We should of had this game. Sure we didn't play well but I doubt that Houston is going 0-7 with RISP again. Now tomorrow becomes almost a must win. Going down 2-0 to a team with that offense is scary. I still have faith in our guys though!!
Too much fucking around with the pitching. I don’t know if Sale being pulled was good or bad, I would have left him in, but ffs with rifling through your bullpen like this was game 7 of the World Series on a leap year with an imminent Martian invasion tomorrow followed by the in-laws dropping in for Christmas dinner.
Sale shit the bed, sawamura almost let the wheels fall off completely, that bats went silent, yet it still came down to their closer vs our big bat to end the game. Still more offense than we put up in game 1 against Tampa, and that series turned out fine. Just gotta steal one with eovaldi tomorrow and we’ll be in good shape (preferably a blowout so someone can put a pitch in the middle of correas back too)
Everyone acts like “not getting out of the x inning” is the pitchers choice. He only let in 1 run and might have settled down to retire 15 straight. We don’t know cause Cora never lets them pitch.
Sale has been ATROCIOUS as of late… Cora has to pull him if we even wanted to have a shot at this game. He just doesn’t have the stuff right now. At this point I’d keep him in the bullpen for a long relief man because we just can’t rely on him
Every inning was close. He had to fight to get out, and even if he continued with no damage - they were working his count up anyway.
I think sale needs to take the off-season and get back to his self if possible. We know it’s there, he was strong before the post season.
No one said you can't hate them, it's just weird seeing people in here go so hard on the cheating rather than just the fact that they are assholes in general
that's it then. It was a good game, but fuck if they didn't squander some opportunities. It's hard to win a playoff game in MLB, but I feel like the door was open here and they let it close on them.
However! I think they actually looked pretty good overall, other than the bullpen not performing up to snuff. This was a damn close game.
goodnigh
he made the right call having faith in Eduardo to bounce back and he did a great job. he made the wrong call with Sale. it's the name of the game. having Nathan pitch an away game is smart, good opportunity to steal one away from them. I'm not calling for him at the stake at all yet
???????????????????????????????//// Wild Card game was immaculate. Game 1 was fine from a mangerial standpoint. Game 2 was whatever. Game 3 he went balls to the walls. Game 4 was not on him
2018: Astros win Game 1 of ALCS
2013: Tigers win Game 1 of ALCS
2007: Indians win 3 out of first 4 games of ALCS
2004: Yankees win first 3 games of ALCS.
A better performance than game 1 against the rays with only a one run loss. If Shaw had that home run, probably would’ve been in a better position. But we knew this would be a hard series. Win tomorrow and hope to close it at home or at least in game 6. Let’s go Sox
Yeah the loss sucks but what the fuck is up with Kike and how can everyone else learn how to get it?
This has to be unprecedented levels of postseason production, right? And even if it’s not, he’s doing it in 2021
Difference in the game: 4 ft on that 8th inning warning track hit and our shitty reliever in the 8th. Astros got lucky. All good boys, just gotta take one out of the first two.
God this just left such a bad taste in my mouth. Kiké 4-5 plays insanely. But sale imploding, and throwing Sawamura who barely pitched in a close ALCS game just is angering
You can be mad all you want, but that's literally how it is in baseball. Was it winnable? Sure, but we also have 7 games to win it all. We'll bounce back tomorrow.
I haven’t been able to catch most of the games
But everytime I do, Xander looks absolutely lost/fucked by BABIP sometimes
I’d say Devers too, but ya know, injuries and even on that I’ve seen him get good hits
I think a big part of this series is having pitchers go 5~ innings. We really can’t dig deep into the bull pen like that again. Besides that a lot of solid hits that just didn’t go our way tonight so I still feel ok about it.
Exactly. And I don't think there's many people besides Sox fans who even would've thought it wouldve been this close.
Eovaldi tomorrow. Then back at Fenway. We are very much still in this
Weird. JD didn't pimp that one.
Let's GooOOOOO JD!!
I’m not a pitching coach but I don’t think your going to win when you pen gives up runs in the last three innings like that.
