ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Good pitching beats good hitting. And the Astros have it.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Tonight is definitely not the last time Bregman gets plunked this series.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Vazquez aināt the best pitch framer.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Put in fucking Devers. At least *he* can hit.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Wow. Whenās the last time a manager gets tossed in the postseason?
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Swing the bat, Benny. Still... Iāll take it. Letās hope Good Joe Kelly keeps showing up.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Kelly looked great there... but I still wouldāve gone with Sale for one more inning.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Well, itās nice for Sale to finally show up tonight.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Sandy Leon aināt getting a hit this whole fucking series.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Fuck. Devers probably wouldnāt have done any better. But that Springer guy is good.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
This Fenway crowd looks like theyāre on Xanax. 3-2, two outs, and everyone is sitting down.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Interesting stat regarding that DP in the 1st: Verlander got GIDPs on 2.7% of all such opportunities (i.e., with a runner on first) during the regular season, the lowest conversion rate in all of MLB (min. 3 opportunities).
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Fuckin Pearce. Moreland needs to get healthy ASAP.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
And yet... he still has a postseason ERA nearly a whole run lower than Severino.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Game 3 4:00 Game 4 7:30 Game 5 7:00
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
(Verlander & Cole for the Astros in Games 1 & 2, respectively.)
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
As expected, the Sox are going with Sale in Game 1, and *gulp* David Price in Game 2.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
Do it. You can probably find a better deal on a hotel.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
I'll give the Astros the nod on starting pitching (just barely) and bullpen, and the Red Sox the advantage on hitting & their bench. Should be an exciting series, and will surely be more competitive than last year's ALDS.
Red Sox in 7.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
When do they announce the times for Games 3 & 4? I just bought tickets to Game 3 and am hoping it's not a super early start... but with the NLCS in Los Angeles that night, I don't like the odds.
ALCS: Astros vs. Red Sox
I can't help but wonder, either. 2018 Kimbrel was wildly inconsistent at times. Still great overall, but nowhere near as dominant as the 2017 version.
ALDS Thread: Yankees vs Red Sox
Well, it was supposed to be the best two teams at this point... bring on the Astros!
ALDS Thread: Yankees vs Red Sox
Mike Stanton has still got it!
ALDS Thread: Yankees vs Red Sox
Because Alex Cora knows best. (Full disclosure: I didnāt like the move, either, as well as sitting Brock and Devers today.)
ALDS Thread: Yankees vs Red Sox
I would like to see Price warm up in the bullpen, just to fuck with the Yankee fans. (But obviously not bring him in. Iād shit my pants.)
