13/10 ALCS Game 1 vs Stros

[TylerD]

You and i know what to expect from him already. I have seen it enough already with the guy:

 

Good point.

[Jasonbay44]

So ....where are the "our BP is fine" folks. Oh yea, its fine alright....it strikes fear in the hearts of outfield walls everywhere.

 

Still one more AB tonight and a new day tomorrow. But if we play like this, we are going to end up the laughing stock of baseball with our big gaudy regular season numbers.

 

Yup, because 4.1 innings with 1 earned run against the Astros is horrible. The offense and Sale were totally dominant and the bullpen blew this game.

I don't think the Yankees will be laughing since the Sox kicked their ass.

Men against boys? Its not like Houston is doing much tonight. The Sox have given them all their runs. Sox have played horrible and its 3-2. Houston sucks.

 

They have not self destructed tonight. We did.

[redsoxrules]

We won't win with Betts not producing. I know it's small sample size but he's been garbage in his career in the playoffs so far.

[OH FOY]

He's not going now.

[Tedballgame]

Shows how bad Hembree is when they bring Workman in before him.

[Station 13]

Taz and Koji pitch 20 innings+ in 2013 playoff and allow 1R and maybe 1 walk.

 

A guy comes out this bullpen will exceed that in 6 pitches.

Nunez blew this game really.

[Jasonbay44]

The Red Sox are obviously the laughing stock of baseball guys. How dare they lose one playoff game in a best of 7! f***ing Bums!

The Yankees were never a threat to do anything. Too young...too inexperienced. Too many fans think HR's are the end all of baseball. That Yankee team could not manufacture a run if it had a Federal Government Contract to manufacture them and it had no starting pitching. Bunch of too young kids for everyday players and a bunch of old men in the rotation. Not a combination that was ever going anywhere this year.

[Jasonbay44]

Nunez blew this game really.

 

Yes, its been established Nunez sucks, but 2 runs isn't going to win many games, and Sale allowed way too many base runners via walk/HBP.

[Maxbialystock]

My God we are embarrassing ourselves. What the f*** are we doing?

 

Like I said before, we look like boys playing a game with men. They are just letting us self destruct right in front of them. Its like they are a seawall and we are just waves breaking against them....uselessly.

 

Sadly, I agree with this. Horrible, horrible hitting. Both runs off Verlander were gifts. Sale struggled, but only gave up 2 and until the 9th (when Workman gave up the dinger on a really stupid fast ball right down the middle) the bullpen had gone 4 giving up 0 earned runs. Unfortunately, Nunez has yet to master the very difficult task of actually taking the ball out of his glove without looking at it and without dropping it. Just a miserable game by the lineup.

 

A small criticism too of Cora--getting thrown out for complaining about something that in fact was not wrong and brought on by Beni's whining on the 3d strike when the entire known universe knew he deserved to K.

[redsoxrules]

Yes, its been established Nunez sucks, but 2 runs isn't going to win many games, and Sale allowed way too many base runners via walk/HBP.

 

You have to be able to win low scoring games. Your offense won't always score a lot. Betts AB was crucial and he f***ed up too

[moonslav59]

Yes, its been established Nunez sucks, but 2 runs isn't going to win many games, and Sale allowed way too many base runners via walk/HBP.

 

It might have been enough tonight as Nunez making those two plays might have kept us up 2-1.

[OH FOY]

These Pitchers kills Defenses, they take so long, and don't throw Strikes, they are always on their heels.

[d-money]

The Red Sox are obviously the laughing stock of baseball guys. How dare they lose one playoff game in a best of 7! f***ing Bums!

 

You feel confident with price going tomorrow? I felt we needed to win this one. The stros will try to put the hammer tomorrow on this team. They’re all business in the playoffs.

[Tedballgame]

Workman is so bad.

[TylerD]

This is ugly.

[redsoxrules]

My God I can't believe this game is approaching 4 hours long. Too many God damn time called and mound visits

[Tedballgame]

Workman sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hey, the SOX got thru the 1st round finally and they did it against the hated Yankems. However, Houston is a different animal. I'm pretty sure if they hadn't lost so many everyday players to injury earlier in the season, they would have led the league in wins. With spineless Price pitching tomorrow, that will probably be the last game we'll see at Fenway this year.

[a700hitter]

I guess they are willing to let Workman blow up the game.

[d-money]

This bullpen is so pathetic. They love to hand out walks.

[OH FOY]

Cole against Price tomorrow too.

[redsoxrules]

9 f***ing walks tonight.

[Jasonbay44]

It might have been enough tonight as Nunez making those two plays might have kept us up 2-1.

 

I mean, you can talk about Nunez gifting them three runs, but Astros gifted us two runs also. The runs came on a wild pitch and a walk with bases loaded. Wasn't like Sox did much of anything on offense. Overall this game has been a huge disappointment. I really can't think of many people playing good.

[TylerD]

The Red Sox are obviously the laughing stock of baseball guys. How dare they lose one playoff game in a best of 7! f***ing Bums!

 

It’s only one game. I’ll agree with that

 

If we lose this series or even worse. Get swept. We will be a joke. Best record in baseball and lose for a second straight year to Houston.

 

With that said. It’s now a blow out.

[Jasonbay44]

Great f***ing job Workman

[redsoxrules]

Why the f*** wasn't kimbrel in this game?