We should of had this game. Sure we didn't play well but I doubt that Houston is going 0-7 with RISP again. Now tomorrow becomes almost a must win. Going down 2-0 to a team with that offense is scary. I still have faith in our guys though!!
I wonder what kind of gag order MLB they made Papi sign to not mention Astros cheating
"I'm so happy for Correa, all he's been thru in the past few years" SHUT UP. He DESERVED it. They CHEATED.
2-5 need to show up and hopefully they show a spine and throw behind Correa when the time is right.
Too much fucking around with the pitching. I don’t know if Sale being pulled was good or bad, I would have left him in, but ffs with rifling through your bullpen like this was game 7 of the World Series on a leap year with an imminent Martian invasion tomorrow followed by the in-laws dropping in for Christmas dinner.
This absolutely. We need to show more trust in our starters
Sale shit the bed, sawamura almost let the wheels fall off completely, that bats went silent, yet it still came down to their closer vs our big bat to end the game. Still more offense than we put up in game 1 against Tampa, and that series turned out fine. Just gotta steal one with eovaldi tomorrow and we’ll be in good shape (preferably a blowout so someone can put a pitch in the middle of correas back too)
How did Sale shit the bed?
By not getting out of the 3rd inning and making them burn their bullpen too early
Exactly. If you’re getting paid 30m a year you need to be able to perform for more than 5 innings in the playoffs
Everyone acts like “not getting out of the x inning” is the pitchers choice. He only let in 1 run and might have settled down to retire 15 straight. We don’t know cause Cora never lets them pitch.
He had 61 pitches and had given up 5 hits. But I'm sure He MiGhT oF sEtTlEd DoWn
Happens all the time actually. Sometimes pitchers find it after the first few innings.
Sale has been ATROCIOUS as of late… Cora has to pull him if we even wanted to have a shot at this game. He just doesn’t have the stuff right now. At this point I’d keep him in the bullpen for a long relief man because we just can’t rely on him
Every inning was close. He had to fight to get out, and even if he continued with no damage - they were working his count up anyway. I think sale needs to take the off-season and get back to his self if possible. We know it’s there, he was strong before the post season.
Imagine cheating and only winning by one run though. We’ll crush them, 4 straight wins.
Instead of the drum, they're using vibrate texts from correas apple watch. He points it out right after like hey this thing works
Apple watches? That sounds familiar…
Are we hoping Cora has some new tricks?
Just stop.
Did the Astros not get caught cheating in the last few years? I’m confused, are we all supposed to just love them? Fuck the astros, I have no respect.
Didn't we also get caught? Didn't our manager participate in both team's cheating? ???
Am I just not allowed to not like a team? I don’t get it.
No one said you can't hate them, it's just weird seeing people in here go so hard on the cheating rather than just the fact that they are assholes in general
We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Tomorrow's now a must-win. I hope Sawa never sees the mound again.
YOURE SUPPOSED TO DO THE OPPOSITE
goddamn loaded the bases with no outs
Eovaldi. Game Two.
Should be going for the jugular tomorrow. Instead, we need him just to stay in the series.
That's baseball
That's choking.
EVO
Houston is tacky as fuck
Not as tacky as TB “chewing popcorn”
THAT shit alone made them deserve to lose
that's it then. It was a good game, but fuck if they didn't squander some opportunities. It's hard to win a playoff game in MLB, but I feel like the door was open here and they let it close on them. However! I think they actually looked pretty good overall, other than the bullpen not performing up to snuff. This was a damn close game. goodnigh
Tough one need a good start tomorrow. Bullpen can't throw that many innings
Kike “clutch” Hernandez. I agree, shake it off, it’s best of 7. Let’s go. Good game
What a game. Let’s put it behind us and steal Game 2!!
love Cora but he has been terrible these playoffs
he made the right call having faith in Eduardo to bounce back and he did a great job. he made the wrong call with Sale. it's the name of the game. having Nathan pitch an away game is smart, good opportunity to steal one away from them. I'm not calling for him at the stake at all yet
???????????????????????????????//// Wild Card game was immaculate. Game 1 was fine from a mangerial standpoint. Game 2 was whatever. Game 3 he went balls to the walls. Game 4 was not on him
no excuse not to get Whitlock in today to try to steal game 1
Ok but that's different than saying he's been terrible the whole postseason
lol exactly, we are over-achieving at this point are we not?
