A lot of people thought this would be a slug-fest series so the bats are our only hope then hopefully the team is up by the time it makes it to the back end of the bullpen. The starters this series have been pitiful and getting down so many runs is no good. That's actually a win that Greinke got out of that inning with just 2 runs. That's what it's come to.
Yeah I think you have to send him back out there just because we are so thin. He’s got the 8 and 9 coming up anyways. You get him through 2 with 2 runs and that’s a win.
Remember it's only the Astros that can cheat. Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox it's called "smart hitting" and "patience at the plate".
It's cool that the FoxNow app has the live bullpen cam available for both pens .. unfortunately there has been a lot of activity in the Astros pen to watch lately
Throw strikes Zach. They are not swinging at anything outside the zone and home plate umpire isn’t giving you calls. Greinke has to go back out for the second and see how he maneuvers the second and third inning. The heart of the order for the Sox will be back up by then but he may get through it if he actually throws strikes. The pitch to Devers was a mistake. The issue isn’t homers, it’s giving them up with runners on.
