as a mainer, I'm just glad that a New England sports team has a shot for a title, it's been nearly 21 months since the last one.

IMO the biggest issue baseball has is,, the micromanaging and MOST ESPECIALLY game length

from fast DDG (not google) search:

football game - ~ 3hr 10 minutes
basketball game ~2 hr 20 minutes
nhl ~2hr 20 minutes

MLB ~3hr 5 minutes. in the playoffs its ~3hr 45minutes+

in the 1970's the game took on average 2hr 30 minutes

mlb NEEDS to speed up the game, it just takes too long with todays short attention span teens and early 20's adults = bored. not watching.

Baseball games need to be signficantly shorter and or much less games in a season.

The micromanagement in this postseason has been so over the top in every round. Massive management paranoia going on. A pitcher gives up two hits and they swap 'em out. Leads to a fuckload of commercial breaks and it's annoying.

This all comes from LvL/RvR match ups, and teams not letting starters go deep anymore.

This. When I was a kid the starter was expected to go 7 or 8 even if he was over 100 pc in the 5th. None of this middle relief, set up guy shit.

I think this is the future unfortunately unless something changes.

And then give up another 2. Dodgers are fucked
Red Sox score atleast 2 runs every time Madsen comes into the game. Meanwhile Kemp and Bellinger on base and Kiké not hitting at all. No idea what the hell Roberts is doing.

Can't let Price win a game. What the fuck.
The worked him hard in the 4th and he started struggling. Next inning they go right back to their usual bullshit. Also lets put our fucking hitters in please.

Unless they pull out a miracle in the 9th, they are in deep shit. They essentially will need to win the next 3 to have any chance in hell.
