The vibes are not good in Houston: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7644992/2026/09/30/astros-loss-game-1-fans-frustration/?unlocked_article_code=1.FFE.RAml.BJpIH3UZK1Oc&source=emp_shared_article&smid=re-share-ta

Both Houston and Atlanta had thousands 0fm empty seats. Having these games in the daytime certainly didn't help matters. Most people have to work for a living. It would have been better to have these games played in the night.

Would have been a crazy environment at the Rate even with the start time.

Here's hoping that Sean Burke looks like he did in his last outing . HOLD FAST.

His quote about having no wife/girlfirend/family has me fired up. What a lunatic.

Screw them and their fans. Cheaters.

I guess this is one way to ron-proof the game threads

I made the gamethread yesterday and guaranteed the victory. Look what happened.

In fact, I think you're inviting bad juju into the thread by doing this. Mods, can we suspend him until the game is over?

Didn't he pitch for our White Sox?

Yesterday was tense at times, but it felt like we were in control for the entire game. Never felt like the Astros were really going to tie it up or take the lead. I'm feeling confident we can end this tonight.

You of all people requesting suspension for poor GameThread etiquette

The current Martin scares me. I hope we don’t get to see him.

Me too, huge start vs Colorado to keep our division title hopes alive and promptly gives up 3 runs thus ending our chances. No to Martin starting.

It wasn't the best situation but good Davis, wins us the game.

Old friend Bennett on our side.

Well when you win the division 9 out of 10 years, versus first time in six years, it makes a difference.

He's due for a loss.

He's walked 25 batters in his last ten regular season starts. Just be patient and we'll get runners on. Same approach for today works.

That's the problem, we can get bad Davis as much as great Davis right now. If Davis does have to pitch, obviously I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, Sox had a game plan, don't chase and mostly did that in the first innings, they got away from it later on but yeah, stay patient, take your walks.

Time to exorcise the ghosts of 2000 and 2020.

Sox didn't win game 1 in 2000, they were swept by Seattle

Just remember Carlos Guillen and all the Sox power hitters being totally shut down

that bunt/squeeze play to end series
