Leadoff walk in the 5th chases Sale with a 3-2 lead.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2018, 09:51:18 pm »

Boston gave up a run in the top of the 5th.

In the bottom, Kershaw probably gets screwed on a chopper over the 3B bag called foul. Batter walks. Dave Roberts excitedly makes his first pitching change. Boston loads them up, a FC (nearly a dp) and a single make it 5-3.

5th inning, Ryu leaves after loading the bases.

Madson then walks in a run to tie the game, then gives up a2 run single to right.

That makes 35 of 67 postseason Boston runs scored with 2 outs.

Clearly, the AL is superior to the NL because, watching the Dodgers and Brewers, it’s hard to see either of them beating the Sox, Astros or Yankees.

It appears that Roberts, like Hinch, is also going to experience watching the Red Sox celebrate on his home turf.
The only question may be whether the Astros will have done more damage than the Dodgers.

Both teams had errors that allow a run in the 13th.

9 pitchers for both teams.

Kershaw had an AB, but didn't pitch.

Looks like only Hill and Ryu didn't participate for the Dodgers.

Can't tell who sat out for the Red Sox because the At Bat boxscore currently has the LA roster listed under Boston's bench. Whoever is in charge of that probably feel asleep face first on his keyboard.

I'm not sure why I watched to the end simply because I don't care who wins and I could watch the game any time I want. It didn't have to be three in the morning.

If nobody homers in three tries, you move out to the pitcher's mound and hit from there. No homers from there? You move out to 2nd base.

Quote

.....'Our friendship is very good,'' Marichal said in 1990, on the 25th anniversary of the bat attack.

Roseboro told The Los Angeles Times on that occasion that he had begun speaking to Marichal in the early 1980's because he felt the violent episode was keeping Marichal -- a winner of 243 games -- out of the Hall of Fame unjustly.

''There were no hard feelings on my part, and I thought if that was made public, people would believe that this was really over with,'' Roseboro said. ''So I saw him at a Dodger old-timers' game and we posed for pictures together and I actually visited him in the Dominican. The next year, he was in the Hall of Fame.

''Hey, over the years you learn to forget things.''
