What a play by Gonzalez to save a run 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fine D by Romy. Saved a run.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great at bat by The Ref.

Checking in 8:45 to watch the sweep in Fenway.  

I sense some provocative, irritating posts coming today.

Fred Lynn needs an accomplice 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

File that under great defensive plays.

[vegasbob]

Bergman is a serious player both ways.  Devers would have made that play look easy.  Just let the ball roll into LF for a double

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

With Valdez and Brown the Astros have 2 Aces, which will give them a big advantage come PO time.

Maybe someday soon the Sox will be so lucky to have 2.

[vegasbob]

So Gio has a 7.94 Era in the first inning, then tightens up. 

Just further evidence that for some reason, Sox pitchers are nit ready for the game to start.  But I have watched the full pregame routine and it is extensive.

Probably a mental thing

Houck and Crawford.

[vegasbob]

Has anyone heard the nature of Crawfords accident that wrecked his wrist ?  Did Sale give Kutter a bicycle ?

[vegasbob]

Correa makes a blind stab to blunt a potential big inning. Abreu seals it with a GIDP

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I wonder if Wong gave a big sigh of relief?

[Brock Beauchamp]

We crossed wires on game threads this morning, thanks for getting this up @SPLENDIDSPLINTER.

Speed kills and so does hitting into DP's.

No problem.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Note to both teams. Don't hit the ball towards 3rd base.

[StephenCurry30]

Framber Valdez has some cool hair 

[StephenCurry30]

side note: I saw that some chick named Olivia Rodrigo set the record for most people in attendance at a musical festival with 115k. It makes me sad that this generational doesn’t like korn. Korn had 5k she had 115k? How does that make sense. Younger generational don’t respect legends like korn

[vegasbob]

Just can't throw pitches like that to experienced hitters

[Jasonbay44]

Offense needs to get going. I know Valdez is good but they gotta step up

Olivia Rodrigo is good. She’s definitely better than Korn lol

Worst case is Sox take 2 of 3. Not bad considering they faced Houston's two best pitchers.

Especially considering they started Criswell and Buehler two games.

Very good point 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

We're gonna enjoy Anthony for a long time.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story continues to Impress.

[Jasonbay44]

Story has come up really clutch all season long 

[Jasonbay44]

Rafaela! Too bad he sucks and can’t hit!
