ALDS Game 1 @ Houston

[TylerD]

We are 1 out away from him having 3 innings of not giving up anymore runs. He has rebounded pretty nice since that ugly start..... Been a bit of a nerve wrecking inning but regardless as long as he holds the Astros off the board that is all I care about at this point.

 

Disregard what I said...... My god Sale....... SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[d-money]

Just utter failure. That's what happens when you don't capitalize.

[TylerD]

I blame JF for burning out sale in meaningless September innings

 

I agree somewhat but honestly Sale has regressed so much since the All Star break it's not even funny. He has had a couple really nice starts in the second half but otherwise its been night and day from the first half of the season to the 2nd half of the season.

[Slasher9]

That overturned call cost us 2 runs. f*** you New York

[d-money]

Last year it was price who stunk it up. Now it's sale.

I just don't get the excuses for this guy. A lot of pitchers before him have pitched over 200 innings. He's not in the 230s. This guy's fragile. Skinny.

The best part of this game so far is the HeMan geico commercial. So great

[d-money]

Let's see if this offense still has life.

[Slasher9]

I ❤️ Hanley

HanRam 2-2... just sayin’

True

[TylerD]

we're still hitting. Do some damage this inning..... Although not sure if it will matter if we keep giving up 2 more runs the next inning from bad pitching... Constantly playing from behind.

He's coming up big for us today which is the important thing. Not the best season compared to last year but when players come through in meaningful games it goes a long way.

[OH FOY]

Taking too many good pitches.

[TheXandyManCan]

anybody order room service....lame

[Slasher9]

Ugggh

[TylerD]

Well that was pathetic.

[FredLynn]

I'm feeling good about this game, we are swing the bats good, against Verlander.

 

Still feeling good? Sale has been horrible since the beginning of September. He is spent.

[Slasher9]

We need to find a way to have a shutdown inning right here.

[Emp9]

Where’s Atros’ BP ranked? I should know but i don’t

[oldtimer]

Don't like the way both Bogey and Beni take two good fastball strikes and then are forced to swing at the pitchers pitch. For once, just go after that first fastball.

[Emp9]

Who their closer? Giles?

[TheXandyManCan]

18th I believe- that's where we need to beat them. That DP didn't help

[FredLynn]

The pen has to come in and try to hold them to four runs. Sale is going to give up more very soon. He needs to get some weight on his body and it has to be muscle weight.

[d-money]

That was quick. This team can't even give up more runs.

[Emp9]

If Sale goes the distance, I’m not too disappointed in him giving up 4 runs. Even if he goes 8

[d-money]

Still feeling good? Sale has been horrible since the beginning of September. He is spent.

 

He has to do something over the summer. Add some muscle or weight. He's a tall guy.

[TylerD]

Even with Sale pitching today I was expecting it would take 5 runs today to win this game. Very tough to hold Houston to 4 runs or less.

[d-money]

Time's running out on this offense. They have to do something next inning.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sale, maybe you can stop leaving cockshots up to the little guy.
