6/3 @Houston

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If a team is gonna split a 4 game series, this is the way to do it. Win the last two.

[vegasbob]

Bogaerts may have his swing back, but hope he doesn't try to steal 3rd while Sandy is standing on it. Time to pick up another 2 runs, JDM

[jad]

Uh oh.

[S5Dewey]

Sam Travis comes through!

[TylerD]

Opening the flood gates.

[vegasbob]

Gotta love Sam Travis showing up with a big hit.

[S5Dewey]

Didn't Travis hit better in Boston than he did in Pawtucket the last time he was called up?

[SoxHop]

Sam Travis kicking Astro ass....... gotta love it..

[jad]

And JDM?

[vegasbob]

Cora is a freaking genius with these moves. Sitting sore toed JDM for a career AAA'er who comes through

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Opening the flood gates.

 

Is there enough water to bring in Johnson?

[Sox75]

Hello Sam! Bye bye Swi!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sam Travis kicking Astro ass....... gotta love it..

 

Sam Travis. That's about as Texas a name as one could have.

[Sox75]

Didn't Travis hit better in Boston than he did in Pawtucket the last time he was called up?

 

He's had some tough injuries. Much better history than Swi,, who has s*** in the minors.

[S5Dewey]

NO!!

We've got ESPN next Thursday night too. UGHHHHHHHHHH

Think it is lower back

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

NO!!

You've had a lot of UGHH'S tonight, Dewey.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gee, I think I've lost most of my fear of Houston.

[S5Dewey]

You've had a lot of UGHH'S tonight, Dewey.

 

I have. But that's the biggest one.

[SoxHop]

Sam Travis. That's about as Texas a name as one could have.

 

True....... Maybe only Sam Houston would be better.

[SoxHop]

Gee, I think I've lost most of my fear of Houston.

 

Same here........

[Sox75]

This was a huge series & great Red Sox comeback to split it!

 

Very nice 2 nights! Good on Pricey & Porcello for showing up & being the #2 & #3 they are fully capable of!

[S5Dewey]

True....... Maybe only Sam Houston would be better.

 

We had a three sport high school star up here in the great Northeast a couple of years ago named Sam Houston.

What a terrific way to end the weekend assuming JD is actually OK.

 

A split in a park that is a graveyard for LH pitchers with a rotation that is just about as heavily loaded to LH starters as it gets. Frankly given where the rotation is right now there were no real heart attack moments. Pom is still working his way back or whatever the heck he is doing. But he didn't fall apart. Sale was not dominant Sale but there was nothing there that had you clutching your heart.

 

Price puts in a very solid LH performance in this place against this team and then tonight our LH hitting corp I think has its best game of the season while Porcello and the entire pitching effort just kept the Astros off balance mainly with timely use of their secondary pitches. Every one of them from Porcello through Barnes to Hembree just threw a terrific and very well thought out game.

[TylerD]

Jesus let this game end lol

[SoxHop]

These annoucers still talking crap about boston and DickWad just laughing.................. the total worse both I've ever heard.

[S5Dewey]

Jesus let this game end lol

 

For Chrissake, Heath. Get it done.

[S5Dewey]

A good game by the Sox and a good evening in the Game Thread. Thanks everyone.

[vegasbob]

So Hembree holds on using only 28 pitches to secure a 6 run lead in the 9th. Sometimes you have to wonder.

 

However, this may actually be the best series of the year to split with Houston at thier park against their best 4 including Verlander and Morton. No story here folks, you can all go home and sleep soundly.

[SoxHop]

Glad to pull out a 2 and 2. Looked like trouble there after the first couple games............. I think this team fights to the finish this year.
