    Truly in awe at all of the bases loaded walks and passed balls wild pitches etc this series.
    And just in general in all of these games.

    Well, Verlander and Cole are going to have to pitch complete games the next 2 apparently...and Keuchel too...and another ball...they aren't biting. STop.

    Why would you bring in such an erratic pitcher with the bases loaded !?

    Ugh so frustrating. I don't blame Hinch at all, it looks like many of our guys just don't quite have it and as much as I hate the spoiled Boston sports nation, they are just really playing better, no excuses.

    We don't win walking batter after batter.

    We don't win allow wild pitches.

    And we certainly don't win with the umps against us.

    Need several things to change quickly.

    I should have been asleep an hour ago, I'm really getting irritated thinking I might be wasting sleep just to see a loss

    Bring in McCullers with the bases loaded was questionable. You could just feel a cheap run coming on. Just doesn’t feel like it’s meant to be tonight.

    Curveball not working? Lets keep going back to it with the bases loaded.

    How about a fastball or changeup?

    Make your own luck. Astros thoroughly outplayed so far.

    Lance goes out and we need strikes throws ball after ball after ball.

    ****ing joke.

    We’ve gifted them so many runs with walks and hit by pitch.

    **** all of this.

    Putting in a pitcher who is scared to throw strikes with the bases loaded just killed any hope the Astros had.

    Nope, they made really really dumb mistakes. You cant be making mistakes like these in the dam playoffs.

    Astros have just not been good enough up to this point. Gotta give the Sox credit. They have been the better team overall from managing, execution, hitting, etc.

    I would put Keuchel in the pen he’s not a power pitcher.
