Astros (Brown) vs Red Sox (Criswell? May?): 8/1/25, 7:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

I genuinely do not know who is starting today's game. FanGraphs suggests it's a bullpen game with Criswell leading the charge. ESPN and MLB say it's TBD. I think it might be May, who is on the normal four days of rest after starting against the Red Sox last week. But he was just acquired yesterday, so maybe not? We'll see...

Criswell - Friday

Buehler - Saturday

May - Sunday

Sox have been better at Fenway. I don't see them getting their doors blown off or anything. My guess is the team rallies around the fact that none of the current 26 were traded away.

I believe both tonight's game and Sunday's game are being televised on Prime.

Can you correct the problem with them playing on Roku?

And how long before they start playing games on Tubi?

That does suck. Lucky for me that I have a Roku streamer.

Probably right before the games are on Shudder.

The ever greedy Lords of Baseball will always look for ways to extract more money from their loyal customers. It's getting to be more like pay-per-view.

At some point, they will be on a platform where I'll have to do age verification with my state and submit my driver's license. 

[mvp 78]

Abraham Toro, greatest Sox hitter of all time, batting clean up tonight. 

[mvp 78]

Emma does a decent job for the POR games. I'd listen to Emma over OB.

Stupid Apple+,

At least the Roku games are still available with the Extra Innings package.

Critical series right off the TDL with Astros and the best we can put on the mound is Cooper Criswell and not use May for several days ??  I guess it takes awhile to get the lettering on the jersey .

It will take some work to win 1 of this series.   Thanks, FO.

"Stupid Apple+". I've never seen Kimmi so angry.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bregs nice play at 3rd kept this from being 2-0.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hunter Brown's pitching stats are just as impressive as Crochet's.

I think the players are going to be pretty angry that management failed to give them the boost they needed to make a serious run in October. It’s a slap in the face and it must be pretty demoralizing. 
Flops lose at least 2 of 3 vs the Astros.

I can’t watch it either. Probably a good thing.

I agree. That's a good thing.

Duran completely overmatched by Brown.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Excellent catch by Duran.
