Well, another World Series has concluded, another season passed, some of us enjoyed it, while others, as they say, not so much.
What was your fav moments?

Betts million pitch at bat ending with a grand slam.
Every incredible catch by JBJ, Betts and Benintendi all season long.
Basically the entire postseason.
Manny Machado striking out to end the World Series.

Obvious all things Red Sox, but two specific things,
The Sox winning 3 straight in Houston to take ALCS, specifically the Game 4 with the incredible Benintendi catch to win it.
And most importantly, the Sox celebrating not once, but twice at Yankee Stadium, clinching the division and ALDS there.
A couple of non-Sox things,
Christian Yelich hitting for two cycles against the same team and getting a triple both times to complete it.
Pablo Sandoval pitching against Dodgers in early April, not only fun to watch, but he was actually dealing.

The part where Gabe Kapler brought in a reliever without him having warmed up in the bullpen and getting schooled by the umpire, setting the tone for the Chip Kelly of MLB.

Might be 10,000 candidates but I'll name two...
1. The 8/2 game against the Yankees. The Yanks were closing, 6.5 gb. The 1978 talk was starting. Chris Sale went on the DL minuted before the start of a HUGE four game series. With Brian "AC/DC" Johnson starting. Steve Pear4ce hits 3 HR's and the Sox piss beat (one for you marco) the Yanks. The Sox go on to easily sweep the Yanks. AL East was over in the first week of August.
2. The 9/5 game against the Atlanta Braves. Total throwaway game. Interleague game when the Sox had a 9.5 game lead against the Yanks and a 9.5 lead against the Astros for home field advantage. Braves score 5 in the 5th for a 7-2. Big deal. Nope Sox score six to tie. Freddie Freeman hits a HR in the bottom of the 8th to take lead. Nice try? Not so fast. Top of the 9th, a two run HR by Brandon Phillips who soldiered in the International League as an emergency 2b.
Bottom line, this team had balls. Huge balls. The 2016 and 2017 teams never ever would have won those two games.

Seeing Kevin Gausman escape the Os and pitch well for the Bravos.

The Braves/Phillies game on opening day would be my favorite moment. Nick Markakis with the walk off grand slam really set a mood for the 2018 Atlanta Braves team being he shocking division winner that they were.

I wasn't 100% sure they had the grit to win a title, despite how dominant they were in the regular season. They answered every question and then some. |

Oh yeah, pretty sure that's the game where Kapler took him out after 5 and 1/3 innings because analytics told him not to let him go through the batting order a 3rd time despite pitching a 3 hit 1 run gem. Also apparently I misremember the walk off home run. It was a 3 run Markakis homer. His grand slam must have come later in the year. Meshed together for me I guess. |

Another I will say is Ronald Acuna's leadoff home run streak. For me as a Braves fan that shit was very exciting. Acuna hit his 7th leadoff home run in a row. Then the Marlins pitcher Jose Urena decides to fucking drill him his first at bat. That shit pisses me off because Acuna was lucky to get out of that without a serious injury. Idk what unwritten rule that shit served but that fucker is gonna get a shot to the ribs if he comes up to bat against the Braves next year. Oddly enough he served his suspension while the Marlins and Braves played for the final time. He's a god damned coward. |

Tho I think mr Unwritten Rule Brian McCann had something to do about how that all started a couple years ago between those teams. |

Hader striking out 8 in 2 2/3 innings for a save was awesome.

Watching the Sox parade on youtube right now. Remember when these used to be rare? The front page of my local paper used to have full page photos with headlines Sox Win! or Pats Win! Monday's front page of the paper had like a 2x2 photo in the corner with a caption, Red Sox win World Series.
