Maybe next year.
Can’t deny the defensive upgrade at SS and 1B when Cabrera and Mientkiewicz came aboard. And Tito certainly wasn’t going to ignore the late game defensive replacement at 1B like John McNamara did with Dave Stapleton. So, ballsy move by Theo, but he was right.
True. And we got a ring out of it. But it still hurts

Sorry to make the obvious upon obvious comparison, but it's game 1 and that ball landed pretty much right where Gibson's HR landed in that stadium 36 years ago.

It's fine! He hadn't pitched in over a month, so his arm was fresh. Boone should use him in more high leverage spots.

I'm the most casual of casual baseball fans at this point in life.
Speaking from no point of knowledge at all, and well-aware there is logic behind the phenomenon, it is absolutely wild how much managers f*** around with pitchers nowadays. It's like the risk of bringing in a cold pitcher is universally discarded in favor of predetermined gameplan.
Also, Dave Roberts is enjoying this postgame interview more than any manager I've ever seen. It's like Fox hired him to be a personality for the show.

That was some Grady Little level decision making from Boone.
- First he brings in a guy who hasn't thrown in a month in the 10th
- Then with 2 outs and 1st and 3rd he walks the bases loaded to face Freeman. You don't need to set up double plays everywhere with 2 outs.
- Say he wants the lefty lefty match up, he leaves his lights out lefty reliever in the pen instead of having him face Freeman.

Great game 1.
Quite honestly, it's become almost impossible for me to root against the Dodgers or Yankees for a little while. I actually appreciate these two heavyweights going at each other. Two franchises that care about winning and spending relentlessly. I wish the same could be said about Boston, but they mailed it in at some point after 2018.

As long as the Yankees lose, I'm good.
We could of had Teoscar but once again, Sox cheap
