2018 Boston Red Sox Thread

[Alsacs]

Eovaldi had a great start with the Sox, and i was hoping we'd re-sign him, then there was a period where i regretted saying that. Now, i absolutely would want him back next year+.

I would give Eovaldi 3 years at 12-15 million depending on his market.
His stuff matches up with NY so just for that reason I would pay him more.
If the Sox can only afford one of Eovaldi or Kimbrel I would pay Eovaldi and try to find a closer internally.

Looks the Houston Astros are having their own Spygate investigation.
Tito Francona apparently tipped Cora off.
Metro Exclusive: Astros may have been cheating in Game 1 against Red Sox

 

[dasher]

the pressure is finally on Houston. They have to win tomorrow. I think it is really a 50/50 game

The key is getting into their bullpen as early as possible.

Now I understand why the Astros play better on the road than at home. Their fans are comatose.

Astros are cheaters.
Sources: Red Sox were warned by Indians about Astros attempting to steal signs and information

Sure sounded like a ball hitting a wall as well.

 

[upperdeck]

I was wondering why TV didnt use a slow mo replay or even have a real side view shot

we already knew that with Verlander's resurgence and Morton suddenly adding MPH and spin rate.

MLB investigated the Astros alleged cheating and considers the ‘matter closed’

Damn you, Goodell!

Cowboy Joe West gets the fan interference call correct.
Mookie had that ball if the fan didn’t touch his glove.

He was OVER THE LINE

 

[bpo57]

Not sure what all the fuss is about - that was an obvious interference call.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Mookie bailing out porcello

Huh?

It looked to me like he was reaching into the crowd, which means the fan had as much right to the ball as Mookie. It’s a shame that they don’t have a better camera angle.

How would you know? Why wouldn't fox have camera angles for that? NESN is more professional than these idiots.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Huh?

He was past the line that indicates the end of “fair” play.

 

[Alsacs]

Lol the security guard blocked the camera angle.
That is delicious.
Mookie had that ball.

 

[bpo57]

Just wondering why they build OF fences where the fans can obstruct like that? There are a few where there is a flat surface of 5 feet or so that separate players from the idiots. That should be the norm.

 

[Briancuse]

Looked like his glove was over the line.

 

[bpo57]

The reverse Jeffrey Mayer. lol

Alou probably had that ball too.

I know fans can go after balls if they are over the fence can they touch and close the glove of a fielder?
The fan closed Mookie’s glove.
