Anyone remember when Dallas Keuchel called out this teams positioning?

Maybe we can get a catcher and not a dh playing the position.

Yeah I’m sure we’ll hear how pitchers don’t like him catching from them again 

The Sox have hit that same ball at least five times and all were outs.  They hit them and it's almost always a hit.  Pathetic.

If this was any team other than the b**** asstros - this wouldn’t be THIS bad. ?‍♂️

Is this the opposite of what Gruden said?

His nose is just so far away from his mouth.

You played baseball...could you imagine ever teaching a short stop to keep backing up on grounders hit to him and then throw flat footed?

A lot of that is! That's what happens in the playoffs when you put pitchers in bad situations, and then have guys in poor positions behind them!

Don't pretend the walks didn't factor. We saw when they didn't walk, they didn't score.

Probably had to do with the infield playing in.

tony will not like that steal 

Jesus Christ Brantley fucking stole a base? This is just embarrassing.

That was under Ricky  though wasn’t it?

One.  ONE.  ONE fucking attempt to steal a base all season by Brantley.  Let that sink in.

The last hit was a ball up the middle and the infield was in. Get real.

Embarrassing when Brantley is swiping bags

Well at least we got a solo HR today. That was fun for a moment.

Ugh now we're gonna throw at someone in the 9th aren't we?

You only retreat on an in between hop to lengthen it.  I prefer my SS to attack that and bring momentum to the bag.

Dusty rubbing Tony's nose in it now.

You can still have infield in with players not positioned like they were in 1950

Tony wrote a book about rubbing Dusty's nose in it, so I can't say I am surprised 

....and they go out with a whimper...
