World Series Spin Thread

I am rational and objective....but Kenley Jansen was the biggest factor costing the dodgers last year's world series and he's at it again this year. Just some of the most back breaking home runs given up. For all the slack Kershaw gets Kenley has been skating by under the radar, it's such a disappointment. We could've had a series....

Yeah for all that swagger and death stare and fierce delivery he has been awful.

I cannot believe Cora is starting Price over Sale. Maybe he is jealous of Roberts' bad moves and wants to catch up.

I can see some logic to it, including avoiding Price in the cold weather, giving Sale extra rest, saving Sale for a better advantage in pitching matchups, etc. But the two biggest, perhaps, are that Cora has been pretty spot on with his decisions this post season and that the teams knows boatloads more than any of us.

This could be kershaw's last start as a dodgers, let's start something and bring it back to Boston. I'm still shell-shocked so not sure if the players will have any fight left.

Hard to disagree without being labeled as irrational and delusional.

I assume LA has seen the last of Machado. He was useless in the Series; it seemed he was pressing too hard at the plate trying to hit every pitch out.

The script all year has been Kershaw will opt out, Price won’t. I wonder if anything shifts on those after the past few weeks.

He looks like a genius now.

The best motivation for the Red Sox to win tonight is Tuesday's Boston weather report: 41 degrees after the sun sets.
