Giles' slider has always been an elite pitch. Corbin will be an interesting name to watch this off-season.  Really hope the Yankees don't land him.  

Hopefully our Corbin will prove to be just as interesting to watch. 

I hope gattis / mccann / correa spent plenty of time hitting balls off a tee, they need to produce this series 

gray, lynn, happ.  hey, why not corbin?  maybe they can go to a nine man rotation and still not win the division?

Actually, 2 backup catchers...or 1+1 emergency catcher.

I’m just not liking the idea of carrying Gattis right now. As noted, there must be some data showing he’ll be needed, because he hasn’t done much of anything positive for awhile now. Maybe he’ll spank one over the Monster in Game 1 and show he belongs. 

Hard to leave a guy with ~30 homers off the postseason roster. I think it’s also a clubhouse move.

 

Gattis broke the seal in ALCS game 7 last year, so sure, bring him along.   I liked having Straw in the ALDS because of the potential for pitching duels with the Indians.  I don’t see pitching duels happening against the Red Sox, so Jake fits the bill for defensive sub/pinch runner.

Fuck I’m ready for tomorrow night. Htine throwin it dine.

He’s going to hit a home run that crushes their souls at some point. It’s going to be full cave man on Boston.

This. And he straight up carried the team for a while this year while other players were injured and slumping. And his playoff blood is cold.

Its crazy that we are talking about leaving off guys that would be somewhere between the 4th and 7th best players on other playoff teams and no brainer roster members. Hopefully, they dont play overconfident.

You need a right handed PH bat that’s not Marisnick.

Plus remember when you fools were trashing Gattis early in the year wanting him to be DFA’ed and then he carried the team for a few weeks?

Ha. I’ve called for him to be DFAed every time he’s gone deep into the doldrums. Which has been pretty often this year. Sometimes it “worked,” but not always. I might need to crank that up again, because it couldn’t hurt.

Nobody appreciates a Gattis bomb more than I. Huge when we get it, obviously. I just haven’t seen any recent sign of life from his bat and can’t see much value when he’s not clubbing pitches. But I guess they figure he’s “due” and/or he’s still a huge positive to have around from the perspective of team chemistry.

Anyway, we’ll see. I just hope we don’t miss miss what Straw clearly brings to the table. 

biggest game of the season is tonight boys; let them nuts hang

score early, score often, leave no doubt. 

We'll be lucky to get anyone on base with Sale and the Fenway magicalness.

Not optimistic at all.

Yep. I predict Sale will throw an 81 pitch perfect game. Astros won't even be able to foul one off a single time. Doomed.

That’s going to happen. Not to mention every hitter on Boston’s roster (yes, including all the subs and at least one ballboy) will hit for the cycle. 

crazy that a righty marwin is still in front of correa vs sale.  very telling.

i'm already spent from the football game, i may be dead by the time this game ends tonight

Yes i apologize for my next 5 hrs of posting. I'm gonna be drunk af

Lets just have a leadoff #SpringerDinger to get this shit started right

Another ALCS against another northeastern blue blood.  Let's win again.

I get nervous every time Jose has to sprint.

But we need to send him down to 2B here.

Bregman always making it interesting lol
