    It says something about the Astros lineup that they have this year’s AL batting champ batting 7th. Tucker was top 10 and hits 6th.
  2. illinoisredsox
    You don’t throw strikes to Alvarez right now. Balls 6 inches off the plate might be too close.
  3. illinoisredsox
    Should have drilled him. It’s also late, and the Astros have killed this part of each game so far.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Sox are now 1-20 with RISP and 2 outs in the series. That’s really hard to do.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Since Big Papi talked him a few days ago, he’s cut out the huge over swing. That was not a pitch to swing at on a 0-0 count.
  6. illinoisredsox
    Devers needs to stay within himself here. A single is what’s needed. He doesn’t need to swing out if his shoes to hit a long ball.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Wanted the lefty hitter, but why not Shaw. He’s at least a threat to hit the ball hard somewhere.
  8. illinoisredsox
    Plawecki could have done that. Hell, one of the pitchers could have done that.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Somebody needs to lay down a bunt or something. Anything to get on.
  10. illinoisredsox
    He certainly should pitch to Alvarez, who leads off next inning. After that?
  11. illinoisredsox
    Hard to believe, but they grounded into 136 during the season. In contrast, the Sox only grounded into 100.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Plawecki’s the catcher tonight.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Astros have this inning right where they want it. RISP and 2 outs.
  14. illinoisredsox
    1966 World Series. The Dodgers scored single runs in each of the second and third innings of Game 1. They never scored again in the series, losing all four games by scores of 5-2, 6-0, 1-0 and 1-0. I remember it mostly because it was the first World Series I paid attention to.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Been so long it’s hard to remember.
  16. illinoisredsox
    And that 1 run was a solo homer. The 2 runs they scored in game 4 were on Bogaerts 2 run shot in the first. They haven’t scored a run on something besides a homer since the 3rd inning of game 3.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Other than the grand slam, Schwarber has been invisible this whole series.
  18. illinoisredsox
    That’s the one time you should slide into first base.
  19. illinoisredsox
    He certainly doesn’t take a lot of pitches. Regular season, he had 8 walks in 181 plate appearances. Heck, he got hit by a pitch 7 times.
  20. illinoisredsox
    That’s the impression I got. I don’t know if he looked at Renfroe, but Kike knew he was in the area.
  21. illinoisredsox
    Not an easy play, but certainly one that could have been made. We’ve seen that a lot this year.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Especially when you consider the edit I made to the OP; Houston hitting .545 in that same situation.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Sox are now 1-19 (.053) with RISP and 2 outs in the series. Astros are hitting .545 in the same situation.
  24. illinoisredsox
    Disagree on jacksonian. He's a Yankee fan, but he's been here for forever. He's also an MD, and I have found his comments on injuries and rehab time to be invaluable and extremely accurate. The last couple nights not withstanding, he does give a positive contribution to the boards. Stork on the other hand ...

    The official top is defined as “ the area over home plate from the midpoint between a batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants -- when the batter is in his stance and prepared to swing at a pitched ball” Doesn’t seem an simple thing to actually call. The bottom is defined as a point just below the kneecap. At least that is a fairly easy thing to visualize.
