GDT: 2018 ALCS - Boston Red Sox vs. Houston Astros

[darko]

The Yankees pen was highly overrated because Betances and Robertson aren’t what they once were. You can add Chapman to that too I guess

How so? Both Chapman and Betances had mid-2 ERA's while striking out 16 and 15 batters per 9. Both were lights out this year.

 

[Halladay]

This is the best pitching matchup in the playoffs since when? Thor/Bumgarner?

 

[hockeykicker]

Sale fastball speed is concerning

 

[Halladay]

Unlucky for the Sox.

Sale fastball speed is concerning

Where does he normally sit?

 

[Halladay]

I think he should be out.

Verlander is wild. So is Sale.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

2-0 Astros. Sale is not himself.

 

[EpochLink]

Astros up 2-0.

Sale pitches are going way wide.

 

[satbank]

Yeah, they have to replace him no way he should come in. His pitch is way off. He needs a longer rest period.

 

[canucksfan]

Astros up 2-0.

Sale pitches are going way wide.

I wonder if since his velo is down he is trying to overthrow causing the wildness.

 

[Halladay]

He doesn't have it. Price might last longer than he does.

 

[EpochLink]

Sale may not last this inning...

 

[DougieSmash]

2-0 Astros. Sale is not himself.

he was joke last playoffs too

He wasn't a joke against the Yankees so I am not sure what you are implying here.

OK but if your argument is he sucks in the playoffs, last round proved you are wrong. He's also still on track for a decent start tonight.

 

[Halladay]

Verlander needs to settle down. Appears to have lost the zone. Bases loaded.

3 straight walks and a run in. Mookie up.

Tie game.

 

[darko]

That was a strike 3 on Benintendi

 

[darko]

And now Verlander gets a favorable strike 3 call.

 

[Elvis P]

Before the run scored, sliding in a force out situation is dumb. They don't have to tag you. You just need to beat the throw.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Cora ejected.

He went to the darko side of the moon.
