pitching was so fucking awful lol, it's funny how people are so quick to slam Menechino and ignore the fact that our top guys other than Granfail and Elroy have all performed reasonably well this series, yet Katz gets a huge pass, how is that logical ? they need coaches who these guys can relate to and will listen to and respect, we have zero coaches like that, food for thought

lmao, give me a fucking break

pick a pitch and send Robert, these singles aren't doing shit unless a guy is in scoring position

every single pitcher has been total garbage on this staff except Tepera and Hendriks, and Bummer half the time

I've seen enough

he's done, zero command

Astros are timing every single pitch he throws right now

tired of Grandals just awful ability to adjust, everyone in the ballpark knew what pitch was coming and he couldn't choke up even half an inch, fuck you dude

I haven't had any nerves this whole series bc I didn't expect much lol, 2005 my nerves were absolutely zapped though

will Sheets finally get a clue and expect every pitch to be on the upper part of the outside corner? they've pitched him there almost exclusively and he still acts surprised

can't believe TB lost to Boston

Cusack is an overpriveleged rich white dude who thinks his opinions are relevant, fuck off

I think we matchup pretty favorably with Boston plus HFA

off topic but how the fuck does Cash leave in his starter to give up 5 runs on 2 outs in an elimination game? WTF?

would be nice to see us shut them down offensively for one fucking game

16 whiffs to 22, is a 37.5% increase

on second thought, they should start Giolito tomorrow and Rodon in Houston

The Sox can beat any pitcher in baseball at their ballpark tho. I firmly believe that

It literally makes zero sense to pitch McCullers in game 4, the advantage of using him is in Houston where the Sox are 0-6 this year I don't get it, if the Sox manage to win a normal-ish game tomorrow, the pressure absolutely is on Houston in GM5

I would be shocked if Hendriks isn't available for today's game and game 5

Posted this in the game thread but don't think many saw it. I found this app called Pro Baseball Radio, and was surprised that the game last night wasn't blacked out on this app. It's a free app Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.toddbrady.proBaseballRadio Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pro-baseball-live-radio-stream/id1131246043 I had to select the WRIN AM Indiana stream fwiw

I would give everyone available 2IP, would keep the Astros on their toes, with game 5 giving Lucas full rest and guys like Bummer Tepera etc will be available

Here's Urquidy's game logs for 2021 https://www.mlb.com/player/jose-urquidy-664353?stats=gamelogs-r-pitching-mlb&year=2021 his last 3 outings haven't been dominant by any means, he's also only thrown 107 IP this year

I'll admit and apologize for believing they were getting swept last night, I've been saying it for 2 months. fucking voodoo man hit me upside my damn head with his cane
