Astros, 9/30

[cp176]

He ain't young in my book, but he is having a helluva season.

 

You ain't young in my book Max -lol. - Pomeranz at 28 is though. Kid deserved that ovation.

Why did Farrell take Pom out? Had to take the dog out, didnt see it.

[TylerD]

Uh oh. New reliever please.

[NativeBostonian]

Let's go Price!

[TylerD]

Price!

[Station 13]

You done goof Farrell

[Station 13]

And Smith didn't take the memo you don't throw a middle in pitches to that lineup. Edited September 30, 2017 by Station 13

[NativeBostonian]

What a play. Wow

[Station 13]

Filthy pitch to Cameron.

[TylerD]

Getting slightly nervous. WOnt lie.

[TylerD]

f*** Price has looked awesome. Great weapon to have.

[Slasher9]

JF is a f***ing idiot. You give Carson smith 1 base runner. That's it. f***ing win in spite of him I swear to god

[NativeBostonian]

Mookie!!!!!!!

[TylerD]

Mookie!!!!!! Insurance runs!

[TylerD]

Should bring in Price for one more inning and then close it out with Kimbrel.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. Just wow. Six scoreless innings on 79 pitches. Today Pom is on his game. And you can bet the Astros want to win to keep a shot at the home field advantage should they get to the ALCS.

 

Assuming we win--still need 9 big outs--it's us vs. these guys, best out of 5. Clearly our first two starters have to be Sale and Pom. After that I'm not sure. I like Fister because, unlike ERod and Porcello, he is a pitcher and not a thrower.

 

You dummy. Next time don't count your chickens too soon--you are responsible for those two Astro runs.

Why did Farrell take Pom out? Had to take the dog out, didnt see it.

 

For whatever reason, Pom's fast baseball had slowed to about 86mph. Thus that single was a pretty good warning sign. Smith wasn't much help, but Price sure was. Then Reed in the 8th.

[Maxbialystock]

Two hits for Holt and a great defensive play. World turned upside down.

[Maxbialystock]

You done goof Farrell

 

Actually, no. Pom was clearly running out of gas or the rain bothered him. It was time. It just wasn't time for Smith, but sure was for Price.

[Maxbialystock]

JF is a f***ing idiot. You give Carson smith 1 base runner. That's it. f***ing win in spite of him I swear to god

 

Baloney. Smith had not given up a run before today. As it turned out, he's lousy pitching in the rain. Price, fortunately, is not.

[TylerD]

Let's finish this off boys.

[Slasher9]

Not baloney. You are looking to lock up the division. Carson smith should get 1 base runner. That's it. They win in spite of JF

[cp176]

This team deserves to celebrate!!! let's go -

[cp176]

come on

[cp176]

[SoxHop]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TylerD]

Great win!!!! Division winners again boys and girls!!!

[Maxbialystock]

You boo birds are all about 20-20 hindsight and of course ignore anything right the manager does--like insert Holt who made a great play and got 2 hits. You also seem not to care what the players do as long as you can blame something on the manager.

 

It's this simple: the Sox just won their 2d straight division title for the first time in their entire history and this year did it without the usual great hitting and despite a near collapse of the rotation. So you can second guess all you want to, but winning managers are keepers. Simple as that.

[d-money]

About f***ing time!!! Celebrate it today!!!!

[Northern Star]

Rings a bit hollow when we're facing this same Astros team again.
