GDT: 2017 ALDS: (2) Houston Astros vs (3) Boston Red Sox

[John Price]

In the last 24 months Dombrowski has paid big money or prospects for Kimbrel, Price, Pomeranz, and Sale and they're about to be 1-4 in the playoffs for it.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Astros do what they do, already up 1.

Bogaerts homers. 1-1. Could be another bullpen game for both teams.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I do not like keeping Porcello in vs Correa here with bases loaded.

And he strikes him out. LOL.

It has taken 50 minutes to play 1 and 1/2 innings...

 

[Del Preston]

I loathe Pedroia.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Red Sox waste bases loaded none out after some questionable strike calls...Ferrell ejected.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sale warming up. Can you really win a Pomeranz vs Verlander or Keuchel game 5 in Houston???

I'd go further than "questionable"...they were pretty bad, JBJ's especially.

They have to get there first.

The Bradley call was awful. The pitch to Pedroia was closer.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I give the ump credit for not tossing Pedroia, but those were some clown show calls. Ground Chuck is all over the place and he gives him 3 inches off the plate twice on breaking balls. Ridiculous. No dog in this fight but many batters in this league would have given blue a piece of their mind.

Pedey's was closer, definitely...the Red Sox fan in me wants it to be called a ball, but it was closer.

JBJ's was frigging awful though.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

They have to get there first.

Of course. For some reason though, I think I would gamble my normal relievers can outpitch Houston's because that's what this game will be in an inning or 2.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Line drive double play!

 

[John Price]

Boston openly cheated at the game of baseball and there are a slew of other reasons why you should want their demise today. Go Astros!

 

[RockLobster]

What are you swinging at there Hanley? lol

 

[RockLobster]

I understand that Sale is likely to pitch today, but with the looming threat of a weather delay that the announcers are saying will take "hours", why would you bring him in before that? Makes no real sense to me.

 

[John Price]

out

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Out at the plate!

Gonzalez is such a useful player.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Not even close at the plate...

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Sale time.

 

[RockLobster]

Bad call on Butterfield to send Moreland.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Verlander warming up.

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

Both managers wasting their best pitchers right before the heavy rain comes? I guess Hinch didn't want to be outdone.

 

[John Price]

Charlie Morton admirable effort.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Verlander time.