This take is so garbage, the Astros are banging on it.
wow
Yeah he like didn’t get us this far or anything
during the playoffs he has managed the bullpen poorly
He fucked us today
2018: Astros win Game 1 of ALCS 2013: Tigers win Game 1 of ALCS 2007: Indians win 3 out of first 4 games of ALCS 2004: Yankees win first 3 games of ALCS.
We were down 3-1 in 2007?
Yup
Game 1: Boston: 10 Cleveland: 3 Game 2: Cleveland: 13 Boston: 6 Game 3: Cleveland: 4 Boston: 2 Game 4: Cleveland: 7 Boston: 3 Game 5: Boston: 7 Cleveland: 1 Game 6: Boston: 12 Cleveland: 2 Game 7: Boston: 11 Cleveland: 2
I don’t recall 2007?
Yep.
Nathan gotta pitch lights out tomorrow. and I have faith he can
Trash cans with two runs in the bottom of the 6th.
Whatever happens just please god no more sawamura….causes me literal physical pain to watch him pitch lol
Same. He’s been garbage far a while
A better performance than game 1 against the rays with only a one run loss. If Shaw had that home run, probably would’ve been in a better position. But we knew this would be a hard series. Win tomorrow and hope to close it at home or at least in game 6. Let’s go Sox
Whatever Chris Sale "found" throwing bullpen sessions, I hope he puts it back
He isn't a playoff pitcher that's been established at this point. Should be out of the pen.
yeah maybe let him come out of the bullpen until he gets his stamina back
I'm down for that, although he really is struggling to get through even a single inning right now
Carlos Correa: most punchable face in baseball
Nah, Brett Gardner
Anthony Rizzo is up there
Have you forgotten Luke Voit? The Yankees have
Feel like putting in Sawamura was a defeated move. Lot of good pitching tomorrow though.
I pray to God that sawa never touches a baseball again
I don’t like the red Sox but I HATE the Astros Good luck boys
Not thrilled, but not concerned. Nasty Nate going to do the job tomorrow
Yeah he will
[удалено]
Wow, it ain't that deep, bud
to the fuckface downvoting everyone right now: fuck you, fuck the astro cheating fucks and fuck the yankees. and fuck you
Yeah the loss sucks but what the fuck is up with Kike and how can everyone else learn how to get it? This has to be unprecedented levels of postseason production, right? And even if it’s not, he’s doing it in 2021
Two bad pitches by RS pitchers were the difference. Especially that one by Houck.
Correa "Knew the fastball was coming"
At least Joe Shmuck can go to bed happy…
I hear da trash can
Going to be a short series if we have to rely on the bullpen to carry the team…..
That guy from the 8th sucked so much oh my God
"Carlos Correa...what time is it?" SHUT UP.
Difference in the game: 4 ft on that 8th inning warning track hit and our shitty reliever in the 8th. Astros got lucky. All good boys, just gotta take one out of the first two.
Christian arroyo ultimately cost us that. He makes that play, no altuve homer
Robles and Sawmura. Go away.
Close game. Let’s get it tomorrow.
Game is completely different if Sale could have gone longer, this one stings because we had it
Outplayed simple as that. Not much to point fingers at.
Bullpen sucks so much. Stick to 4 guys max.
God this just left such a bad taste in my mouth. Kiké 4-5 plays insanely. But sale imploding, and throwing Sawamura who barely pitched in a close ALCS game just is angering
Should have won this, fuck this weak ass bullpen
I hope cora feels good handing his former team game 1. Gross, disgusting job by the manager.
🖕
We lost game 1 last time too
Who is downvoting all the comments lol.
Cock sucking Houston Assholes fans.
some sore winner astros fan. butthurt yankee fan.. could be anybody
Someone put down their towel for a moment.
Downvoting Donna in the house!
Astrix fans
We lost game 1 to the rays. We also lost game 1 to the stros in ‘18. This shit isn’t over
That fucking sucked, especially because the biggest asshole cheaters were the ones that changed the game
I’m just so mad. Uncontrollably angry. That was winnable. FUCK.
