10/15 ALCS Game 1 @ Astros

[YastrzemskI]

What are the conferencing for? Renfroe is their easy out.

 

Come again?

[Tedballgame]

What are the conferencing for? Renfroe is their easy out.

 

Say what?

[Maxbialystock]

Renfroe comes thru bigtime! Again on that big curve, just like Kike did.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Astros' ball guy still cheating, throwing a stool at Renfroe's rope.

[Tedballgame]

I'd rather he swing.

[Maxbialystock]

Say what?

 

He was last time, but this time he got the ever popular hanging curve.

[Tedballgame]

I'd rather he swing.

 

Maybe not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dugo gets hit and Cora decides no review. Head scratcher.

[iortiz]

Dugo gets hit and Cora decides no review. Head scratcher.

 

In all fairness it was not that clear

[redsoxrules]

Dugo gets hit and Cora decides no review. Head scratcher.

 

No way that was getting overturned. I don't believe he got hit on that

[RedSoxNC84]

Already in the pen. Keep it up

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Yimi a cookie

[Tedballgame]

Good inning but one more hit would have been nice.

[Tedballgame]

Get the bullpen hot.

[Maxbialystock]

Three runs despite two really awful K's by Verdugo and Arroyo.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The more I see of Arroyo the more I miss Iggy. Hopefully, Arroyo will make me change my mind in the not too distant future.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Three runs despite two really awful K's by Verdugo and Arroyo.

 

In their pregame meeting, Astros' advance scouts advised their pitchers to let Boston get a runner on third with less than two outs.

[Maxbialystock]

This is a seven games series, so I think Cora is hoping Sale can give him at least one more inning without letting the Astros back in the game.

[d-money]

They need a shutdown inning here badly.

I would be quick with the hook.

[Maxbialystock]

You're crazy if you don't miss Iggy. He was terrific in the few games he played. A real shot in the arm.

[d-money]

Need a 1-2-3 badly here.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Sale will leave it all there in the third. He's only at around 50 pitches, so can give another 40 this inning.

[d-money]

Need to get these outs here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Chris is doing a perfect imitation of E-Rod so far.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Yor so dan, you probably think this inning's about you.

[redsoxrules]

f***ing shift.

[Maxbialystock]

It could be his control tonight, or it could be Sale doesn't want to challenge the Astros hitters. He is throwing one heckuva lot of fastballs.

 

The radical shift worked perfectly--for Alvarez.

 

Come to think of it, it also worked well for Arozarena when he stole home. Devers couldn't even see 3b from where he was positioned.

[d-money]

Already a runner on base. Geez

That’s what astros love. The fastball. If it’s lousy location better .
