Series GDT ALDS: Boston Red Sox vs Houston Astros

[Orgfiller]

Porcello was pretty fired up there for a guy who just allowed 4 runners to reach in the first inning, and 3 of those didn't have to swing the bat.

[Orgfiller]

Well Morton doesn't look any better.

[Abomination]

Well Morton doesn't look any better.

 

Yeah, he's throwing strikes, but they're right down the pipe.

[Abomination]

Wow, that did NOT look like a swing.

Thought the same thing.....he acted like he struck out the side.

[Orgfiller]

Lol wtf was that throw from Benintendi?

three very hittable pitches.. the hell you looking at correa

[Orgfiller]

Again like, yeah good job not giving up a grand slam but Porcello is looking awful and is in no way helping keep the Sox out of elimination.

[Omar]

LOL.....with Farrell tossed the Bosox might actually win this game.

[Orgfiller]

Questionable calls to Bradley Jr. and Pedroia for huge strikeouts for the Astros. At the same time, as a hitter you cannot take a pitch that close in that spot in the game.

[Abomination]

Morton painting the corners (maybe a little off them). Tough calls for the ump.

McCann is putting on a clinic as well.

[Omar]

Bregman. What a play!

[Abomination]

With heavy rain likely coming soon, going to Sale seems kinda iffy. Might have been better to use relievers, then Sale after a delay.

Morton just getting drilled this inning

[Omar]

All of Fenway just deflated. Moreland looked like Tulo coming home.

[Abomination]

Morton just getting drilled this inning

 

Unbelievable that this is a 2-1 game. Both pitchers have horseshoes up their asses.

[Yippy]

Out by a mile at the plate

[Yippy]

Pedroia should have been thrown out of the game

[intentional wok]

Pedroia should have been thrown out of the game

 

I was at the ALCS game a few years ago when Tulo got chucked for what looked like way less than what Pedroia just did. Not that I think Pedroia deserved the boot. I think a bit of leeway should be allowed in the playoffs though.

Finally a clean inning for Morton, and a dominant one at that.

[Orgfiller]

The Astros might counteract the Sale move with Justin Verlander. Playoff baseball!

[Abomination]

I wonder if it's just for an inning, or longer (assuming the rain doesn't have a say)? He might still go in game 5 if he only throws a few pitches and skipped his throw day.

It's certainly something to consider, he may just go an inning or two recording around 25-30 pitches and still be fresh to go for a potential game 5 after an off-day. I wonder if Keuchel is available to start game 5 just in case?

 

Of course we're all hoping this isn't even something that needs consideration after today.

[G-Snarls]

Go Verlander go!

Yep!!

[Orgfiller]

Well s***

[fatcowxlive]

Lmao Sale vs. Verlander is a better matchup than Porcello vs. Morton

 

Edit: Damn Benintendi that was a towering shot

[Orgfiller]

A.J. Hinch is going to get lit up for this if the Astros don't come away with this one, probably unfairly so.

[G-Snarls]

f***

 

Benitendi another HR

 

3-2 Red Sox
