Astros, 10/8, game 3, ALDS

[Spudboy]

Such a random inning.

 

Yawn.

[NativeBostonian]

So if we hang on here who will pitch game 4? Porcello? I would be scared to pitch sale on short rest.

 

I’d be more nervous with Porcello. He gives up a lot of home runs against normal teams.

[Northern Star]

So the key to the Red Sox offense is clearly me going to the grocery store.

 

Damn nice to be dishing it out instead of taking it, for once.

Too quick a turn around for Sale, I'd imagine. But then you have Porcello.... Rodriguez available, too. None are ideal.

[Spudboy]

I will bet anyone two neurons that Valazquez starts game 4.

For me the fireworks usually happen when I go outside to smoke.

[S5Dewey]

ERod would be the guy for me. It's going to be All Hands On Deck whomever it is.

[Northern Star]

Assuming we hold on for the win here, who to start tomorrow is a huge dilemma. Sale is out of gas and got beat like a drum already against this lineup. Starting him on short rest doesn't bode well. I think I take my chances with Porcello.

[iortiz]

Oks.

 

They have to send Sale tomo.

 

I don’t want to see Young and Marrero.

 

Farrell’s two neurons shouldn’t be the show stopper.

[Jasonbay44]

Its gonna suck we wont have Price for game 4, He's only guy whose really pitched well this series.

[TylerD]

Reed with a quick inning.

I was just thinking that.

[S5Dewey]

Reed with a quick inning.

 

Is Reed that good, or have the Astros given up on this game?

[moonslav59]

ERod would be the guy for me. It's going to be All Hands On Deck whomever it is.

 

Start ERod. If he falters early, we'll need to hope Porcello can pull a Price in relief.

Odds say, we won’t suck like the last two games.

[S5Dewey]

I agree. It is. But to put the best possible spin on it we also have to win Game 5 to advance and he'll be able to pitch a few innings then.

[S5Dewey]

Yep

[Northern Star]

ERod would be the guy for me.

 

ERod and Porcello equally suck against Houston - I'd go with the more experienced pitcher.

[a700hitter]

We shouldn't let kimbrel warmup today in case we need 2 innings from him tomorrow.

[Northern Star]

Gotta drop XMan in the order tomorrow. Who would you have lead off? JBJ? Pedey? Betts??

[Hitch]

Drop him to 7/8th, move everyone up one.

[Larry Cook]

Houston is feasting on fastballs, we need a junk ball pitcher tomorrow.

[OH FOY]

Man was there a lot of key plays and Pitching in this game.

[TylerD]

Absolutely need Porcello to go at least 6 innings tomorrow.

[a700hitter]

Tomorrow is a redemption opportunity for Porcello.

[OH FOY]

He would have never got him anyway, no big deal Raffy.

[illinoisredsox]

I'm a little surprised Marrero isn't at third this inning.

[NativeBostonian]

Let’s hope it gets rained out tomorrow so Sale has one more days rest, so he can start.

[a700hitter]

Farrell, WTF do you have Marrero on the roster. Devers could only hurt himself out there right now. Let him ice his hamstring.

[OH FOY]

I would never let Porcello pitch 2 times against this order. 3 innings, then E-Rod 3. 1 time through the order.
