One of my worst predictions this year was believing Kinsler would be a help offensively. I was totally WRONG. Holt could bat RH in these games and do no worse. Again, I don't blame Kinsler, I blame Cora.
Can you imagine how difficult it is to pitch in a ML ballgame and then have your manager instruct you not to let the opposing batters hit anything towards 3rd base? That's too much to ask of any pitcher. It would be easier to just acquire a real 3rd baseman.
Eovaldi's success against the Yankems was based on his high fastball that the Yankem batters were trying to hit for HR's. Based on swing angle, that favored Eovaldi. The Astros, like the SOX, are not going to be swinging for the fences, which doesn't favor Eovaldi.
This was the 1st game Price started in the P/O's where his team didn't lose. Btw, pitching 4.2 innings and giving up 4 runs isn't close to a good start, no matter how one wants to spin it.
I believe the 10th man award this year for the SOX should go to the wild pitch. I'm pretty sure the SOX must lead the league in scoring on wild pitches.
