    Same thing happened to the Cubs after Bartman.
    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.

    I'm just glad it was her husband on the mound last night and he got zapped with all 4 runs.

    LOL David Price appears to tell Alex Bregman 'post that' after Nathan Eovaldi strikes him out

    NBC Sports Boston Staff


    Remember Alex Bregman's controversial Instagram stunt before Game 3? David Price does.

    Before Game 3, Alex Bregman trolled Nathan Eovaldi by posting a video of the Astros hitting back-to-back-to-back home runs off him in June. In the eighth inning of Game 5, Eovaldi got sweet revenge by striking out the Astros third baseman.

    Price seemed to enjoy the moment even more than Eovaldi, as he can be seen appearing to tell "Post that!" from the dugout.

    Bregman probably should have learned a valuable lesson from Aaron Judge's boombox incident in the ALDS: Don't dare troll the Red Sox in the middle of a series.

    Impressive win by the Brewers. And without using Hader.

    Game 7 tomorrow.

    Kershaw v Sale tonite...should be a good one. In his 10 years in the Majors, Kershaw has never pitched at Fenway and never faced the Red Sox.

    Last time the Dodgers and Sox met in the WS was 102 years ago.

    102 years... wow.

    Back when they were still the Brooklyn Dodgers, I assume.

    Nope, it even pre-dates their name change to the Dodgers. They were the Brooklyn Robins, named after their manager, Wilbert Robinson.

    Whine World Series 2018: Dodgers pitching coach rips Fenway Park's 'brutal' bullpens after Clayton Kershaw's flop

    by Pete Blackburn - CBS Sports




    It wasn't the best showing for Clayton Kershaw or the Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday. The Dodgers' ace gave up five runs on seven hits in four innings in Boston and Los Angeles dropped the first game of the series by a score of 8-4. (To be fair, Chris Sale wasn't his best on the other side, either.)

    After the game, Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt didn't seem thrilled about the bullpen situation at Fenway Park. Honeycutt discussed how close the bullpen is to the outfield bleachers and may have indirectly suggested that Kershaw's lackluster performance in Game 1 could have been affected by a tense pregame warmup session in the pen.

    From Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci:

    Kershaw felt the full-on Fenway effect the minute he took to the bullpen mound to warm up for World Series Game 1 Tuesday night.

    "Brutal. Pretty brutal," said Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, making his first trip to the Fens since 2010. Not much has changed. The rubber of the pitching mound in the visitors' bullpen is but three feet from the bleacher seats. "What I don't understand is why baseball allows it. You've got the rubber right there and people literally standing over you."

    Honeycutt's not wrong in that both of Fenway's bullpens are located in very close proximity to the right field stands, and that provides plenty of access for fans to heckle members of the opposing team. And he's also not wrong that it can be pretty brutal at times.

    But that's also just the way it goes. One of the beautiful things about baseball is that all the ballparks have their own little quirks and sometimes they find a way to provide a little home field advantage. (The visitor's clubhouse at Fenway Park is also laughably small and dingy.) Boston certainly isn't the only place that presents these unwelcoming challenges, and every opposing pitcher who has ventured into Fenway over the years has had to deal with the "brutal" nature of Sox fans being right in their kitchen as they warm up in the pen. It's just part of the deal.

    Complaining and suggesting that Major League Baseball should make the Red Sox change it seems like a little much. And, if we're being honest, doing so after Game 1 of the World Series is probably not what you want to see if you're a Dodgers fan. That just oozes loser's mentality.

    Luckily, if we know anything about Red Sox fans, they will undoubtedly be much quieter and more polite during Game 2 on Wednesday now that they know they're bothering the opponent.
