8/02 Astros vs Sox. 4:10 PM EST

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

El Toro!

[Jasonbay44]

Gotta score as many runs as possible with this moron pitching. Big homer by Toro

[FredLynn]

Who said Toro was done contributing?

Moon?

Sox leading 6-2 against the AL West leaders while starting the worst pitcher in the entire history of MLB.  

Time for good Sox fans to hang Breslow in effigy.  Maybe Cora too.

And could be getting leg weary but still 2 months to go.   No help in sight, unless Wong can keep getting a few hits.

They probably need to go 3 games Narvaez and 2 games Wong.

He's young, but I agree. 

Also, is anyone else worried about Crochet leading the league in IP, after being babied last year?

He's 4th in batters faced at 565.

The replay shows his eyes were closed! LOL!

(That homer is still not enough to get him over .600 since his 9 game hot streak.)

We all have, sort of.  I did say I saw no need to sign a first baseman--maybe because I have actually been to a bullfight.  

Bregman looks like crap today.  Fine with me.  Great timing.

Maybe I need to start bashing every Sox player!

Flash Gordon has that one good pitch, except when he hangs it.

I was joking. I don’t really expect much from Toro with the bat.

Trivia question:

Denver is the highest major league city in altitude. Which major league city is 2nd?

i'm gonna go with Chicago as the 2nd "highest" city. Comiskey Park to be precise.

Why don’t want to get Buehler credit for this? He’s playing with fire and sucks.

Game is far from ovah, Max.

Moronic is the wrong word.  Right now I'm thinking Houdiniesque is better.  

Agree completely on max runs.

You're darn right you should.  Get with it.

I’m kinda waiting for the luck to run out. If he can get through this inning with 1 or 0 runs I really like chances of winning this game with the way the pen is pitching 

[FredLynn]

If Boohler can make it through the 5th without giving up more runs I’d be happy

I didn’t realize our pen is best in the AL

I knew they were pitching well, especially Whitlock, Chapman and a few others, but yeah I wasn’t aware they were doing that good 

[Jasonbay44]

You would think Christian Walker was one of best hitters in baseball with what he’s doing to Buehler today. He has a -0.6 WAR coming in 

[FredLynn]

Take him out now

I did specify it was altitude, not attitude.

[FredLynn]

This is a mistake 

[d-money]

They better not blow this. 

[Jasonbay44]

Pull this sack of s*** NOW 

[FredLynn]

One batter too late. This should be Boohlers last start for the team 

[Jasonbay44]

I hope this is his last start. Buehler is absolutely terrible and isn’t getting any better

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It could have been worse. Ferris could have signed for 2 years like Kluber did.

[vegasbob]

Thought they may have caught the guy at 3rd but ball bounced away from Bregman

That was a true middle/middle meatball to Diaz.  early exit for Buehler
