Watching kinsler hit is depressing. 6 LOB already with two strikeouts.

Do we know why the lefthand hitting Holt is not playing second?

because Cora is over thinking it

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I'd honestly be down for Cora leaving Porcello in for the ninth.
 
I don't have the blood pressure for Kimbrel to walk three guys.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Fuck Kinsler cannot be hitting. That was a disgrace.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Fuck me Kimbrel is so bad.

Who won

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Orioles. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Orioles. 

The first person to talk trash after being accused of their team winning lol

Price was okay. Offense is waking up. Bullpen looked great.
 
It's almost as if a series isn't decided in one game. Exhale, un-clench, and let it unfold...

The Red Sox had to win this game.  They could not hope to win the series going to Houston down 0-2.  The Astros go home where they play really well and the fans will be rocking.  Now, Sale goes to the hospital with a stomach ailment.  I hope it isn't serious, as he is supposed to start game 5.  If he can't go, the Sox are in a lot of trouble.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Sox are in trouble even if he does start. He clearly hasn't been himself.

Who won

this post is the only reason I knew who won

Well, it was a good regular season at least, but the Red Sox look totally overmatched in this ALCS.

My bad. I lost faith to quickly.

A little bit of a reverse from the first game insofar as the Astros were the more erratic of the two teams — though not egregiously so. Neither starter pitched all that well, but neither did they pitch terribly, both of them yielding 4 earned runs by the time they departed.

The Boston bullpen was stronger in this outing, at least until there were two outs in the ninth, at which point Kimbrel faltered a bit when he faced the top of the order.

Leadoff hitters Springer and Betts are doing an equally good job setting the tables, but the 2/3/4 hitters for both clubs are still scuffling a bit (in his defense, Bregman has not gotten much to hit, having walked 6 times in 9 plate appearances).

The McCullers/Maldanado link proved unfortunate for Houston in the 7th, as Betts scored from first on a wild pitch and two passed balls.

Not a sterling game, but definitely a competitve one (like the series thus far)..

Ready for game 3
I think Buehler is up for it

I really really hope the boys light up chacin

But if we do I'm guessing gio and whoever come in to neutralize the lefties

Game 4 is the Brewers bullpen game imo

This pretty much sums up the entire relationship between this Red Sox team and this forum. Almost sounds like a book title. "I lost faith too quickly" - The 2018 World Series Champions and the sports forum that never believed in them"

Pretty good series so far. Should be a pretty low scoring game tonight with the wind blowing straight in pretty good

 

[Mexi]

Dodgers are in big trouble if they don't tie this game before Hader comes in

Whoever replaces Chacin will be a lefty

The only issue with heavy platoons is when the other team goes along with it and neautralizes a side. In this case the dodgers lefties

 

[Mexi]

Just glad we're getting seager back next year

Goodbye grandal and goodbye MLB thread til the off-season

 

[Giantmetfan07]

lmao.

Giving up already. Though the brewers do look great.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Should have pulled him after that double.
