World Series Game 2: New Land Speed Record?

[Rovin Romine]

I have nothing against Verlander, but the networks love to kiss his ass. And interview him during the game on his off days. And it bugs me.
So I'm sort of happy about the HR.

The Sox have been a disproportionate reason for a lot of KUT (Kate Upton's Tears).

 

[Al Zarilla]

Red Sox have a top bullpen too, on paper, but I’d be scared shitless pulling an effective SP after 4 and having to trot out four or five different relievers to win a game.

Officially, we are watching the World Series presented by YouTube TV.

I know Seager loves swinging at the first pitch, but I think they have to send Taylor here.

 

[jon abbey]

Pushing Verlander's pitch count a bit, maybe he will only go 8 instead of 9.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

All of Taylor's at bats are great.

 

[Al Zarilla]

They said pregame this ump called a small zone. That was wrong.

Edit: brutal- one second after I posted this

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Holy crap!

 

[LogansDad]

Oh. Shit.

 

[The Filthy One]

Oppo taco. Wow

 

[VORP Speed]

Huge

 

[canderson]

Verlander 0-World Series

 

[jon abbey]

Wow.

 

[glasspusher]

Epic

 

[Al Zarilla]

Goddam like last night, a lot.

 

[LogansDad]

I honestly don't understand how he hit that ball that far.

 

[semsox]

Just a pop fly to left. Insane

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Wonder if that affects the decision to use Stripling next inning.

 

[glasspusher]

I honestly don't understand how he hit that ball that far.

No kidding. End of the bat, oppo field...

 

[Rovin Romine]

Fox isn't giving any reason.

Edit: "Dodger starters faced the lineup 3 times the least number of times in baseball"

Not going so well for Verlander.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

And just like last night, the 2 run homer after a great AB by Taylor ends with a 2 out walk.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Astros are in trouble.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

No kidding. End of the bat, oppo field...

He knew it immediately.

 

[glasspusher]

Dodgers, 3 runs on two hits. Getting it done.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Stripling. Roberts and Honeycutt may not be so smart.

 

[patinorange]

Dave Roberts is good.

 

[VORP Speed]

Roberts is fucking great

 

[VORP Speed]

4 pitch walk? HOOK.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Stripling only faced that batter because there wasn't time for someone else to warm up once they got the lead.

 

[AimingForYoko]

These games are playing out as I thought they would and I'm kind of bummed because I wanted excitement and drama.

Help me out here, Astors. Or Dodgers pen, whichever works.

I dunno, this game seems pretty dramatic thus far

 

[glasspusher]

I find myself rooting against Reddick

 

[brandonchristensen]

Was expecting a weak fly there. Wow.

 

[glasspusher]

Roberts is a genius again

 

[VORP Speed]

Smoooooth

 

[The Filthy One]

The Dodgers pen is nails.

 

[AB in DC]

These games are playing out as I thought they would and I'm kind of bummed because I wanted excitement and drama.

Help me out here, Astors. Or Dodgers pen, whichever works.

I just want a free taco.

 

[AimingForYoko]

Why is Reddick still allowed to bat?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Reddick has lost a step or two.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gattis looks more like a big moonshiner than a white bear.

 

[AB in DC]

Plays like that make me appreciate Mitch Moreland a little more.

 

[glasspusher]

big shut down inning

 

[jon abbey]

28 straight scoreless innings for the Dodgers bullpen.

 

[LogansDad]

Houston needs to get something going or this is going to be a short series.

Brandon Morrows 8 BB Game vs Red Sox

[SoxFanInCali]

Last team to win a World Series game with only 2 hits: the 1963 Dodgers.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Plays like that make me appreciate Mitch Moreland a little more.

Adrian G. would have smoothed it no problem.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Brandon Fucking Morrow. Wasn't even good enough to get out of the Padres minor leagues until the end of last year.

 

[Stanley Steamer]

These games are playing out as I thought they would and I'm kind of bummed because I wanted excitement and drama.

Help me out here, Astors. Or Dodgers pen, whichever works.

I know what you mean. Thus far, the only thing approaching a rally this series has been the Astros 1-run 3rd.
