9/8 vs Houston

[Maxbialystock]

With Sandy Leon catching, ERod pitches like an ace. With Vazquez catching, he looks like a scared rookie and is getting hit like one.

[romoboy]

How about a 3 or 4 spot now? Enough with these 1 run here and 1 run there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In regards to E-rod, Eck said it best "this isn't the White Sox."

[Tedballgame]

Plenty of game left. Houston is a really good team. They are defending champs for a reason. The Red Sox are still the best team in baseball.

[jung]

Well done Mookie. Betts knew he was going up there and was ready for it.

 

Really kind of a mistake by Morton though. Up 0-2 in the count should at least have tried to waste one even farther outside and see if he could get Mookie to chase.

[Tedballgame]

That's a good start to the inning.

[Tedballgame]

Benny has to pull the ball there.

[romoboy]

c'mon JD

[Maxbialystock]

Fast ball down the middle and Beni hits a can of corn to CF.

[jung]

Yea Eck Astros have guys that can punch guys out and they have a pen that can rescue them when they are gassed.

[jung]

Geezus ....that thing breaks a foot

[Tedballgame]

Mitch needs to hit one off the monster.

[Tedballgame]

Sox leaving a lot of guys on base Not a recipe to winning.

[romoboy]

PLEASE put Pearce in the lineup. I don't care if it's righty/righty.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A.O. Moreland. Last time Mitch had a hit, Lincoln was watching a play at the Ford theatre.

[Maxbialystock]

Moreland has a single in his last 24 at bats, including that miserable K with 2 on.

[romoboy]

Mitch More-left on base.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora pizzes me off. I feel better now.

[Tedballgame]

Get him out of there!

[Tedballgame]

Time to switch to college football.

[Maxbialystock]

Two sliders to a righty batter--one for a dinger--and no changeup.

[jung]

Everything they hit is clanked.

[Maxbialystock]

Get him out of there!

 

Perhaps. But I believe you also think the bullpen is worthless.

[romoboy]

Get him out of there!

And which meatball reliever comes in?

[RichGarces2015]

bring my boy pomz in the game to shut these dudes down.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX beat up on the s*** teams better than any other team in baseball, including the Astros.

[Maxbialystock]

ERod only has 77 pitches, and has given up just 4 runs. Plus I honestly don't think our guys will come back anyway, not after that miserable bottom of the 3d when we get a leadoff double and the 2-5 batters can't bring him home.

 

But I think at this point it does make sense because I honestly think ERod is frustrated and losing confidence with every pitch. And I honestly believe that some of that is on Vazquez.

[bmattioli]

Wow he finally got out of bed. You are not playing some chump team where you can put it on cruise control. Where is Farrell??

[d-money]

What a miserable series. Stros reminding them they don’t care how many wins they have. We are the world champs.

[jung]

Our guys are afraid to throw strikes now. Thats encouraging.
