Boston is so locked in.. it’s truly bizarre. Hottest team in baseball history. They don’t even offer at pitchers close to the strike zone.
Conversation between JD and the Ump after that borderline strike JD- "What gives, you called that a ball earlier?" Ump- "That was to get you guys the lead, now I have to look like I'm trying"
We've been walking the pitching tightrope all year long. You can get away with that in the regular season with a historically good lineup but in the post season...not so much.
