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

[d-money]

Not good. This will be a tight game which means Pivetta has to give us some innings.

[Maxbialystock]

Big missed opportunity with 2 on, 1 out, and Renfroe and Devers coming to bat--in a very close game yet.

[d-money]

Pivetta needs an easy inning.

[illinoisredsox]

Kike is in a slump.

 

Not a good at bat by Kike.

 

He’s going to cool off at some point. No one can keep up the pace he’s been on.

 

Just need someone else (or better , a couple of people) to pick up some of the slack.

Can’t blow opportunities like that especially against this team.

I was joking.

[d-money]

Pivetta has to throw strikes. His command has been f***ing terrible.

[Maxbialystock]

Pivetta needs to mix his pitches and throw strikes--preferably not right down the middle--to be effective.

 

He sort of did that against the top of the Astros order in the 3d inning--three quick outs--but he did throw some fat pitches that were just not hit solid, thank goodness.

[illinoisredsox]

I was joking.

 

I know.

[Jasonbay44]

Looks like he threw some very hittable pitches there… but no harm and 1-2-3

[Nick]

Pivetta has thrown only 37 pitches in 3 innings.....chill out dudes....

He did.

Agree those are good numbers. And I love just the 1 Astro run. But I also think Pivetta's been lucky.

 

As for "chill out," does someone need to explain to you the derivation of the word "fan?" You think the gang at Fenway for the ALCS is there to "chill out?"

[vegasbob]

Braves choke on the chicken wings and go down 6-5, letting LA back into the NLCS

[Maxbialystock]

Sox are hitting grounders off of 4 seam fastballs.

Just as you use hyperbole from time to time, so do I.....

Looks pretty chilly from all the coats and caps, the fanatics are cold

[Jasonbay44]

Verdugo has had a lot of good AB this series

[vegasbob]

5 walks in 2 1/3rd innings, Sox need to take full advantage right now

[Maxbialystock]

This reminds me of game 3 of the ALDS, which came after the Sox scored 14 runs. Last night's hot bats seem to have cooled. Astros pitchers are good, but they aren't throwing great stuff in this game.

[Maxbialystock]

Very good point.

[Maxbialystock]

Horrible, horrible swing by JDM. Lucky he fouled off that next pitch.

[Tedballgame]

Send him

[Maxbialystock]

So far the Sox have 1 hit and 1 error in this game. And 2 runs!!!

[Tedballgame]

What a horrible call.

[Jasonbay44]

How the f*** is that a strike?

[vegasbob]

Laz Diaz strikes again messing up a good game

[Tedballgame]

Changes the whole inning.

[Maxbialystock]

Not a good call by the ump, but JDM was just stupid about it. Good thing Cora saved his ass.

[a700hitter]

Just an awful call
