10/15 ALCS Game 1 @ Astros

[Old Red]

Wtf, is Renfore injured?

 

A wasted AB right there.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Santana should never have given up playing guitar.

[Tedballgame]

Not looking good. Need a miracle.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Robles throws the ball hard for a bum, but he is still a bum.

 

Have you ever gotten anything at the dollar store that you expected to be of high quality?

[redsoxrules]

That's huge for arroyo to get on. That will mean the Sox will have the top of the order for their ninth at worse

[Tedballgame]

Can Shaw deliver the miracle?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not looking good. Need a miracle.

 

And 2 runs. I'll even accept 1 run.

[redsoxrules]

They seriously need to start practicing bunts. Shaw could have bunted that down 3rd base line and walked to first base

[Tedballgame]

Wow! I thought that was gone.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice attempt by Shaw.

[d-money]

Difference in this game the BP. We can’t hit their BP tonight. Smh

[d-money]

Sox offense has been shut out for 5 innings straight now .

[d-money]

This game was there for the taking and they’re gonna let it slip through their fingers.

[Jasonbay44]

I cannot logically think of a reason why .180 hitter Danny Santana would hit there. That was his first AB since early September… like Wtf

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I do believe the SOX lost the 1st game to Tampa. I also believe that the Astros are a tougher team to beat in a series.

[redsoxrules]

There you have, this game has broken a record for most pitchers used in the game and it's not even the 9th inning yet

Over managing.

Text Cora. I guarantee he will not respond.

[a700hitter]

At the beginning of Shaw’s AB, I was reminded of a LH Bob Bailey (1978). When he made contact, I was thinking Bernie Carbo.

The stros are tough but you can’t tell they have been that much better than us tonight. Also our pitchers have to do a better job. The stros are missing their best pitcher as well in this series. It feels like we might let this one slip by. This game was there for the taking.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox offense has been shut out for 5 innings straight now .

 

The SOX scoring early and stopping is not unusual

[d-money]

A walk to start the inning. Smh

[d-money]

At least give us a damn chance in the 9th.

[YastrzemskI]

Well.. game two is shaping up to be a must win.

[Maxbialystock]

Interesting box score. Sale didn't have it, but he still went 2.2 innings giving up 1 run. The guy everyone hates, Ottavino, was our only good reliever so far, going 1.1 innings with no runs and no hits. Taylor did last .2 with 0 runs, barely. Brasier got 1 out, barely. Houck the magnificent gave up 2 runs, and Robles gave up the go ahead run. Dingers in both cases.

 

Now Sawamura starts the 9th with a walk.

 

The Astros, meanwhile have used 6 relievers for 5.1 innings and given up 0 runs.

[Old Red]

The stros are tough but you can’t tell they have been that much better than us tonight. Also our pitchers have to do a better job. The stros are missing their best pitcher as well in this series.

 

When’s the last time the Sour man pitched?

[a700hitter]

Sawamura is capable of walking each of his 3 batters.

[redsoxrules]

Cora throwing the white flag. Perez warming up

[YastrzemskI]

It still is if it is a one run game in the 9th.

[YastrzemskI]

Didn’t we lose the first game vS Tampa?
