2017 ALDS: Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros

cameron was definitely not calling for sale to come on in relief today...

well if you squinted real hard you could read the last sentence that way

what's a start and what's relief in this post season anyway who knows

Managers in regular season: "I believe in all 12 pitchers." Managers after three playoff games: "I really only trust like three of them."

well that did not work.

:D

Alex 'cries and whispers' Bregman!

Man.

i guess you can't blame this one on farrell?

just tuning in, why Farrell tossed?

i'm sure he's calling the shots from his watch.

he intervened as pedroia was trying to get himself thrown out for arguing a third strike call

They play "Telstar" at Fenway?

ruh roh Redsox

the bell tolls...

sale/kimbrel blowing it is enjoyable

what an at-bat from carlos . . . beltraahhn

and the at-bat from reddick was monumental

You can use all the pitchers some of the time, and you can use some of the pitchers all the time, but you can't use all the pitchers all the time.

hahaha, I still want HOU to win, but that was great

man, what a stupid old ballpark

yea this game has been fun

Rafael Devers: first #RedSox postseason inside-the-park HR since Larry Gardner 10/11/1916

Did Reddick not move until Springer hit the ground?

i guess all the fun postseason games in this era are going to be hideously sloppy.

bradley has been awful this series, and most of last month iirc (?)

Dombrowski pout!

yeah i don't know what reddick was doing there

now you can put yr Patriots stuff on, kids

Great game, I really thought that Boston had swung the series when Verlander gave up the HR and Sale continued dealing. God only knows who would have been the game five starters after that.

sale shouldn't have started the 8th

two great games, i won't complain

i love altuve and verlander but the rest of the astros kind of seem like villains

and yea that includes ol' squinty, mccann

well, yeah, but Josh Reddick is a villain w/ a fabulous ass.

Hinch:

“You can lose playing conservatively, too. It’s very easy to go to the bullpen and leave Justin Verlander out of it, but our job is to try to win, it’s not to try not to lose. And we had an opportunity to do that. When it doesn’t work out, as long as I’m prepared, as long as I feel like I did the right thing by what our plan was, then I can live with the result. Doesn’t make you feel any better when Benintendi is running around the bases. That’s a pretty low moment for a manager.”
