Wow, how awesome is that ? What a bunch of guys - I cannot believe the bullpen got it together for the World Series. Joe Kelley suddenly turned into a 1, 2, 3 strikeout relief pitcher. After they beat the Yankees and after they beat the Astros, I believed they could beat the Dodgers and they did ! Chris Sale yelled and screamed in the dugout in Game 4 when we were down 4-0. The next inning they scored 3 runs. Mid season acquisition Steve Pearce delivered consistently - 2 homeruns in this game ! The bottom of the order really delivered, Pearce, pinch hitter Mitch Moreland hit a home run last night off the bench. The Brockstar, position player Brock Holt came through in the clutch with hits and plays from second base.
And David Price. He must be the happiest guy - now he finally pitched and won games in the Post season for the first time in his 15 year MLB career. Happiness for him and us. I guess he won't opt out of his contract with the Sox now.
Steve Pearce gets the Willie Mays MVP award with everybody cheering on the field ! He gets an amazing large and heavy trophy plus a fire engine red Chevy truck. He's 35 years old and played for every team in the AL East.
No one will ever forget this 2018 team with the most wins of any Red Sox team - 108.
Alex Cora - rookie Manager....wins the World Series on his first year managing - the whole thing was miraculous. Starter Chris Sale closed out the game in the 9th. Just spectacular....
Fire up the duckboats ! Ready for the parade :):)
