    Was Dever’s HR a Crawford box special?

    And Altuve at DH instead of on the field.

    To Darling credit he said the ball had no chance to go out.....we could see that Betts jumped for a little showboat effect....

    Alex 0 -8 in the last two games against mediocre pitchers. Stros best hitters choked.

    If fully healthy, we have the better team. Just not a good series for us, especially with the umps being as one sided as they were

    What a choke. What else is there to say?

    I wish I had confidence in the Rockets but I do not.

    I can’t take the texan seriously.

    The Coogs have an awful coach and will go nowhere with him.

    The Astros were our only shot and they failed to show up.

    I know a lot here have confidence in the Rockets and think they wil win it all. I would love to feel that way.

    This game is over. I can't be bothered to watch the rest, pains me to see them show no fight at all. I hope I am proven wrong and I wake up tomorrow to find that we won.

    it's not easy running it back in the mlb . even the 90$ yankees took a year off in 1997.
    we got 2019, 2020 and 2021. No more bum knees and bad backs. acquire a sexy DH and a have kyle on a tex mex diet.

    You don’t want to see Mookie Blaylock grinning from ear to ear in a close-up angle while the TBS guys crank one out in the booth?

    Time for the Astros to show up against these piss poor Boston relievers. Do something!

    Can't really blame them with how blatant it's been against them. They fought hard but it catches up to you eventually

    Sox on the verge of winning 4 straight so no excuses really. Yes this series would be closer if umps were better but the Sox have been the overall better team in this series. You can't play the way the Astros have played up to this point and beat a team that won 108. Astros at their best is the best in baseball but they have been far from it this series.

    It's pretty crazy, every single break they get.

    Not even our championship run was like this, we had to sweat, we had key errors and mistakes that cost us games, we pushed through it. These guys just get every call, every bounce of the ball, everything.

    Should have known we were going to lose this game once that strike wasn't called then the next pitch was a HR. Should have known then.

    Ah well. ALCS is going to go through the Red Sox, Yankees, and Stros for probably the next 5 years or so minus the odd team or odd injury or odd seeding.

    We'll be a top 5 team next year I think with another shot at a WS title. Can't ask for anything more than that. Super hard to repeat in the MLB as history shows. We should still be proud of this team is what I'm saying. This sucks and I'd rather go out in an epic 7 game series that comes down to the last AB but with how lucky the Red Sox have been (and how good they are in the first place) just wasn't going to happen.

    If we got a few bounces and calls our way this would at the very least be a 6 game series...
