10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros

[d-money]

This team needs a lead. They need to wake the f*** up soon.

[Maxbialystock]

Bogey knowing he's gonna get a fastball down the middle on the 1st pitch and still not swinging is completely moronic.

 

I'm not sure about moronic, but it definitely is a gift to the pitcher.

[Tedballgame]

I hate that cheating Bregman.

[Tedballgame]

Don't pitch Alvarez away.

[Tedballgame]

Not the start we needed.

[Tedballgame]

E-8. Should have been caught.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The best defensive player on the SOX f's up. Not a good sign.

[d-money]

Just like that!!!! After two outs smh.

[d-money]

Stros are going for the knockout blow.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Brutal pitch, brutal play, brutal start.

[Tedballgame]

Kike was 1-2 that inning.

[illinoisredsox]

E-8. Should have been caught.

 

Not an easy play, but certainly one that could have been made. We’ve seen that a lot this year.

[d-money]

They better find that f***ing offense.

[Tedballgame]

He must have looked at Renfroe and took his eye off of the ball.

[d-money]

How many scoreless innings now? I mean they score a run last game but beforehand they didn’t score for like 6 innings i believe .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm not sure about moronic, but it definitely is a gift to the pitcher.

 

No, it's definitely moronic.

[vegasbob]

That was a long run to get to the ball but once there, no excuse, especially now with two outs. Meanwhile some needs to figure out Alvarez and then execute the pitch

[illinoisredsox]

He must have looked at Renfroe and took his eye off of the ball.

 

That’s the impression I got. I don’t know if he looked at Renfroe, but Kike knew he was in the area.

[mvp 78]

Not the 1st inning I was hoping for.

[Tedballgame]

MLB scorers are a joke. To call that a double is nonsense. The ball hit him on the wrist. He didn't have to jump. That was an error. No wonder guys hit for high average. Home town scoring. Ridiculous.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

That was a long run to get to the ball but once there, no excuse, especially now with two outs. Meanwhile some needs to figure out Alvarez and then execute the pitch

 

In Cora's interview he said there were a few players they weren't going to let beat them today. I assumed Alvarez was at the top of that list.

[Maxbialystock]

No, it's definitely moronic.

 

The statistical evidence disagrees with you. Bogey is tied for the team lead in BB's and is 7th in K's. He is 10 for 26 when swinging on first pitches.

[vegasbob]

Maybe Kike should wear the glove a bit more instead of having it out on his fingertips with exposed palm.

[Maxbialystock]

Ominous start to the game. Not the tough luck on that double Kike dropped, but how hard the Astros hit Eovaldi and not how hard the Sox hit Garcia, who is throwing a lot of fastballs successfully.

[vegasbob]

Garcia , like many opposing players , is irritating to watch his rocking prepitch motion. More irritating to see JD having trouble catching up to FBs

[Maxbialystock]

Astros seem to see Eovaldi's pitches a whole lot better than our guys are seeing Garcia's.

 

Arroyo swung at at least 3 pitches out of the zone, including the last one.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Should be 3-0. Focus.

[Tedballgame]

Arroyo just swung at ball 3 and ball 4. Geeeez.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Ball f***ing FIVE Arroyo. Garcia did not throw one pitch over the plate to him. If they're pressing this early, it will get late soon.

[Maxbialystock]

Perfect timing. No way can Renfroe hit into a double play here.
