Fear our potential upcoming 7-8-9, Pressly!

At some point, Grandal has to shake the Postseason hex he seems to have. I knew he was bad, but I didn't know it was .120/.283/.293

Not sure what he was looking for there, got a few hittable pitches, just didn't get enough of that.

Yas is trying to walk his way on.

Terrible call, c'mon. But...one of those balls was a strike, so...

Hey, hits and a run! If Grandal can un-funk himself here...

Ruiz time!

Yep, you put Gio out there, you still fail to hit/score, then game 2 goes to Mr. Anti-Performer in Houston, and its easily 2-0 HOU.

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...
