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

Nick worked that one out fortunately but guys who pitch up in the zone constantly will eventually get hit

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's impossible to continue to get 9 runs in the 1st 3 innings; even the '27 Yankems couldn't do that.

[iortiz]

We have already a lot of LOBs. Hopefully a clutch hit comes soon for us.

[YastrzemskI]

Pivetta has only allowed 2 hits thru four. Guy is battling. Love it.

[Maxbialystock]

This is one weird game. Two very good hitting teams, a bunch of so-so pitchers on both sides, 3 1/2 innings, 3 hits, 2 errors, and a 2-1 score.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

CB Bucknor on line 1.

Joe West on line 2.

 

Although West can be a good ump when he decides to be. He just doesn’t decide to be very often.

 

There's so many terrible ones, it's hard to keep track.

[illinoisredsox]

How was JD stupid about it? By questioning a terrible call? By starting to first on an obvious ball 4?

 

The worst umps also seem to have the quickest trigger. You can’t give a guy a reason to toss you. Walk away muttering if you have to, but complaining to his face is an invitation to an ejection.

[Maxbialystock]

If Pivetta is lucky, so is Javier. The Sox cannot hit his 4 seamers squarely.

[vegasbob]

CB Bucknor on line 1.

Joe West on line 2.

 

Although West can be a good ump when he decides to be. He just doesn’t decide to be very often.

 

Angel Hernandez has perpetuated the weak umpire's reign of terror by suing MLB (or his own union) for discrimination on multiple occasions , so now they cater to him and other lowballs.

[Tedballgame]

Arroyo!!!!

[Jasonbay44]

Lets go Arroyo!! Get him home!

[iortiz]

Arroyo!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I would think f'ing Smoltz would favor the SOX more. I mean the SOX gave him 6 million dollars for doing absolutely nothing.

[RedSoxNC84]

Hell of a triple by Arroyo

[Jasonbay44]

f***. Hopefully Schwarber isn’t hurt

[Tedballgame]

No no

[Maxbialystock]

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

 

Nice. You and Nick both.

[Jasonbay44]

Hopefully just a cramp

[a700hitter]

I hope this is just a cramp.

[RedSoxNC84]

Hopefully just a cramp

 

Looks like he might be okay

[Tedballgame]

I would think f'ing Smoltz would favor the SOX more. I mean the SOX gave him 6 million dollars for doing absolutely nothing.

He actually did a lot that year with Boston’s money but he was pitching for the Cardinals at the time.

[Jasonbay44]

Schwarber missed a hanger there

[Jasonbay44]

f***, Schwarber has to get the run home there

[Maxbialystock]

Schwarber hit that hard.

[a700hitter]

Schwarber hit that hard.

Still a big fail.

[Jasonbay44]

Missed opportunity there

[Tedballgame]

That hurt

[illinoisredsox]

f***, Schwarber has to get the run home there

 

Ground ball to normal shortstop would have done it.

[iortiz]

A clutch hit is missing tonight. We are missing a lot of opportunities. Hopefully our pitching steps up tonight.

[d-money]

This offense is very quiet. This is very concerning in a tight game.
