9th inning 2 run lead on the road sox fans:

Uh I'm pretty sure he checked up on that..

The Elk would have stolen 3rd 

This seems a little risky.  Hope it works 

Venable seems determined to give EVERYONE in that bullpen save opportunities...

Altavilla the closer now ?

Thanks ump

So smart of Wilson to let guys get on base to get through the top six guys in their order in the 8th inning. 

Tough luck outs continue for the Astros. And a horrific strike call goes the Sox way to start the next AB

One of those greased pea and tweezer moments according to the Hawkeroo

Nope Eisert. He's been good 

Teel picking up his pitcher...

Interesting call with Caratini better against LHP the last two years.

He’s impressed me all year defensively 

This is a hellish jinx on my part but I think Eisert is probably the best pitcher on the team right now

Awesome win!

Good job.  Astros hitters swinging at pitches at their ankles helped out a lot there.

Amazing how different their offense feels without Yordan

Eisert's a rookie too isn't he ? 

1-2-3 9th for Eisert's second save.

Bullpen, sure.

Well, theoretically...after Grant Taylor just on stuff alone, there's no comparison.

fWAR bears that out, although it's notoriously not the greatest measure for non-closers in determining value.

Any subscribers to the CHSN streaming service in here? My dad has constant issues with the stream quality and I don't know whether it's something with his home internet setup or just a janky service from Jerry and the boys. CHSN customer service doesn't want to talk to him (and only do so via email).

How the hell did they get Shane Smith in the rule 5 draft? Thanks Brewers!
