13/10 ALCS Game 1 vs Stros

[Jasonbay44]

One thing that is a huge issue is the f***ing walks. You cant give teams in the playoffs free base runners every inning. Also, unless its in extra innings and were almost out of pitchers, there is no way guys like Workman and Hembree should ever see the field in one run games. They're middle relief guys.

[OH FOY]

Get this inning over with already.

[Tedballgame]

Workman needs to come down with an injury so he can be replaced by a major league pitcher.

[OH FOY]

Here's how I would go to Pitching mound, if I was a Pitching Coach, give them a kick in the ass and say throw strikes.

[redsoxrules]

This was a very winnable game. To lose like this will sting

[StephenCurry30]

why the f*** is heath hembree on the playoff roster

[d-money]

Even if Astro’s didn’t get this last homerun. We just looked dead flat offensively. No way we could have won this game tonight even if Sale went 6 scoreless innings.

 

I am just sick of losing to this team. Again I mentioned nothing’s a guaranteed for next season.

[redsoxrules]

I know Cora got kicked out of the game and all but I'm guarantee he's the one making the moves from where he is and to not have kimbrel pitched the 9th is a joke

[StephenCurry30]

its pretty sad that the only reason dumb f*** hembree gets out of the inning is a caught stealing after he walks the red sox 10th man of the night, and then a line drive out. nice job doofus

[OH FOY]

This was a very winnable game. To lose like this will sting

 

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonslav59]

We have to get to Cole early and often tomorrow.

I have defended Dombrowski all year but having guys like Workman and Hembree on the ALCS roster is a joke. They are horrible. Its like having a 10 man staff. The Sox have to get a bullpen next year.

[StephenCurry30]

cora definitely made the move, he's out of the game, but I guarantee he is still communicating to the team.

Yep. It’s one thing they avoided against the Yankees, especially in NY. Absolutely awful tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

Actually, I shouldn't complain. I'm only watching on TV--for free--and can change channels any time I want. But what about the loyal fans who paid top dollar to come to this ALCS game? They're watching Sox fold like a cheap tent and doing it in one the 3 or 4 worst ball parks in MLB (and by that I mean sightlines).

 

I know the Astros have good pitching. The whole world knows. But 2 bare singles by the highest scoring team in MLB this years? If Verlander hadn't had that inexplicable cold spell, the Sox would be shut out with the 9th coming up.

[Station 13]

This pen is an asswipe. Throw strikes you overpaid bums

[StephenCurry30]

I hate losing games like this man, it hurts your balls.

Agreed. Reminds me of the NBA last year. Houston Rockets has the best season record but everyone knew Golden State was still going to beat them. That’s like this series. We have the better record but I would be very surprised if many picked us to win this series. I just hope we can make it close.

Anything can happen no matter how slim the odds of that happening are.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm usually not big on judging bullpen moves, especially because most of Cora's moves have worked, but going to Workman there was just mind boggling. I'd maybe understand if it was a game in May, but in the playoffs? Every run matters and you don't want to have the middle tier guys losing the game while your best pitcher is sitting in bullpen.

[OH FOY]

14 runners without a benefit of a hit. WOW!!

[TylerD]

Nice hit. Show a little fight.

[StephenCurry30]

I mean the warriors also had multiple injuries during the regular season and rested guys and didn't care about the regular season AT ALL. and the playoff formats in both sports are completely different.. and even as a warriors fan, to be fair, if chris paul didn't get hurt badly, the rockets might've won that series.

[OH FOY]

We have to get to Cole early and often tomorrow.

 

We have to win tomorrow. Don't matter, how you do it, you just do it.

[Tedballgame]

Workman with a sterling E.R.A. of 108. Fantastic Brandon. You Suck.

[jacksonianmarch]

The story tonight isn’t the outcome. If someone told you before the game that Verlander would beat Sale, I’d think most people would say, so what? The most important thing from tonight was Sale looked bad from the start. No location, no velocity, nothing. If you’re to advance, he needs to be on point in game 5. Suddenly, David Price’s start tomorrow becomes almost a must win.

[illinoisredsox]

Hitters look like they have never seen a breaking ball in their lives.

[StephenCurry30]

sale also easily could've still given up 0 runs if Eduardo nunez wasn't mentally retarded

[d-money]

Cora should pitch eovaldi tomorrow and not f***ing price with the season on the line. We will see if this team has any fight.

[TylerD]

Good point. But Houston astros also had injuries this year too or I guarantee they might have hit 110 wins.
