  1. Good pitching beats good hitting. And the Astros have it.
  2. Tonight is definitely not the last time Bregman gets plunked this series.
  3. Vazquez ain’t the best pitch framer.
  4. Put in fucking Devers. At least *he* can hit.
  5. Wow. When’s the last time a manager gets tossed in the postseason?
  6. Swing the bat, Benny. Still... I’ll take it. Let’s hope Good Joe Kelly keeps showing up.
  7. Kelly looked great there... but I still would’ve gone with Sale for one more inning.
  8. Well, it’s nice for Sale to finally show up tonight.
  9. Sandy Leon ain’t getting a hit this whole fucking series.
  10. Fuck. Devers probably wouldn’t have done any better. But that Springer guy is good.
  11. This Fenway crowd looks like they’re on Xanax. 3-2, two outs, and everyone is sitting down.
  12. Interesting stat regarding that DP in the 1st: Verlander got GIDPs on 2.7% of all such opportunities (i.e., with a runner on first) during the regular season, the lowest conversion rate in all of MLB (min. 3 opportunities).
  13. Fuckin Pearce. Moreland needs to get healthy ASAP.
  14. And yet... he still has a postseason ERA nearly a whole run lower than Severino.
  15. Game 3 4:00 Game 4 7:30 Game 5 7:00
  16. (Verlander & Cole for the Astros in Games 1 & 2, respectively.)
  17. As expected, the Sox are going with Sale in Game 1, and *gulp* David Price in Game 2.
  18. Do it. You can probably find a better deal on a hotel.
  19. I'll give the Astros the nod on starting pitching (just barely) and bullpen, and the Red Sox the advantage on hitting & their bench. Should be an exciting series, and will surely be more competitive than last year's ALDS. Red Sox in 7.
  20. When do they announce the times for Games 3 & 4? I just bought tickets to Game 3 and am hoping it's not a super early start... but with the NLCS in Los Angeles that night, I don't like the odds.
  21. I can't help but wonder, either. 2018 Kimbrel was wildly inconsistent at times. Still great overall, but nowhere near as dominant as the 2017 version.
  22. Well, it was supposed to be the best two teams at this point... bring on the Astros!
  23. Because Alex Cora knows best. (Full disclosure: I didn’t like the move, either, as well as sitting Brock and Devers today.)
  24. I would like to see Price warm up in the bullpen, just to fuck with the Yankee fans. (But obviously not bring him in. I’d shit my pants.)
