It's Tampa Bay Rays vs. Boston Red Sox in the first game of an MLB Playoff doubleheader on Saturday. Check out the live stream available online as Postseason.TV brings all the live action with innovative angles covering Game 2 of this series.
The Red Sox jumped out the gate in Game 1, taking the series opener 12-2. They were relentless in their attack simply making the Rays pay for their mistakes. When the Red Sox scored on Friday, they made sure to do it in bunches. They had a five-run fourth, three-run fifth and just to make sure the Rays understood that it was more than a game, they added a four-run eighth inning, stealing bases and calling hit and runs as if the insurance was necessary.
It seems to be a thing in New England, the Patriots have added insult to injury time and time again and the Red Sox made sure their divisional opponents took them seriously. Was it uncalled for? Depends on what side you cheer for. If the Rays want payback, they have the right man taking the mound in David Price.
Price owns the Red Sox, posting just one poor start against their A.L. foe this season. In five starts, Price has allowed a total of nine earned runs, four of which came in one start. So you already know Price handled business in the other four starts.
As much as the focus is on Price while he's on the mound, the Red Sox fans will be focusing on youngster Wil Myers' every move in right field. Who knows? Maybe manager Joe Madden places Myers as the DH and gives him a rest from the outfield? After his miscue in right-field in Game 1, expect taunts from Boston fans. Will Myers handle the pressure elegantly or will this create a hangover, affecting the rookies' performance in Game 2?
