Post by: Knoxbanedoodle on October 08, 2017, 01:54:29 pm
Top 1:

Springer leads off with a liner into right for a single, advances to second on a first pitch PB.
Reddick knocks him in with a single to center, takes second on the throw.
Red Sox crowd is pensive at best.
Altuve advances Reddick with a hard grounder to second. 1 down.
Correa! CORREA! Full count skyscraping two-run shibby to center!
Enter the boo birds!
Kelly warming up.
Marwin, swinging 3-0, grounds out on an excellent play by Bogaerts up the middle. Interesting green light when a walk might’ve knocked Fister.
Bregman K’s looking to end the inning.

Astros up three-nil.

Bottom 1:

Bogaerts grounds out 4-3 on Peacock’s second pitch.
Peacock throwing peas. Pedroia staying alive. Groundball singles into center.
Benintendi F9 first pitch.
Betts, 3-2, K’s swinging!

Top 2:

Leading off, Beltran watches 6 pitches and walks to first.
Yuli G. line drive singles into center on the first pitch.
McCann hits a 3-1 pitch on the nose but right at JBJ. Farrell to the mound, Kelly coming in.
Both runners advance on a 1-0 WP to Springer, who proceeds to ground out 6-3, infield in. Shoot.
Reddick flies out to right on what would’ve been a three-run bomb after a great AB. Betts caught it over the short fence.

Still 3-zip.

Title: Re: ALDS Game 3: Astros vs. Red Sox
Post by: Knoxbanedoodle on October 08, 2017, 02:36:20 pm
Bottom 2:

Moreland singles into left on the second pitch.
Ramirez dunks one into right. Runners on first and second.
Devers goes up 3-0, now full, walks to load them. McCann to the mound. Storm to the mound.
Leon falls behind 0-2, (Jim Crane is in the dugout, which seems weird) singles into left. One in, bases still full.
JBJ (Musgrove warming) K’s swinging. 1 down.
Bogaerts grounds into a 3-2 FC. 2 down.
Pedroia flies out to left.

Whew!

3-1 Astros

Top 3:

Altuve singles into center—ho-hum.
Correa GIDP 6-4-3. Three pitches so far this inning from Kelly.
Marwin laces a single into left-center. Kelly looking eminently hittable.
Red Sox slowing the game to a crawl to warm-up Price.
1 pitch thrown to Bregman in 5 minutes. 0-1, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, hammers it to right for the third fucking out. Kelly got the shit kicked out of him and emerged unscathed.

3-1 visitors.

Post by: Knoxbanedoodle on October 08, 2017, 03:08:33 pm
Bottom 4:

Benintendi, full count, K’s swinging on an outside fastball.
Jerry Peacock, sporting layered collared shirts, representing for Slim’s Fish Camp, watches as his son K’s Betts swinging, again on a full-count after getting squeezed on 2-2.
Moreland doubles off the CF wall. Please please let us beat the Red Sox and put Moreland on ice until ‘18.
Strom to the mound once more.
Ramirez singles just over Marwin’s fucking glove and advances to second on what’s deemed his error. 3-2.
And that’s it for Jerry’s son. Goddamnit. Here comes who, Musgrove?
Note to Astros pitchers: the plan to throw fastballs by Hanley Ramirez has completely stopped working.
Liriano in to face Devers, who feasts off of LH pitching.
Devers quickly homers to right and the Red Sox lead for the first time in the series.
Leon, because he is a Red Sox catcher facing the Astros, singles into left.
JBJ hits a laser right at Yuli G. for an out. Astros pitchers get the shit kicked out of them and emerge scathed.

4-3 Sawx.

Adversity!

Remind me why we're carrying three catchers and still not subbing Gattis for Beltran with a lefty on the mound (now for the second time).

Because if you do, either Gattis is facing righties, or you’re using Fisher.

All due respect, but STFU. The team hasn't lost yet, is still up 2-0 in the ALDS, and you're stroking keys and rambling about "goats," although you apparently don't even know what the term means or when it is appropriate to use it.

Trying to make 3 runs stand up over 9 innings is tough.

 The offense was stymied.  The bullpen didn't implode until after Peacock would have been gone.

(This is not to excuse Liriano's failure)

What failure? Throwing a slider for a strike the guy hit out? Miracle swing.

Peacock did not have his magic today. Get ‘em tomorrow.

Fair enough.  I was listening on the radio.  My main point was lifting Peacock wasn't a disaster,  to whit it was a 1 run game until the bottom fell out late.

And yes.  Wash the stink off,  tip your cap and kick some ass tmw.

No shit. The Astros have played the Sox seven straight games. They've won five. Tomorrow's another day, gotta dust yourself off and get ready to play.

Depends on Yankees/Indians tonight, right?

Talk to das.  There's an almost guarantee of rain tomorrow, how heavy and when, and when it lets up...?

I'm praying for an evening start.

Well, we had about as pleasant an experience as one could have hoped, given the outcome. If anyone catches the sports segments on channel 11 tonight, good chance my crew will make a cameo.

Ever notice how whenever Biz takes his clan to a game shit goes tits up? Wouldn't it be better to just stay home and watch reruns of the Duggars?

I'm starting to think there may be truth to this. The wife, baby and I saw them beat the Yankees earlier this year, so have narrowed the problem to one of the other three.

This is playoff baseball, folks. We are not going to win every game.
