The baseball playoffs thread 2018

[SquarePeg]

Congrats to the Red Sox. They really played as a team, showing that against the Astros and then again against the Dodgers. Hope to catch more than just one Dodgers game next year, and now I definitely need to make a visit to Fenway Park.

It's a must for any baseball fan. If you ever decide to go, avoid rf grand stand and upper bleachers. Everything else is a great view. There's a great tour that you can take. If you time it right on a game day you could be up on the green monster during bp. Bring a sharpie in case you get to go inside the wall/scoreboard. There is also museum on site that I don't think you can get into unless you're with a tour. Has some really cool stuff and you get to take pics with the WS trophies.

Red Sox twitter feed is responding to tweets from their Opening Day loss. It's hilarious.

Peg and JonA, are y'all going to the parade on Wednesday?

 

[JonA_CT]

Nah. I’ve never been. A Wednesday is a tough day to take off work, and Boston is just under 2 hours with no traffic. No idea what it would be at rush hour more or less to make the parade.

 

[SquarePeg]

I think I’m going. Went to the last Pats parade and had a blast.

Okay ... now what do we talk about?

Okay ... now what do we talk about?

Can the LAD keep Kershaw or will he opt out? Will they keep Dave Roberts? Will they change their approach to managing so strictly by the numbers? Will LA fans continue to bleed blue after being denied 2 years in a row?

Did Eduardo Nunez make it out of LA without falling down again? Will Punkchado end up with the hated Yankees or the hated Rays? Will LAD, Houston and Milwaukee please stop giving out those stupid towels? I'd be pretty po'd if I paid big money for a seat and had someone waving a towel in my face.

Will the Sox try to sign Eovaldi and/or Kelly? Will the NYY come after either of them? What about Pearce? Will David Price opt out? Will Pedroia come back or retire? Where will Kinsler end up? Will SquarePeg let Princess cut school to go to the parade? (you bet!)

 

[Gary A.]

Most of those questions have been answered long ago by Joe Buck and our own JC DeBoever.

Kershaw stays in LA, hard to turn down 35 mil

Dave Robert's may keep his job if he fires a couple coaches. The fans probably hate this loss more than last year, almost have to wonder if it's a hopeless feeling for them.

Lazychado is a Yankee

Kelly is gonna get paid to close somewhere, Cubs? Cardinals? Eovaldi gonna get paid to start somewhere, Brewers? Pearce is only an affordable to a big market team sonny guess he gets a raise and stays in Boston. Price would be crazy to opt out, maybe he hates Boston enough to do it but money is undefeated. Pedroia will come back healthy. Kinsler will sign for a lot less but probably elsewhere. Not a huge market for starting 2B that can't hit.

Princess is sporting the parade in style and will let mother know who all the hot Red Sox are.

Tigers suck

She will be wearing her Benintendi hoodie I'm sure. She refers to him as her "husband" lol. She definitely won't want to be anywhere near me during the parade. I am only cool when a ride or money is needed. 15 is old enough to go with her friends.

I had a student who referred to a MLB player as her husband last year. Complicating things? Her dad works for that MLB team, and she actually sort of knows him. I asked her how many words she can get out in his presence though, and she admitted it wasn't many, haha.

I used to refer to Ellsbury as my inappropriately young boyfriend. From this year's team there are too many adorable players to choose just one. But Princess loves Benny Biceps.

 

[Gary A.]

For along time, I wanted Kershaw to be my husband ... but now I'm over it.

You could settle for my son, he looks like JD
