Not a good at bat by Kike.
-
Nice play by the Astros--almost nailed Schwarber.
-
He was lucky to hit it--it could have been called a ball. That pitch was on a 3-1 count.
-
Not a good swing by Arroyo. That was an 88 mph four seamer right down the middle, which he should have crushed. Dusty saw it too--time for a fresh arm.
-
Sure was. Also a lousy at bat last inning when Renfroe swung at the 5th pitch.
-
Could be.
-
That's baseball for you. I'm sure the game announcers are thrilled.
-
Greinke doesn't have great stuff, but he and his catcher are in sync. Vazquez, I would argue, is not helping Pivetta one bit.
-
This is why I don't like Vazquez--but also don't mind giving him credit when he calls a good game. In the top of the first he calls for 9 fastballs in 11 pitches, resulting in one very hard hit out and one hard hit dinger. In the top of the second with two on and two out and a weak hitter at the plate, he calls for two knuckle curves, both balls, one a wild pitch, before he finally, finally calls for fast balls.
-
Another knuckle curve, another ball, but no WP.
-
Why oh why did Vazquez call for a knuckle curve against a weak hitter with 2 on and 2 out?
-
13/24 strikes. Not exactly good Pivetta.
-
Better.
-
d-money is on his time machine again, going back into the past. He just can't let go of the NLDS.
-
Good K on Tucker, good call by Vazquez.
-
Frankly, I will be delighted if he takes pitches that are balls. Good eye on ball 3! He shoulda taken that 5th pitch.
-
I did panic, but on another thread.
-
Three straight fastballs, the third one right down the middle. Vazquez at fault too.
-
Astros error-prone. Gotta sympathize because the air temp is a bone-chilling 59 degrees.
-
Sox up 2-1 thanks to our good-fielding SS who now and then gets a timely hit.
-
Astros are error-prone. Must be the bone-chilling air temp of 59 degrees.
-
All right!! Interestingly, it was Greinke's first slider, and it was a little up in the zone and in the middle. 2-1 Sox, courtesy of our solid-fielding SS who gets a hit now and then.
-
Greinke throwing fastballs, 4 seamers, slow ones, right down the middle to Schwarber and Kike--and getting them out easily.
-
Three straight fastballs, the third one right down the middle. What did you expect, Pivetta? For that matter, Pivetta has thrown all fastballs in the 1st inning--until the slider for the pop fly to RF. So Vazquez gets some share of the blame. A stupid start to the game. Correction. Pivetta threw 9 fastballs and 2 sliders in the 1st.

Go, Sox!!!
