10/22 ALCS Game 6 @ Astros

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Need another inning from Taylor. He's one of the very few good ones.

[Maxbialystock]

Great job by Taylor and Devers!!

[Tedballgame]

How about a hit!

[d-money]

Do something you shtiheads!!!!

[d-money]

Sox offense looking like the goats early in this game. Not in a good way.

[mvp 78]

Taylor is a keeper

[Maxbialystock]

He and Ottavino (of all people) have given up no runs in the postseason. That said, Cora has also not used either one for more than an inning.

He certainly should pitch to Alvarez, who leads off next inning. After that?

[YastrzemskI]

Guys… this is a 1-0 game and it might as well be 8-0. That’s how it feels right now. Our pitching has delivered big time so far. Nate was Nate and Josh just cleaned up.

 

Can this team string some hits together?!?!? WTF!

[illinoisredsox]

Somebody needs to lay down a bunt or something. Anything to get on.

I beleve Taylor will return; but with St Cora, who really knows?

[a700hitter]

And Dalbec’s ass is nailed to the bench.

[notin]

Santana is the guy you pinch hit for, not with…

[illinoisredsox]

Plawecki could have done that. Hell, one of the pitchers could have done that.

[Tedballgame]

Taylor will be back for sure. Ottavino will be gone. Santana is definitely gone. He sucks.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

The only guy who can pinch run for JD or Schwarber just Ked meekly and is now burned. If they were replacing Plawecki with Vazquez, then why not just pinch hit Vaz?

[Tedballgame]

10 feet to the left and that was gone. Darn it.

Wanted the lefty hitter, but why not Shaw. He’s at least a threat to hit the ball hard somewhere.

As if Santana was going to get a hit. He shouldn’t be hitting for anybody.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Pinch hitters have struck out every single time for Boston in this postseason.

[Tedballgame]

If every Sox batter tonight had went up there without a bat, they would have had 4 or 5 walks.

[Tedballgame]

Now the Sox are getting unlucky between the ball Scharber hit and now Kike just missing a HR.

[a700hitter]

Could that be the spark?

[mvp 78]

Not a Quality Start!

[YastrzemskI]

With the way we have hit tonight… Hernandez should just try to steal home. I’m not even joking.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Holy hit -- and that's it for the Salsa king?

 

Maton has no reason whatsoever to throw a hittable pitch to Devers. There's no way he won't be swinging.

[redsoxrules]

Man I'm mind blown by how managers operate in the playoffs the last few years. Garcia was dominating and the first hit he gives up they pull him

[illinoisredsox]

Devers needs to stay within himself here. A single is what’s needed. He doesn’t need to swing out if his shoes to hit a long ball.

[redsoxrules]

Ha! Devers is not going to change. He swings for the fences every AB and every swing

[Tedballgame]

Devers is missing all the fast balls tonight. Crap.
