If the Sox hold on, 2:30 tomorrow is going to come very quickly.

So, Crochet 6th, Bummer 7th, Hendricks 8th-9th?

Football game in extended lightning delay so this game just picked up more viewers.

2:25 to play 4 innings.

I just want to point out that on that Grandal play, the Astros were accusing another team of violating the rules to gain an advantage and maybe that's a dose of karma.

I was about to say: Six catcher bends the rules in a postseason game.

Chalk up another run to not shifting.

Critical to pitch a scoreless inning here.

While Garcia is batting with a 2-0 count, Garcia is coming in to relieve Garcia.

STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH!!!!!!!!

We're fucking done talking about Yaz's postseason munbers with the Dodgers OK?

No problem guys. Just string together 8 of those singles you've been hitting and it's tied.

The Astros don't want to swing. Just keep pounding the zone.

I usually criticize Cease for taking too many pitches to get through innings, but tonight, I want to see 4 scoreless innings and I don't care if it takes him 100 pitches to do it.

The Sox have won 3 straight playoff games on Sunday, all on days the Bears also won.

I watched the pregame show on NBCSC for the first two games so I'm not doing that tonight.

On a day when 11 extra points were missed, and the Packers and Bengals combined to miss 5 game winning FGs before Green Bay finally got one. I think the Bears have a real chance to not get blown out by Green Bay next week.

I was just thinking about that as well. We were told that Escobar had been traded to the Sox. Then they hadn't traded for him. Then we heard it was from medical issues. But he never missed any time.

Apparently, getting opposing receivers to drop passes when wide open is a skill.

Questionable PI call as well. These refs just like to throw flags.

Yeah, Engel may go 0-4, but he'll at least provide defensive value. Leury has to get on base a couple times to compensate for the lack of defense.

The excuse is that Cesar and Leury are both swtich hitters, completely ignoring the fact that they'll combine to go 0-8.

Lions gonna Lions

I don't know if the Sox would ever dare try this, but Bummer has a FB rate under 10% and you could really justify playing 5 IF and 2 OF when he's pitching, especially if your two OF are Robert and Engel.

I'm pretty sure his vote total is the square root of -1, because any world where he's in charge is purely imaginary.
