VIDEO: Tony Mazz breaks down the ALCS matchup



Get more video from the Globe reporters here.

Bottom Line: Tony's right, much like the Angels, the Rays have a very solid bullpen - that apparently includes The Incredible Hulk...

If we're trailing or close come the 6th or 7th, it's going to be a battle to put any late game runs on the board. This will be particularly important in Game 1 with Dice-K not likely to make it past the 6th inning. We need early leads and we need to keep these Rays from mounting late game comebacks like they did throughout the regular season.

We had a flair for the dramatic in the ALDS, but we didn't see much of that during the regular season... if too many of these games come down to walk offs and 8th inning rallies, the Sox could be in trouble.

Thoughts?
