    Couldn’t get a lead off to start the inning. Altuve is quiet. Walking Bregman to get to Yuli and Yuli not making them pay. They look happy to get a split.

    That’s doesn’t mean squat in baseball. Hell we are a better road team.

    James Flames just induced one of the worst swings you'll ever see.

    Reminiscent of Justin-Frasier last year playoff.

    Plate protection's importance is elevated on a staff full of pitchers with high spin rates like the Astros have. It becomes a lot more relevant when you have to stop nasty curveballs from McCullers, McHugh, Verlander, etc.

    And Martin simply can't do it effectively.

    Astros did what they were supposed to do and got one game. Now they do need to get game one in Houston otherwise the pressure will be on

    Sucks to be missing Game 3 as I'll be at a football game that starts at 6:00, hoping to maybe catch the last few innings of an easy Astros win.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the format 2-2-1-1-1?

    Was hoping Correa or Marwin could get on so we’d have Springer and Altuve in the 9th.

    Astros been playing some sloggy baseball up at Fenway.

    He's very good, but Astros served him last postseason.
