10/15 ALCS Game 1 @ Astros

[Tedballgame]

Ok, only one run. Lets go Sox!!!!

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

89 pitches

[d-money]

Crappy inning on both sides.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could have been much worse. The 29 pitch count doesn't bode well for a long start.

[YastrzemskI]

30 pitches 1 inning

[d-money]

Ok, only one run. Lets go Sox!!!!

 

Gonna have to find those bats .

[vegasbob]

i don't see the Astros chasing. Nothing new with Sale and we are familiar with the situation of being down after 1

[Maxbialystock]

The amazing thing so far is that the Astros haven't pounded him.

 

Finally, pitch 28, his first changeup, a ball.

 

29 pitches to get 3 outs. This is October Sale when we need September Sale.

[d-money]

Gonna have to find a way and hit Valdez. They already let him off the hook in the first inning:

[YastrzemskI]

It’s incredible that it is only 1-0 after THAT!

The guy’s not trustworthy period. He’s another David Price basically although didn’t price get the monkey off his back in the end.

We need 2017 Sale.

That GIDP by Schwarber hurt a lot. Plus Renfroe was too eager to swing.

[vegasbob]

Get the run back, hitters be patient-- Valdez may be a little wild, reset by post season Sale

[Maxbialystock]

We need 2017 Sale.

 

2017 is ancient history. September 2021 Sale is the best we can hope for.

[vegasbob]

We need 2017 Sale.

 

That ship Sale-d a couple years ago

[Tedballgame]

Dugo is so good when he goes the other way. Its wide open with that shift.

[Maxbialystock]

Devers and Verdugo both single going to LF.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

THAT'S a great hit. THAT beat the shift. THAT'S what Joe Buck said.

[Tedballgame]

Valdez is wild. Sox need to be patient.

[vegasbob]

Nice move by Dugo, choked up and went against the shift,

[Tedballgame]

Send the runner.

[Tedballgame]

That is why you send the runner!

[Tedballgame]

Could have avoided the DP.

[vegasbob]

2 innings, 2 leadoff hits, 2 DP's

[Tedballgame]

That's dumb managing.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

The kings of erasing the leadoff man reaching base.

[YastrzemskI]

Two innings two double plays. Wow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX in the PO's have mastered two art forms; lead-off base hits and hitting into DP's.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Hit a hanger into the Crawford Boxes.