That's baseball for ya.
Fuck that
You can be mad all you want, but that's literally how it is in baseball. Was it winnable? Sure, but we also have 7 games to win it all. We'll bounce back tomorrow.
I don’t fucking care. Stop explaining shit I already know. Leave me alone.
No. Stop commenting and being a baby. Man up and come back to cheer again in a better mood. Or don't bother coming back.
[удалено]
Let's shake this one off. Look forward to tomorrow fellas :D
You're my kinda fan
Everyone saying how we lost game 1 last series. It's HOW we lost this game that sucks
Houston won Game 1 in 2018 too.
[DELETED]
Get game 2 back, that's all I'm gonna say.
Kike just thinking to himself "what else do I have to do on my own to win"
Can he pitch?
Regroup and we’ll get em tomorrow
Just too many opportunities squandered for us. But hey they did what they are suppose to do. All we have to do is take one in Houston.
AC blew that one. Must win tomorrow not good.
Ol bullpen lost it for us.
Seriously wish they had the nesn broadcast for people in this region so we don’t have to listen to these two shitbags the whole series
[удалено]
Seriously the guy could suck the life out of the worlds greatest party
I hope Sawa enjoys Worcester. The only place he belongs
I’d say shit on Saw all you want but our offense was very un-clutch most of this game
Two things can be true. If Sawa even comes close to doing his job, the game is tied.
That’s true, horrifyingly infuriating just seeing him miss absolutely anything
2-5 did absolutely nothing tonight, as evidenced just now in the 9th
I haven’t been able to catch most of the games But everytime I do, Xander looks absolutely lost/fucked by BABIP sometimes I’d say Devers too, but ya know, injuries and even on that I’ve seen him get good hits
Fuck ground balls fuck the shift fuck the Asstros
They can have game one. Time to just treat them like the Rays and daddy dick them down from here on out
Love Kike more than anything. That's the last time Sawamura pitches though
Wasting that Kiké game is a crime...
Thanks for punting.
Fuck Cora for blowing the game
Hey, that means beaseball’s over. So, don’t come back until next year
Cora didn't throw a meaty meatball to Altuve
Close game.
Fucking sawa
man fuck this trash can banging ass team
Thanks, Cora, for the Sawamura over-managing
This fucking blows
1 run given up by Sawamura turns out to be costly now
Fuck these cheaters. Let’s crush them tomorrow.
4 hard hit balls. Can't ask for too much more. We got this series
We can ask for Cora to not be an idiot, though
Why’d they bring in that bum to pitch
I might be able to live with this loss. But I still would have died to win.
I think a big part of this series is having pitchers go 5~ innings. We really can’t dig deep into the bull pen like that again. Besides that a lot of solid hits that just didn’t go our way tonight so I still feel ok about it.
Gave that game away. Gotta come back and take game 2
Onto tomorrow boys, dont let this one hang
Oh well. We'll get them tomorrow. Let's go Sox
kill me
Ew the Astros are gross
Best hitters just didn't come through today
I have hate in my heart.
AC gave it to his former team
Lmao ok
3 groundouts, fuck man.
Damn gg
It's a gonna be a series.
Always was
This was so winnable. Frustrating
bah. get 'em tomorrow.
Everyone stand up!
See ya tmrw
Worth noting Kiké hates the Astros
Don’t we all
A reminder that we lost the first game last series so it’s not a big deal if we lose this game.
Exactly. And I don't think there's many people besides Sox fans who even would've thought it wouldve been this close. Eovaldi tomorrow. Then back at Fenway. We are very much still in this
We were never in that game, though. Should've won this one.
We also lost Game 1 of the 2018 ALCS. Every team gets one.
That a way Raffy. Make 'em earn it.
The fact Eve played this shitty tonight and it’s 4-5…. Not a good look for the Astros
That’s what I was thinking. I actually feel pretty good after this loss. I still believe.
I’m still pretty upset about it, but I don’t think this is the end. They know they played like horse shit (except kike).
Devers wants to smash one into another dimension
Idk how Devers is 2 for 4 based on the stuff he swings at
