At this point, I don't think there's any doubt they hate us more than Boston. We're soooooooo deep in their heads.

That's how we would be if it was Dodgers vs Yankees WS

I'd hope for cancellation

I wonder if this could be a situation where it bothers him and it's something more serious but it's not gonna make it worse to pitch through it and he waits until the off season to address it.

Anyone found articles on how we match up with the Red Sox? Looking for a deep dive into how we stack up against Eovaldi, Rodriguez, and the rest of their starters.

This is all I've found online thus far.

Quote:
Red Sox pitchers got knocked around by the Astros
Again, take this with some salt, but Astros hitters punished Red Sox pitchers. Eduardo Rodriguez gave up six hits and six runs in his lone appearance against Houston, while Nathan Eovaldi had one of his worst outings of the year a season-high 11 hits to go with five runs and three walks in a 5.2-inning loss.
To make matters worse: The Astros didn't just hit Red Sox pitchers, they hit hard. Two of the Astros' hardest-hitting games this season came against the Red Sox, per Baseball Savant, including one performance in which 64.4 percent of hits met the qualifications.
Some good news? The two hardest-hit games were coughed up by Martn Perez and Garrett Richards, neither of whom remain in the rotation. The Red Sox also got a nice performance by Nick Pivetta (three hits, two runs nine strikeouts) in a 2-1 loss on June 2. If the Red Sox lose games when the Astros score two runs during this series, their pitching won't be at fault.

This seems like a really stupid idea. What kind of market is he going to have at 16 M a year for a guy who's been terrible for years outside of a 3 month window.

Boston knew what the were doing when they declined anything more than a QO and he didnt take it. Kimbrel and Keuchel were together in that same FA class and sat out together. Neither has aged well.

Nothing indepth, but reasonably balanced from a Sox website.

One of my buds is a Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics fan. We usually wager when our teams match up. Most times its a bottle of whiskey, but we're trying to get a little more creative. Right now, loser has to jump into a lake in Dec/Jan. We usually go up there for New Years. I don't love the idea. What else yall got?

Yeah that sounds awful.

How about the loser buys a nice dinner when you visit.

But also has to wear a shirt of the winners picking to a home game next season. Also must provide photo evidence.

Buy and wear the winner's jersey to the a home game of the loser (you'd have to wear a Red Sox jersey to a Stros game, he'd have to wear a Stros jersey to a Sox game) along with a social media post of the shaming.

Someone commented 'And yet not dominant at all' while pointing out his 4+ ERA.

Fingers crossed for an early day game. I have a wedding that night and I'd like to find a bar in Philly to sit around drinking and watching until I had to go

Loser has to sit in a Waffle House for 24 hours. Here's the catch.

For every waffle eaten, an hour gets deducted.

Not sure if it's any indication, but on their official Postseason schedule page, our game is listed above the NLCS game that will take place that day.

When times are announced they will be updated here, but I honestly have no idea if the current order is any indication of what they want to do. I did notice that for the potential game 6 Saturday they have the NLCS game listed ahead of ours, so backwards from the current listing of this weekend's games.
