They could be fucked for today though

Today's gonna be bullpen heavy. While Evo went crazy deep, they still have a plethora of pitchers available.
 
Pitch counts from yesterday:
Evo: 97
Porcello: 61
E-Rod: 6
Joe Kelly Fight Club: 12
Price: 13
Barnes: 25
Brazzers: 18
Kimbrel: 28
Hembree: 25
 
 
My guess is they'll go E-Rod for ~4 innings, then put in Joe Kelly for the 5th/6th, and go to Price for another inning or two. And you go with Sale in Game 5 with Porcello in relief.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Pomeranz is starting. Id also be surprised if Price pitched again tonight but who knows. I like how Cora went for the jugular

 

[Phil The Thrill]

offence getting more than 7 hits in 18 innings would be cool too.

Also NL sucks.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Ah man dont be that guy haha. NL game strategy is so much more intriguing.

 

[elcheato]

I guess strategy is one way to put it. I'd refer to it more so as dumb rules that cause dumb people to think occasionally. 

 

[Mexi]

Nathan was great, but he wasn't even the best pitcher in the game

But it seems everyone forgot about Buehler

What an ace. My ace

[Mexi]

Only rocket Clemens and Whitey Ford have gone 7ip, 2 hits or less in a WS game

And Buehler

Eat your heart out bumgarner

.... Don Larsen?

 

[Mexi]

Yes!

My bad. Wrong Yankee pitcher lol

Larsen
Clemens
Buehler

 

[Phil The Thrill]

to be far, he also got to pitch against Betts and Bogaerts worse career games and a benintendi free line up.

 

[Mexi]

Maybe they had their worst games because of Buehler...............................................................

 

[Mexi]

Idk who Eduardo Rodriguez is but he's a lefty so he'll be fine

I love Rich Hill but he usually has one inning where he can't throw strikes and walks 3

Mookie had 5 ABs yesterday not pitched by Buehler

 

[Mexi]

Mookie had 5 ABs yesterday not pitched by Buehler

and went 0-3 2k vs Walker

Tail spin activated...


But really, no one likes to talk about dodger pitching. Kershaw has blow ups, Jansen gives up homers, wood too, madson

But dodger pitching is really good...

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Mookie was just off yesterday. Had a couple of first pitch flyouts, very uncharacteristic.

 

[Mexi]

Mookie was bad
Dodgers didn't make him look bad

Gotcha guys

 

[bosoxlover12]

Mookie was bad
Dodgers didn't make him look bad

Gotcha guys

He's been 12-for-54 with 4 XBH and 3 RBIs this postseason. 
 
He's been bad all postseason

 

[Mexi]

And he's faced good pitching last I checked

 

[Mexi]

Sucks that they sat JBJ.

Benintendi will make a difference. Sox should win but maybe this is the game the dodgers bats finally show up?
