If the score stands, Price is probably the MVP. Would make for a nice story.
(Pierce has an outside shot as well)

oh wait I misread -- you think Pearce has it in the bag. I'm not so sure.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:40 (five years ago) link
Price/Pearce co-MVPs, I'm calling it.
― WmC, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:40 (five years ago) link
how is it decided?
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:42 (five years ago) link
If this holds up, I'd vote for Price myself. Good question--is there an actual vote that takes place, or do three or four league executives just huddle in the runway and pick someone?
― clemenza, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:43 (five years ago) link
pearce has to be one of the best random midseason acquisitions i can remember. from that series in august where he single handedly destroyed the yankees it's been a great ride.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:44 (five years ago) link
As much as I dislike the Red Sox, I’m cool with Price making the Sox faithful eat crow, they draggged him in the mud last season.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 29 October 2018 02:47 (five years ago) link
Good for Cora. He let Price go out for the 8th and gave him a baserunner. And now you hand it over to the bullpen.

i don't post here much but i do follow the sox and i will say this team had some holes despite the regular season record. cora and the analytics ppl made those holes magically disappear in the playoffs and deserve a huge amount of credit for pulling that off.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 29 October 2018 03:24 (five years ago) link
I'm sure everyone loved seeing it end with Machado on his knees.

yeah i'll add that i'm also glad for Cora.

I think he lost a few millions this post-season.

he can make as much money as he wants but i'll remember him on his knees losing the world series so i think we're even
― call all destroyer, Monday, 29 October 2018 03:29 (five years ago) link
(xpost) I'd be inclined to agree with that--he'll have to scrape by on $250M.
― clemenza, Monday, 29 October 2018 03:30 (five years ago) link
Can't say the best team didn't win. All three of their series victories were decisive, they lost only one game each time. Against two 100-win teams too, and a Dodger team that won 100 last year and is probably just as good this year, True Talent-wise.

It appears I didn't miss much.
Not sure there's another 5-game WS where I will remember the game the losers won most.

Man, when it's Kelly, Eovaldi up in the bullpen, and Sale to close out two innings, have to say I didn't see much in the way of holes with this team.
Astros may have had holes last year too but they were very, very good.

The only thing I want baseball to take from soccer is giving the trophy to an actual player and not the owner.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 29 October 2018 03:35 (five years ago) link
i guess i'll say one more thing which is for a team with a wild payroll they played with a super egalitarian style--big-name starters pitching relief innings, bench players starting and contributing. i guess sale and betts and martinez help with setting that tone.

you just noted that two starters pitched out of the bullpen so i think you're making my point?

also Yankees fans are pissed. so there's that.

Starting aces in the bullpen, in our time, goes back to at least 2001 Arizona though.
why does he always pitch bad then
And I award the Klemenza Kup to k3vin k!
I'll always think of this as the year when Jacob deGrom was the best player in the sport. Now, back to yer precious HOF thread. G'night!

Dedicated to all Blue Jays players, now you too can dream of being traded mid-season and win the World Series MVP.

Kevin Brown pitched out of the bullpen in the '98 NLCS. There may have been some before that.
― timellison, Monday, 29 October 2018 03:45 (five years ago) link
Is he gone?
The best team doesn't often come out on top in baseball, but resoundingly the best team won this year.

can you guys tell me about a world series where 2 guys pitched both starter and relief innings and 2 starters from the prior series pitched only in relief or do you want to just tell me about things i already know?

I think it's been the case over the last 3 seasons, so maybe that's a new trend.
