has actually been the Dodgers best pitcher this year. He had a 1.97 ERA this year. That was in the NL though. I hate to beat a dead horse but a 1.97ERA in the NL is like a 3.50 or more in the AL East.

[robbypark]

Only guy in the Dodger rotation I trust is Buehler.

That's because he's the only guy with good stuff and a fastball that's 95+. All their other pitchers basically throw up meatballs for fastballs.

Dude, this series isn't making it past 5 games.

[robbypark]

He sure is.

Sox lineup will wear him the fukk out. Whole different world pitching against a team that takes good abs and isn’t looking to hit a bomb on every pitch. Ryu knows how to pitch and takes advantage of the way guys play now days, Sox won’t be rolling over trying to pull him out the park, they will take those pitches the other way as they bat around. Or he dominate, I just don’t see it.

As I just said I don’t even think it cause NL. He could pitch good vs bunch of al lineups too, he would have yanks swinging out of their shoes rolling over and hitting grounders all night. Sox won’t do that tho.

Have to disagree
Sox rotation feature two Cy Young Award winners (Price and Porcello) and should be three because Sale has had Cy Young seasons.
Sox bull pen is much better than Dodgers, LA has many more blown saves than Boston, Give me Kimbrel over Jansen eight days a week.
Than you got Joe Kelly and the rest.
Don't even compare offenses, Dodgers are good, Boston bats are great.
Oh, one more thing, LA's manager Roberts is a world class shitty manager.
World class, Cora in his rookie year pushed all the right butttons all season.
There's are reason why Boston is -140, -150 what have you favorite.

You didn't even mention Eovaldi who is the Sox biggest weapon out of the pen if he's not starting. The guy is virtually unhittable - 100+mph with top 5 spin rate.

We all know Porcello was lucky that season, guy isn’t anywhere close to cy young status this season. And we all know how Price looks in the playoffs. After Sale there is a lot of unknown. They could be great or awful. You can kind of say the same about Dodgers outside of Buehler.

[spro23]

Taking out baez was stupid as phuck. He easily mowed down 2 guys then gets pulled wtf.

[stevenash]

That's because he's the only guy with good stuff and a fastball that's 95+. All their other pitchers basically throw up meatballs for fastballs.

Two things, I do believe Buehler is legit, and should be a solid starter for years.
Now having said that, he's been hammered in each of his three post season starts.
ERA of over five, he;s given up a homer in all three starts,
The Braves mauled him, the first start against the Brewers he got hammered again, and the second start against the Brews he couldn't get past the fifth inning.
You have to wonder, is he ready for prime time yet?

Second point, take a look at the advanced analytics, Boston is the best hitting team versus pitchers that throw 95 MPH plus.
The numbers are staggering what Boston's bats do against hard cheese.

Seems a lot like overs should continue being the play on sox games in these playoffs! Afraid we gonna start seeing higher totals tho? It been so sweet with all the big name pitchers keeping the totals low! That might be bout done.
