How about a thread to compile some of the best moments of this incredible run. Videos, gifs, etc. I'll start it simple with the final out.
Really glad Sale got his postseason moment. Was weird seeing him not really be a factor but he was clearly dealing with physical ailments. And the look on his face before the pitch was priceless.How about a thread to compile some of the best moments of this incredible run. Videos, gifs, etc. I'll start it simple with the final out.
My favorite. Walk-off defensive plays like that are better than a grand slam to end it
That and Eovaldi’s effort... two moments, both in rare post season losses, were huge, inspiring moments. I think the team was fired up by them too.Brasier telling Gary Sanchez to get in the fucking box. Even though it came in a loss, it seemed like it typified the attitude of the whole team.
This. And Price getting amped in the bullpen and kicking the wall.That and Eovaldi’s effort... two moments, both in rare post season losses, were huge, inspiring moments. I think the team was fired up by them too.
This was my favorite moment.Chris Fucking Sale, with the rally cry and for making Machado look stupid to seal the Championship
This was also really good.Sale getting a hero's send off in the Boston bullpen from his teammates. I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. If anyone could post that I would appreciate it. I would like to watch in a loop about a hundred times.
I really enjoyed watching joe kelly - he was locked in and pitching. I felt he had a danger to him - perhaps irrational but his performance was as compelling to me as was that of Nathan and the rest of the starters humping as the relief corps. That said DAVID PRICE. Desperate for the ball, the moment and the team - all heart.Every Joe Kelly appearance
Seconded. Went looking for it this morning, but couldn't find it.Sale getting a hero's send off in the Boston bullpen from his teammates. I don't think I have ever seen anything like that. If anyone could post that I would appreciate it. I would like to watch in a loop about a hundred times.
There was a great moment where Price met Kelly on the top step after that K too. Haven’t found it on replay anywhere yet.Joe Kelly's final appearance and screaming FUCK YEAH as he walked off the mound
That guy had a rough season but my god did he sack up in October.
He could get away with more, he was "protected". When you're a designated "star" you can get away with it.Machado strikes out twice, to end the first inning, and then to end the WS. He really gave the ump a mouthful in the first inning, looked like he narrowly avoided getting thrown out.
Six innings in the World Series. More than Porcello or Sale. Every pitch high leverage. Zero walks.Joe Kelly's final appearance and screaming FUCK YEAH as he walked off the mound

this guy live streamed the game and posted to youtube if you would like a in stadium watch of key moments. He zoomed in on Sale coming out of the pen.
Look at Garlan's post with the guy that live streamed. Right around 3:06 mark is when Sale came in. He got a decent shot of the bullpenSeconded. Went looking for it this morning, but couldn't find it.

He just shut the door.
Haven’t seen a pic, but here’s the gif.Has anyone seen a picture of the three B's coming in from the outfield after the final out?
The video reminded me instantly of the famous Bergeron/Marchand/Seguin photo from Toronto in 2013.
That was a beautiful hit. It's almost better than a grand slam. Clears the bases but you still have a guy on second putting pressure on the pitcher. A great trait of this year's team is how we have so many players who can run well and will take the extra base. It's something only a hardcore baseball fan can appreciate.I'd have to say Pearce's gapper in game 4. The Dodgers had a momentum shift in the 18 inning game, I was fearful that they had the advantage - but the pendulum definitely swung back to the Sox with that one, there was no looking back after that.
Man, I could just sit and watch that for hours. Beautiful.Haven’t seen a pic, but here’s the gif.
My mind still keeps going back to the Nunez quote in the postgame interview where he said something about Cora like "He made me feel better than what I am." That's a pretty good one-line definition of leadership.People have all the great stuff covered. What has struck me over the past week or so is how much this team seems to genuinely love playing baseball with and for each other. There's an authenticity and joy to their play and reactions, and while it sounds sappy, it's thrilling as a fan to be a part of it. I think Cora has a ton to do with it, as the guys to a man seem to revere him. Their joy is our joy, times 100.
