    And everyone on the Astros is throwing batting practice.

    After seeing just how suspect our win was, and the insane circumstances sorrounding our losses. Methinks "flipping the switch" is code for "following the script"

    If you have any pride to you at all, you don't lay down like this 2 games in a row. Just shocking.

    This pitching staff is a joke top to bottom without Lance and Verlander. Click should get all the blame for this catastrophe on the mound, not Dusty.

    Maybe Greinke’s eephus will fool the Sox tomorrow. Nothing seems to be working tonight.

    Has every Sox player who walked scored on a home run? It feels like it.

    it’s not laying down when you don’t have the arms - most these guys never pitched this many innings and or first time in playoffs

    It's such a laugher they are able to take their best hitter out for the rest of the night for rest. Can't remember the Astros getting nailed like this in the playoffs.

    Our 3 starters in this series have combined for 5.1 IP 13 hits, 8 walks and 13 earned runs.

    Absolute disgrace.

    Granted but, there's no law against hitting is there ?

    There was no reason for it at that stage, either.

    You see that double play, Altuve? That’s how you convert one.

    playoff baseball is so crazy. one play ends your whole night.

    also, if Bregman wasn't injured, or trying not to get injured, he gets to that foul ball..

    oh boy.

    Don’t remember all the scores in 2018, but they handled us with ease then too in a couple of the games if I recall.

    Yeah true that series was a laugher after the first couple of games.

    Yeah it is what it is.

    Just gotta go into tomorrow like it's a new series. Winning game 4 means it comes back to Houston at least.

    But if you can go into game 5 with a 2-2 series then it feels like a new series, forget the past 4 games, best of 3.

    This team is too good to lose 3 games in a row...right? Right!?
