10/15 ALCS Game 1 @ Astros

[Maxbialystock]

Over managing.

 

Well, you are certainly the expert on managing.

[d-money]

Pitching has to improve if this team wants to make it an interesting series.

This game is about to be over thanks to this bum.

[Old Red]

Well, you are certainly the expert on managing.

 

Just when you think you know the answers I change the questions.

[YastrzemskI]

How about a double play ball?

[Tedballgame]

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.

 

When they caught it, I was thinking...oh Crap!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sawamura in many ways doesn't remind me of KOJI.

Sale blows away a batter and he is taken out after 2 2/3 innings. I am sorry, but I don’t get that. Cora is overestimating the depth in the BP.

[redsoxrules]

Well that's the ballgame I would think. Need a miracle to get out of this jam especially with the top of the order up

Sawamura about to put the game out of reach.

Sawanara.

Yep. Team needs to dust itself off and take charge in game two.

[Maxbialystock]

The SOX scoring early and stopping is not unusual

 

You are right even though after the ALDS I thought we were past that. The Astros relievers have looked pretty sharp to me even though I've read here that they never actually threw any strikes.

[a700hitter]

Sawamura is very concerned with his hat staying on his head. LOL! He should be more concerned with throwing strikes.

[d-money]

There’s the game.

[d-money]

They need get some starting pitching tomorrow. Eat innings .

[redsoxrules]

This is like an all star game except without the Allstars. Every pitcher gets their turn

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX BP was disappointing, but not anymore disappointing than the SOX offense. But I believe the offense will be much better tomorrow. Not sure about the BP though.

[YastrzemskI]

Ughhh… I really hate Houston.

[d-money]

This stros team is so unlikeable. I would root for the dodgers if we lose this series .

When’s the last time the Sour man pitched?

[YastrzemskI]

The SOX BP was disappointing, but not anymore disappointing than the SOX offense. But I believe the offense will be much better tomorrow. Not sure about the BP though.

 

Let’s see if this is a two run game going into the top of the 9th. Let’s get a runner on and make them field a few.. at least make this thing interesting.

[YastrzemskI]

I don’t even think Texas like them.. Houston notwithstanding.

Sale was thankful to be pulled--don't kid yourself. He was really struggling, plus Ottavino came in and did fine. Cora used his bullpen a ton against the Rays. How did that series turn out?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You are right even though after the ALDS I thought we were past that. The Astros relievers have looked pretty sharp to me even though I've read here that they never actually threw any strikes.

 

I saw what you did there; defending s***** chUMPIRING again. Nice try, MAX, but you're not gonna sneak that slow pitch crap past me, but keep trying. I like it.

[Carter]

Ughhh… I really hate Houston.

 

Ditto! Maybe some 9th inning magic? SEEN IT BEFORE

[Maxbialystock]

Schwarber has caught several bounced throws to 1b tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

M.Perez come thru. One never knows who in the BP is going to do well, even if one is a genius manager.

[d-money]

This team needs a miracle now. One thing they need tomorrow is a good starting pitching performance.
