10/19 Astros @ SOX ALCS GAME 4 8:08PM

[RedSoxNC84]

OK!!! Need 3 more outs from Ottavino, then 6 from Whitlock.

 

But wouldn't it be nice if the Sox hitters would suddenly show up?

 

Just noticed you're in Greensboro, NC. That's where I'm at too!

[Jasonbay44]

Some insurance runs would be huge here

[Maxbialystock]

90 mph 4 seamer right down the middle and Renfroe misses it. Then another in the same place and he fouls it off.

[Jasonbay44]

Whitlock is warming up. Eovaldi and Houck are both sitting in the pen also. Whitlock for 2 and one of them closes?

[jacksonianmarch]

Houston is in a slump. Pivetta was good, but he kept the ball up in the zone and the power hitters couldn't avoid the weak popups. It is absolutely telling that the sox pitchers are dominating with the fastball. A great hitting team should hit fastballs well, but not this Astros team this post season. Very strange indeed

[Jasonbay44]

Nice walk Renfroe

[Tedballgame]

Good start

[vegasbob]

A triple, a double, and a lead off walk = stranded runners ???

[jacksonianmarch]

Phil Maton is the Houston savior? How is that guy even sniffing this game?

Baker has made some questionable decisions this series to say the least

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. Your guess is as good as mine. Eovaldi pitched game 2 and can start game 6, so an inning tonight is doable. Houck is the best choice to start tomorrow or to relieve Sale if he starts.

Baker has dementia

[jacksonianmarch]

This has the makings of a very big inning

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Baker has dementia

 

The Yankems picked up Joey Gallo. I'm thinking Cashman has dementia.

Cashman actually doesn't exist. It's a well designed puppet with Hal's voice and Levine doing the puppeteering

[vegasbob]

Vazquez had a useless AB after the walk and Arroyo has trouble catching up to the FB. Not a big inning yet

Moved here last year after 20 years in Fairfax County and before that 60 years of moving around.

Who is warming in the pen?

Who is warming in the pen?

 

Whitlock

[jacksonianmarch]

How does Laz Diaz catch a home plate assignment in the ALCS? That guy is absolutely awful

[vegasbob]

Whitlock for the 7th with the 6th, 7th, 8th hitters due up ?? Just wondering

[d-money]

This offense is failing them tonight.

[Jasonbay44]

Whitlock in

[d-money]

Already going with whitlock? Very surprised.

I’m assuming Cora wants him for the 7th and 8th.

I don’t get how the guys considered the absolute worst umpires always end up in playoff games

[d-money]

This offense has been garbage tonight and this stros pen has been overused.

[iortiz]

I guess Whitlock goes two and Eovaldi closes this one. Interesting.

[vegasbob]

This offense is failing them tonight.

 

The discipline and hitting mistakes are definitely off the menu tonight compared to the prior two games. Reminder we lost Game 1 in a one runner. It can happen

[Jasonbay44]

Based on the fact Eovaldi is sitting in the pen. I believe the plan is Whitlock for 2, Nate for 1.
