    Really wish we’d gone with McHugh. Saw this coming with Valdez.

    Fat DH who can't cover 1B ground so 2B has to come over who can't get it.
    OK, difficult play for both.

    So we go with Valdez for 2 straight innings in high leverage / close game?

    If we lose this game, it's on the defense. It's cost us at least 2 runs.

    I know some key players are injured, and I know that Fenway has its quirks with the wind and all...but I hope this is the last time we see Gurriel playing 2nd base.

    I don't mind AJ leaving Framber in there. Big cushion in the division, needs high leverage reps as the sole LHR, and trying to save the rest of the pen with no off days for a while.

    Astros need to see what they have in some of these relievers. I'm ok with it.

    They won the series and that is all that matters. Still a lot of game to go but seems like they let this game slip. Now get healthy

    Even if we do lose today, I feel very comfortable knowing that we are still the best team in baseball

    Go Astros!

    Alvarez should be getting his chance soon. Guys like White and Gurriel aren't good enough to be seen as road blocks to Alvarez getting his shot in the majors.

    Concerned about Springer though. He was on such a tear.

    Bergman's defense hasn't been great today.

    Even if the Astros lose, RedSox needed their ace to play an Altuve & Springer-less team, and get 2 gift runs (sorry but on top of the 1st inning unearned run, those dropped popups should not have been scored hits)...not too much to complain about, Astros can't win them all.

    More Sox fans present and they're all propping the Stros. They say it's Houston's year again.
