Well, gotta admit I was wrong. Here we are.
 
Are we better than the Astros? Debatable.
 
Are we heating up at the right time? Yep.
 
Will Kimbrel be the reason I need to see a cardiologist? Absolutely.

I have really been impressed by Nathan Eovaldi this post season.  He may have increased his paycheck dramatically with this performance.  
Seriously, the Sox have gotten hot at the right time.  Their outfield defense is as good as any I've ever seen.  All 3 of those guys could easily win a gold glove.  They do what they need to do to win.  Kimbrel may not be the most efficient closer in the game, but he gets his job done.  
Boston/LA Series?  A distinct possibility, although Milwaukee is not done yet.  That series shifts back to Milwaukee for the final 2 games (if necessary).

I really hate how the ball carries in Houston. Hits that look like flyouts just float over that wall in left. That Devers one still wasn't as bad as the Correa one in game 5 of the World Series last year though.
MMP is more of a pitchers park than a hitters. It has routinely been neutral to slightly pitchers park. But people like to look at that porch in left and assume that every RH will hit it every AB. Go look at the stats.

The Dodgers and Red Sox are both excellent teams and either team could win the series.  I expect a very close, tightly played series.

I'm freaking back lol

Yesterday was the dodgers being trash. I think we light up price tonight..... But Ryu might get lit up too

The sooner we get to the pen the better

Roberts taking out baez for wood last night was idiotic. That's the third time this playoffs he's given up an instant homer. Freddie Freeman, Travis Shaw, Nunez

Wood won't be used unless it's a mop up from now on

Kershaw isn't Playoff Kershaw

He's playoff road Kershaw

Cards in 14
Mets in 15 he was ok but I think gave up a huge Murphy homer at Citi
Cubs in 16 gave up 5 earned at Wrigley
Brewers this year he gave up 4 or 5 earned in Milwaukee
And then fenway last night. Defense let him down but he wasn't sharp anyways

So he's good for a 4-5 run game every round pretty much. Not fun. He'll pitch better in game 5 watch. Just like he did vs Milwaukee
