Choppers that bounce over people's heads, little dribblers , seeing eyes hits and he doesn't help his cause by being wild. Houston's been on the verge of breaking this game open for the last few innings. And there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Story, Escobar? I'm not sure that they can really do anything to make them be competitive in the AL playoffs. They don't have the horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 how many times have they brought ruiz in when it was relatively close and he blows it open. i mean this game was probably over anyways because we cant score.. but ruiz in high lev situations needs to be done with period.

chw42 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 We somehow made this into a blowout. God we just suck against Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The Astros had a ton of injuries last year and played .500 baseball for 2 months. They got healthy in the playoffs and made the ALCS. At least the Sox are able to slay bad teams without their A lineup. If Eloy, Robert, & Grandal weren't likely to all return then I think the concerns would be more warranted.

hankchifan Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Why was Ruiz in the game? He is our worst clutch pitcher.. Our bullpen should have been rested. Where was Kopech, Crochet, COdy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
