The pitching was always was going to be the downfall. b****ing about 100 wins when the Astros did not have starting to be that type of team. At best, they had a 1-#3 starter and a #4. The rest were #5s. The playoffs is where this shows up. It was a good season, but face it. The Redsox are better. Redsox in 5.
No, they lost 3 in a row plenty of times this season. What they haven’t done in months either is put up a sizable winning streak.
Boston won by 2, 3, 6, and 3 Stros lone win was by 5 One of those losses was the botched call against Altuve which would've scored multiple runs, but instead was an out This year's series has really sucked and I'm not optimistic. We have no pitching
Just stop it. Our starters are not trash. You don't pitch a full season with an era better than anyone on the red sox and expect to get shelled. Weird things happen in baseball, like knowing what pitch is coming...
Dusty is clearly managing us to a loss... You can't yank your starters for trash bullpen arms and then burn them out... At let the bullpen get rest, they aren't doing better as much as you've beaten them dusty.
Walks are not professional pitching in the playoffs.......you got to throw strikes..... I guess we gotta hope Grienke jumps in the way back machine. DD
I was worried I was going to miss game 6 and 7 as I’m busy Friday and Saturday night but now I might now have to worry about that
On the plus side, if Hernandez can hit like Ruth then so can Maldanado... hard for us to lose then.....
praying Astros come back to make it interesting in the series or they will point to that "it's my time taunt" until the end of time. If Correa leaves the Astros it wont matter to me then.
by all means . its not unreasonable to get good performances from zach and framber the next 2 games (javier too ) if the offense can get a bit hotter then we can put up 2 wins in a row easy. then just have to hope kiddy or garcia or jake arent as bad .. or throw Z on short rest
This series is over. Yeah, I know, there's still up 2-1 but I see no way the Astros making a miracle comeback like the Rockets did in 94 and in 95 when they were down 2-0 or 3-1 in the best of 7 series. If the Astros do manage, I'LL EAT MY OWN ****!!!!
WTF - put it in someone's EAR HOLE....get em off the dish, start PLUNKING - they are too comfortable. DD
