The morning of Game Five, before the Red Sox had won anything and we still had to wait for that final victory to seal things up, I wrote about who was making an impact on the Red Sox playoff run. Specifically, I wrote about the role players surprisingly and heroically picking up some poor performances from the stars on the roster. That’s why I’m not even a little upset about Steve Pearce winning the World Series MVP. I’ve said it in a few different locations, but objectively I think it should have gone to David Price if only one player could win it.
