Oh that kind of profile.

Maybe? Ask someone with a better memory, ha.

Hey remember when the Astros blew a big lead in the 8th inning at home a couple years ago in the ALDS?

Paul Swydan

7:18

I do, but it wasn't to be.

Bobby V

7:18

Should I update resume this winter?

Paul Swydan

7:19

Well, technically speaking, a resume is your best marketing document and you should be updating it all the time whether you are looking for a job or not.

Having said that, no, Bobby, don't bother.

I always expected more from the hype surrounding Springer. He was spoken of as a 30-30-.280 guy, and he hasn't hit that yet.

Paul Swydan

7:19

I mean, that's a pretty high bar.

7:20

But he got 2 of those 3 this year.

Do managers have to fill out job applications?

Paul Swydan

7:20

I hope so.

Hope Altuve gets another at-bat... Quadruple dong?

Paul Swydan

7:20

That would have been great.

Or, would BE great.

7:21

Yukes.

Yikes!

Buck Jacobsen

7:21

Ray of sunshine for the Sox? Correa and Springer are terrible. Right?

Paul Swydan

7:21

I actually think that is the most frightening thing. They scored 8 runs with nothing from Correa and Springer.

Ricky P coming in for a garbage inning! yummmm

Does Farrell really like Fister over Ricky P?

Paul Swydan

7:22

He does.

Soxfan

7:23

Ok fire Farrell now. Porcello, here? Now?

Paul Swydan

7:23

I guess if Porcello wanted an inning to stay sharp?

That's the only rationale I can come up with.

AdamZ

7:23

The Red Sox have $50 million tied up in two relievers right now.

Concrete melts off me

"James Lee Kaat, nicknamed "Kitty", is a former American Major League Baseball pitcher"

Paul Swydan

7:23

He sure is.

ChatzMcGee

7:24

Kitty Kaat is intimidating.

Paul Swydan

7:24

His fastball will scratch your eyes out.

I think Springer has been overshadowed with Altuve, Correa et. al. I'd take Springer on my team, that's for sure (RIP Giants)

I remember Jim Kaat pitching the penultimate game of the 1967 season. Ah yes, I remember it well. Yaz's 3-run shot off Jim Merritt in the 7th. The ensuing 50 years have, with a few slips, been very enjoyable for a Red Sox fan.

Major Minor

Why not throw Porcello here? Tomorrow's Pomerantz and their best bullpen arms. Game 4 is Sale.

Paul Swydan

7:26

If pitching now jeopardized Porcello's ability to start Game 4, then it was a bad decision.

If it didn't, then fine.

I don't have the answer to that.

Conner from AZ

7:26

Paul are you blogging the Yankees-Indians? Or who is?

Paul Swydan

7:26

I am not, and no one is, sadly.

7:27

And somehow, this game might end as NYY-CLE starts.

I assumed there would be a lot of overlap.

Connecting…
