David Freese draws a two out walk but the Dodgers strand him immediately. No score, middle of the first. Note: Red Sox starter David Price threw only two changeups in the inning; that was the pitch he used to beat the Astros to win the pennant.

Three up, three down for the Red Sox against Hyun-Jin Ryu.

No score after one full inning.

Xander Bogaerts doubles off the Green Monster with one out . . . Ian Kinsler singles him home with two out . . . the Red Sox are on the board, 1-0 . . . Kinsler running on the pitch, Jackie Bradley, Jr. lines a single to left center, Chris Taylor runs it down in the gap and throws out Kinsler trying for third. 1-0, Red Sox after two.

There should be a vented grate on the pitching rubber where a pitcher can put his pitching hand between pitches/plays.

It's 47 degrees.  87 in LA

Not right.

Two-out walk and a force out at second to follow, the Dodgers still behind, 1-0 after two and a half . . . make note that the Dodger hitters are starting to lay off David Price's changeup . . .

@DCPatriot
I have a better idea---let the pitchers use the kind of fingerless gloves bowlers use. That'd help them grip their pitches better or at least keep their throwing hands reasonably warm.

p.s. Don't let the weather fool you too completely. The Red Sox can play in spring/summertime weather as well as they play in the Fenway fridge . . . ;)

Bases loaded, nobody out, the plate ump squeezing the hell out of the strike zone on both sides . . . Matt Kemp scores David Freese with a sacrifice fly with nobody out and the game is tied at one all in the top of the fourth . . .

Yasiel Puig lofts a soft liner over Ian Kinsler's head, sends home Manny Machado, the Dodgers have their first lead of the Series. 2-1, two out, Dodgers still hitting in the top of the fourth.

Three up, three down for the Red Sox in the fourth, Dodger starter Hyun-Jin Ryu is getting his curve ball well located tonight even with the plate ump squeezing the zone against both sides . . . 2-1, Dodgers after four . . .

David Price becomes the fourth Red Sox pitcher to go two consecutive postseason starts allowing two runs or less and three hits or less. The others: Derek Lowe (2004), Pedro Martinez (1999), Jim Lonborg (1967)

Three up, three down for the Dodgers in the top of the seventh, including Joe Kelly absolutely freezing pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal on a filthy changeup hitting the middle.

4-2, Red Sox, middle of the seventh . . .

Is it me, or would I be tempted if I were broadcasting the game to say, "Two out, nobody on, the Red Sox are threatening . . . "

The Red Sox get a runner to third on a one-out double and a two-out wild pitch, but can't get him home. 4-2, Red Sox after seven . . .
