9/07 vs Houston

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

G. Cole 13-5 2.86 vs D. Price 14-6 3.60

 

 

Cole has some awesome stats this year, but he's RH. SOX have done very well vs RH's so far this year.

[Slasher9]

EFF Texas (sorry moon).

Win.

[OH FOY]

Kick ass tonight, if we get it in David.

[Thunder]

One day I want to live in Houston. Of course, I'll still root for the Red Sox. Win. Dance. Repeat. x4

Betts RF

Beni LF

JD Martinez DH

Bogey SS

Moreland 1B

Kinsler 2B

Nunez 3B

Leon C

JBJ CF

 

If this series is a precursor to the playoffs, the absence of Devers (against a righty starter) is suggestive--assuming he is healthy, of course. 4 lefty bats in this lineup, which just might be our best defensive lineup while retaining an ability to score runs.

I'm going to watch the game on Astros TV tonight.

 

I'm wondering what their commentary about the Sox will be. I'll be fixin' ta keep y'all posted.

[d-money]

Big series for this team. I wanna see how they match up.

[Maxbialystock]

Great first out and teamwork between Mookie and Kinsler. An in-betweener that did not lead to a collision and did lead to a catch.

[Station 13]

Altuve looks like a midgit.

My impression of downtown Houston in the summertime is that very few people use the sidewalks. Kind of like Montreal in the dead of winter.

[S5Dewey]

Didn't someone recently ask how long it has been since Mookie got a hit in the first inning? :-)

[Maxbialystock]

My goodness Betts was quick: 1st to 3d on a hard hit single to left against a pretty good arm (Reddick).

[BOSOX11]

Nice way to start the game.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

64-11 when the SOX score the 1st run of the game. Which means that they're 33-33 when they don't.

[d-money]

Price just needs to pump strikes after strikes.

[d-money]

Come on price.

[Station 13]

Nora on the 10 DL after that.

Do yourself a favor and pick someplace above sea level because they are not going to solve the problem they have in Houston.

[Station 13]

Betts pull that weakly enough to get an infield hit. He needs to stop pulling outside pitches. The Strikeone he is not swinging at is down the middle.

[d-money]

Can’t get more runs off cole. Gonna need price to pitch a gem.

[TylerD]

Price looking right today!!!!

 

Sorry. That was cheesy:(

[d-money]

Price has to keep pitching well.

I believe Houston is now more smoggy than LA. Been there many times...no way in hell I would live there.

Edit....just looked it up. Houston is not that bad as far as smog goes....#11 in the US. But it still is horrible there.

Nice to have two aces on the team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-man X-its the ball.

They had decades to do the right thing with regard to the water table and they chose the corrupt thing. Don't see them doing it any better the second time around.

What a second half by X. What a season.

[d-money]

These stros pitchers hardly give up the big inning. Basically have to match them in the pitching department.

[Station 13]

Moreland has 1 hit since that series down in Tampa last month.

No reason not to use SWI at 1st against RH.
