In Which the Red Sox Beat the Astros

[strek1]

Please score early and often. Put the pressure on the other team for a change.

This qualifies!! Good start.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The scuffling Trevor Story is scuffling.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Casasining is something to behold

 

[Archer1979]

Why is Duvall still on third?

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Cool Story, bro. Seriously, fuck off.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Rats. That was a little too station to station. But still good to get on the board.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It would be great to get Javier out by the fifth (with six or so runs on the board) to setup the rest of the series. 26 pitches thru one.

 

[patinorange]

Story: 25 strikeouts in 68 PA. four walks.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That was really not a good pitch.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That's why Febles should have sent Duvall.

 

[InsideTheParker]

I blame the ump for that homer. Sale was not getting legit called strikes on pitches not in the middle of the zone.

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Shut down inning. Sale is so fucking bad at being able to repeat his release point. Can't consistently execute shit.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Those Oxy patches should be larger.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Great job, Dugie!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Alex "Dugie" Verdugo can flat pick it.

 

[LogansDad]

GIVE THAT MAN A GOLD GLOVE

 

[S. H. Frog]

Sweet catch by Verdugo there

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Story: 25 strikeouts in 68 PA. four walks.

20 k’s in 49 PA vs RH.

 

[The Filthy One]

That's a no joke play. Great, great catch.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

That was close to the storm drain cover.

 

[mr_smith02]

Dugie! I hope he stays in Boston.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Verdugo is an oasis in a desert of defensive suckitude.

 

[dhappy42]

I doubt they will, but I hope the Sox extend Dougie. He’s fun to watch.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Ty Cobb Maldonado up in a big spot.

 

[LogansDad]

Fuck, this is not the Sale we need.

 

[The Filthy One]

What was Masa doing there? Hoping to catch it at the base of the wall?

 

[strek1]

The Sale we got from Chicago years ago doesn't exist anymore. We just have this empty vessel.

 

[Blizzard of 1978]

One more year of Sale and 30 million dollar contract. Astros whacking him.

 

[BaseballJones]

Is it really possible that Chris Sale, with a 97 mph fastball, a nasty slider, and a surprisingly decent changeup….. actually just isn’t very good anymore?

 

[osori]

Sale has nothing.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Handling Maldonado is candy for Sale.

 

[LogansDad]

I think the Astros are pretty good, to be fair.

I guess he’s “only” throwing 94-95 tonight but still…..

Yes.

Those Oxy patches should be larger.

The Sacklers musta not thought it'd be cost effective to go up a size.

 

[strek1]

Yeah but if Sale were still Sale even they wouldn't get to him this early.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Handling Maldonado is candy for Sale.

Boo

 

[LogansDad]

10 K's through 4 for Olsen, but it doesn't matter because he has thrown 8 bajillion pitches.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Sale release point in 2017 and 2018. 2023

 

[LogansDad]

Bregman is so fucking good.

That wall ball double btw had an .050 xBA. Fenway special.

Do the call that the Carmen Miranda Zone?

 

[S. H. Frog]

Nice pick and throw at short... too bad about the play at first

 

[patinorange]

Houston is giving the boys some bases.

 

[mauidano]

Bregman is so fucking good.

I was stunned that he doesn’t have a Gold Glove.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Key so far against Javier is to get men on. He's like a completely different pitcher with runners on.

You mean, he's better when he doesn't allow any base runners?

 

[LesterFan]

Devers' swing looks awful
