In his post game presser, as he prepared to leave, Cora dropped this bomb ... Price will pitch game 5 and Sale will be available in the pen. If not used and there is a game 6 in Boston then Sale would definitely pitch that game. I assume if a game 7 was forced that Eovaldi would be rested by then and everyone else would be available to back up.

Freese answers with a solo homer for the Dodgers off Price ... Price walks the 2nd batter (Turner) but the third (Hernandez) grounds to third for a double play ... 2 OUT - 0 Runners - 1 Run In
Machado K's but for the 2nd time he lets his bat go and hit Vazquez in the mask/helmet ... Opponents beware!
2-1 Sox

No runs scored from the 3rd thru the 5th innings but then in the 6th Mookie finally breaks the iceburg he's been mired under with a HOMER off of Kershaw ... and J.D., also a little frosty, joined him in the 7th with a solo HR of his own ... and thru all this Price is still owning the Dodgers thru 7 full ... And the MVP is back at it in the top of the 8th ...
Price comes out to start the 8th but after a walk to Taylor and a pinch hitter (Kemp) coming in for Barnes, Cora wisely makes the change to Joe Kelly who starts Kemp off with a 97mph fastball. Hope we can avoid using Kimbrel tonight and the folks here in Boston don't get a chance to use the playoff tix for either game 6 or 7 ... GO RED SOX !!!!!!!!!!! |

Kelly strikes out Kemp ... 1 OUT & 1 ON in the 8th Pederson goes to a full count 3-2 ... Backwards K for him! ... 2OUT
Bellinger who runs a British baseline (down the left side blocking 1st baseman's view) is up now ... 1-2 count to him
Freakin' Joe Kelly STRIKES OUT the side!!!!!!!!!!
Onto the 9th ... Both Kimbrel, Eovaldi & Sale warming up in the bullpen to close this thing. |

Jansen gets the double play and a ground out of Devers to take care of the Sox in the 9th ...
Now, will Kelly close it or someone else ... nobody warming thru the top of the 9th looking like it's Kelly's until he gets in trouble.
There it is ...

Turner ... 0-1 0-2 foul K but dropped so he had to be thrown out running to 1st ... 1 OUT! Hernandez is next ... 0-1 1-1 2-1 3-1 3-2 foul K ... 2 OUT!
And the final victim is ...
Manny Machado ... How fitting would that be is that?
0-1 0-2 1-2 K
SOX WIN!!! SOX WIN!!! SOX WIN!!!

good of Cora to have Sale to close...with a 5-1 lead it was safe and Sale got to close...and Price got the win...unreal...Cora is somewhat of a savant...
Comment: Indeed ...

Wow...they sure took care of business in short order...awesome to see Price step up and perform of late...sort of a bummer that there is no game Tuesday in Fenway, but never good to let them up off the mat...yeah baby!

Pud had the Sox in 4 games.
Pud's bunion had the Sox in 5 games.
Neither predict that Manny Machado will be in Dodger blue next year (Welcome back injured Cory Seager).
Good riddance, Manny... and take Jansen with you.
End of season... end of story.
On the bright side, my 'skins are 5-2 and leading their division (Who knew??)

Sox questions ... Is Kimbrel gone after making no relief appearance in game 5 ... wonder if he's not one of their "trusted" guys? Does Eovaldi take Sox $ and come back or look for the best offer and end up a Yankee? Has Pearce peaked or will the Sox bring him back? Is Rodriguez in the LT plans or trade bait, especially is Eovaldi remains? Wright should have been on WS roster ahead or Pomerance, Workman and Hembree ... do any of them come back? Kinsler came in with a bang but out with a whimper as Holt replaced him for the final few wins ... Bye-Bye Kinsler!
Is Betts worth the big contract that he's refused to sign so far?

www.spotrac.com/mlb/boston-red-sox/payroll/Only 8 players signed with two player options (Nunez & Price) and one team option (Sale) ... the rest are Arbitration eligible or free agents. Dombrowski's gonna be busy this winter ...

Price opts in for another 4 yrs ...
Is this "Good, Bad or Ugly?"
