Hey, we failed with RISP. Never expected that.

Honestly though, other than Robert, is there anyone that isn't trending downward at the plate right now?

Other than Lynn starting, which...damned if you do or don't, really, with as fragile as the pitching is now...yeah, TLR actually isn't to blame. This debacle is on the lack of plan whatsoever vs McCullers, combined with Lynn keeping his "shitty vs Houston" trend alive and well.

He gets a lot, but I'm pretty sure Abreu has gotten plenty, especially this year. TA is lathered in butter, nothing seems to stick to him on ST.

Maybe we can hit a few more ground balls?

And how many good starters do the Sox have, right now?

Multi talented future star, capable of wrecking multiple careers! And...yeah. I f$%king hate this Houston team. But...they are more built for this right now. Pitching, definitely consistent hitting. We're limping into the post-season with guys who didn't even play most of the season, pitching is riding on fumes and magic dust, slumps....yeah. Just hope we can show some life in game 2.

He went 17 for 79 (.215) since that crazy dugout incident. .268 for the season, before that. Maybe there is more to that, who knows.

We may not get 'normal' Eloy back until 2022 at this point. He is absolutely lost and not the guy we know.

Its one game. Seriously, give it a rest. It was the worst matchup possible, Lynn vs Houston IN Houston, with McCullers vs the White Sox non-offspeed hitting team. Now, can you argue that TLR has no business starting Lynn there over Gio? Absolutely, but if Gio goes game 1, we lose, then we're stuck with hoss out there in game 2, in a game he won't win, almost ever.

Lynn gonna Lynn vs Houston. LLINAA in the postseason

Hey, I wonder if you're getting a breaking ball out of the zone, with 2 strikes? If only we could somehow....predict.......that.

Also, let me go on record as saying "Damn, I hate this garbage organization (the Astros)."

OK, how about we start, with a hit? Then we'll worry about being in scoring position, then runs.

TLR forgot to pack Lance Lynn's 'Turn it on' switch. Dangit.

Any minute now, any minute...

Well, thats one way to take us out of the series.

I mean...he has no success vs Houston, nor IN Houston, not a great history.

Other than Mendick over Romy, I like it.

Kopech in a lather, before even throwing a pitch.

Pitching to contact, nothing wrong with that, Rodon!

Combined with Rodon having very average to below average stuff, and the Reds can't find the plate. Baseball, funny game.

Look at Gavin Sheets, professional fastball hitter.

Leury over here, in the 270s now with 50+ RBI.

Gray's slider to Eloy isn't even fair.
