[Maxbialystock]

Golden opportunity or once again RISP disease?

[Maxbialystock]

Duran stinks.  Story's next.  

[FredLynn]

Bases loaded, nobody out......runs?

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

Not from Duran.   So not clutch 

[Maxbialystock]

Magnificent and timely HBP by Story. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thanks ump.

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

Duran should take notes 

[Maxbialystock]

Yoshida gets a real rbi with a deep fly.  Well done.  Sorry I badmouthed him.  

[Maxbialystock]

Love the 2 runs.  Not happy with Duran.  

Sox 0/4 with RISP.  Of course.  

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

Whatever happened to the excuse me single.    Other teams seem to make it happen

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Masa been making good contact lately..

[Maxbialystock]

After 3 innings no Sox hitters have K'd.  Amazing.  

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

 Big inning for May

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anthony was born to play baseball. No way a 21 year old should be this baseball mature.

I believe that reflects more on that Astros' thrower than the Sox batters.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice DP.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice GIDP for May.  I really liked that he didn't give up a run after Story's error.

He always has made good contact. His problem, as you know, is that too much of his contact is worm killers.

Agree.  But until the 3d it kept his pitch count down.  

[CanadianRedSoxFan]

Bold prediction.  Duran strikes out looking in his next at bat….

Worm killing is usually bad contact.

[FredLynn]

Two runs is not going to win this game.

It is frustrating that the Sox only have two runs off of this bum. But this has been the case of this team's offense on the road.

Having posted that, I'm expecting 5 runs in the 5th inning.

Oh well, maybe next inning.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Only scoring 2 runs off that guy. They s/b ashamed of themselves.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3rd time thru the order:

Houston leads MLB with a .297 BA.

Sox are second at .287.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hitting hard hit balls directly at the infielder isn't as easy as the Sox make it look.

[FredLynn]

Narvaez comes through. May deserved that.
