Why are they even bothering to pitch to Tucker?

The fuck was that?

That was an odd decision but at least it worked out.

Jose Ruiz up because the corpse managing probably heard a fan yell Ruiz.

Astros announcers described it as an intentional balk.

I thought every pitcher on the Sox used pitchcom. Why would you care about a runner being on 2nd if you aren't using signs?

There was a lot of Cy Young talk before this game.

Bregman and Altuve are annoying.

Not watching but thought I'd stop in to concur that Altuve is an annoying lil fuck

DJ thought he balked on purpose to keep the runner at second from signaling signs to the batter.

Signaling where the catcher is set up? Defensive positions? I dunno.

Astros use signs all the time.

Now that makes sense.

Another terrible at bat by Sosa.  Make it stop

Sosa, unsurprisingly, is completely overwhelmed by Justin Verlander. I don't think he saw too many pitchers like this in AA.

Go away Sosa

Bad combination of long swing and no discipline

One team has decided to use OFers in the OF, the other thinks its MLB the Show on Rookie setting with DH/1B types

Vaughn seems to be seeing Verlander well but has nothing to show for it.

I know it’s on going joke…but it does seem like there’s a force field at the warming track for the Sox 

Verlander is dominating us.

Verlander just throwing down the plate, knowing this team has no power.  Of course they haven’t homered so far at home this series.

After blowing golden opportunity you just knew offense was done

He's completely overmatched.  Hahn's lack of depth strikes again.
