He kind of disappeared as the game wore on today...

who else? Brazoban and Hudson? Martin/Kay and all hands on deck for possible G3?

Big escape by Tolle there seven man bench and ten pitchers is interesting

BenettiVision maybe get some White Sox mentions in

Taylor warming Sandlin has to put high K guy Walker there

Hudson?

Sigh never easy Spence is red hot

Grichuk was going to be out at home DP’s killing Sox if you can say that about a 6-2 lead

Ex Sox Sousa thanks!

Except not letting Hicks go until someone reached

Ullola is game mvp if Astros somehow manage to win Vargas and Grichuk are the RH sluggers…it is what it is. And Meidroth

Bridge to Taylor has to be addressed in the offseason Or just get an elite closer and move Taylor primarily to 7/8th

They haven’t let Alvarez beat them yet, there’s that

Sandlin going to be second guessed No faith in Hudson or Brazoban

If you can’t hold a 5-0 lead here you’re probably not going to then go out and Format in 2020 different? 1-15 would be going back to start of the 2021 season

If you can’t hold a 5-0 lead here you’re probably not going to then go out and beat Hunter Brown…but odds are still in Sox favor.

Have a feeling Venable will go to Taylor too early

Gut check time now

At least they didn’t mention 2020 Sox are the 1/16 teams to start WC up 1-0 and lose !!!

This is where someone should say April prediction of a 5-0 lead on the road in G1 of the playoffs would have been laughed off the fórum. Newcomb and Hudson just haven’t been trustworthy at all down the stretch.

Nice to see Peters get a hit with that injury/Sept slump Venable overmanaging the lefty lefty thing again. Should have waited for someone to reach first.

She was just on MLB Network with the Astros' dugout reporter.

Derek Hill hitting fifth for the Phillies today against Sale...is something. Kind of amazing how he and Grichuk found their perfect landing spots. Garrett Crochet on the Red Sox roster today...

The dissenting view “The Astros have so much more postseason experience and the bigger names (Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve, Jeremy Peña), but when there's no clear favorite, go with the hungry young team that has enough talent and vibes to do damage and surprise.” -- Jason Catania, supervising editor -- breaking news @ mlb.com

White Sox The best answer would be: Why not? Most people thought reaching .500 would be a great 2026 accomplishment for this young team coming off three straight seasons of 100-plus losses. But there they were on Sept. 24, celebrating a playoff-clinching victory in Kansas City. This team is fearless, as general manager Chris Getz has said many times. This team plays all 27 outs with high intensity, and this team has believed they were good long before anyone else felt the same. Getting more than a few home runs from Miguel Vargas, Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery, who all topped 30 in the regular season, won’t hurt the cause, nor will the starting rotation giving the top-notch bullpen room to maneuver. People not believing in the White Sox, though, is nothing unusual and won't slow down the South Siders. -- Scott Merkin mlb.com
