Red Sox vs Dodgers WS Thread (2018 non Cubs games)

[Agony and Ivy]

Greg Brown and Bob Walk are already pissed about the way a Tigers player ran into second base on a double. It's officially baseball season.

 

PS - I horsefeathering hate these guys, but I love rage watching them.

they really are a brutal duo to listen to

Ivan Nova had a 1.7 BB/9 last year. Walked the first 3 guys of the game on 13 pitches.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kontos comes in in relief and throws one pitch 5 feet outside to the backstop and on the next pitch he crosses up Cervelli and plunks the ump in the head, knocking him out of the game. Lol

Hopefully Randall Grichuk becomes to the Yankees what he was to the Cubs

[bukie]

Joe Panik now has HRs off Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen, to propel the Giants to two consecutive 1-0 victories.

[Agony and Ivy]

Brad Hand is going to blow a 3 run lead to the VBs

[Agony and Ivy]

Jesus christ Brad Hand.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Kenley Jansen averaged 89 mph on his cutter today and topped out at 90. (Also Kershaw and Wood's velocity are down too.)

 

Hand gave up 5 and Rivero 4 in blown saves.

Semantics, but Rivero blew a 4 run lead. Hand was out of the damn inning too, but known liar and cheat, Ryan Braun, hit a fastball above the zone.

 

It will be interesting to see if sites like FanGraphs will get all excited about the velocity dips in LA like they did for Arrieta and the Cubs starters.

Jesus christ Brad Hand.

Brewers had a bunch of soft contact fall for hits that inning before the Braun HR, wish we could've gotten one of those timely bloops tonight instead of hitting 10 rockets all over the field that got caught.

So Gabe Kapler pulled Vince Velasquez today with NO ONE warming up in the pen. Total hell broke loose afterwards

[Derwood]

He's off to a great start

[Jaxbro]

Now Gabe trots out a position player to pitch in the third game of the year

[Jaxbro]

So final Gabe Kapler managerial stat. To get 27 outs so far this year, he has made 18 pitching changes already

[Derwood]

It's almost like simply being a former player doesn't qualify you to manage baseball teams

[treebird]

the cubs are losing 5-0 to the marlins

[Derwood]

6-0

[Ding Dong Johnson]

the cubs are losing 5-0 to the marlins

6

I did not understand this simple post.....until I realized it was not in the game thread. Then it became very funny!!

:D =D>

[SouthSideRyan]

There is nothing wrong with pitching a position player in the bottom of the 8th of a 13-2 game.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Dodgers outscored the Giants 14-2 this weekend and somehow only split their 4-game series.

Both teams lead the league in shutouts

[CubinNY]

I love early season stats.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Miles Mikolas just took the vaunted Zach Davies deep for his first big league hit.
