But hey, I bet our bottom of the order gets some garbage time runs to give us hope for tomorrow when they will all go 0 for 4. 

And just cut Osuna now.

Let's be honest, the rest of the world calls this Karma.  Maybe we shouldn't have traded for a spouse beater.

If the Astros are winning this series, it will have to be at Fenway. Fuck

Red Sox stepping up and we aren’t. Hopefully this plays out like the World Series. Lost game 3 but win the series. 

We won game 3.

had hinch gone to Mccullers instead of smith, it would most likely still be tied.  

Hinch the genius wanting to play rusty pitchers.

osuna is a stud, he just got over his pitch count tonight after a long lay off.  but i'd rather have seen keuchel pitch half the game and mccullers the second half

Regardless, we were gonna have to score more than 2. And we wouldnt have. Osuna fucking blew tonight, but the real problem was the bats putting too much stress on pitching and defense. Defense collapsed in game 2. Pitching collapsed this game.

Need to recover in time to win the next two, otherwise the Red Sox will go back to Boston having won the damn series. Pitching has gone to shit.

It was time for him today. DK fucked us in a hole like usual.

Please.  He only gave up 2 ER.   This is on Joe Smith, Osuna, and the bats.

It was always likely going to be that way. No way were we going to win 3 straight here against them.

Keuchel allowed 3 hits that mattered. And two were lucky ground balls.  We pulled Keuchel too soon.

Get this loss out of the way.....

[formermav43 4606]

I thought this was best of 7, not first to 2 wins. 🙄

exactly.  we have to start finding some quality at bats. and we have to make much smarter relief decisions

[Rimbo 25921]

this sucks

[Okie State 3818]

Just felt like a loss from the very beginning today. Gotta win the next two and then see what happens.

I'm really proud of myself for not throwing the coffee table through the tv.

charlie morton, JV, and a settled down Cole, I like our chances to get to 4 wins

This. As did the last game. There was just some feel about it.

[Fudge Nuggets 19190]

Anyone else rusty that we can send out for the 9th?  Maybe get James some more work in case we need him later?

[perfectchaos007 6635]

Rondon to close tomorrow?

[cabowabo 4484]

Kimbrel was gonna be our best chance, and now we don't even get that.

Astros still have 6 outs and at Home.

Wear out the Red Sox relievers..... they can give up 6 runs in 2 innings.

Even if not.... use them up so Astros Win next two games in H-Town....

Y’all remember when everyone wanted to blow it up after the 3 games in NY last ALCS?  This team still has a lot of fight.

Last time  I checked, we were a pretty good road team

We were also better in Boston than in this game. Still have to win 1 at home though to get our road field advantage back. 

[Rockethorn1978 6077]

Morton wins tomorrow, JV is nails and cole gets redemption. We win 4-2. Book it.

I said Astros in 6.  Not exactly how I'd have drawn it up, but certainly possible.

Yep. Read it as after 3 games total. Too many beers this game. Carry on.

LOL, his last two outings were what one inning and three innings, but he is Charlie F'n Morton so I do like our chances.

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

We watched a shitload of 2-0 fastballs go by tonight.  A couple of them after the grand slam.  Hitters have not been aggressive.
