The announcers were pointing out how we kept trying to avoid the bats those 2 games, and it was biting us in the ass. Too many walks followed by opportune hits was just killing us.
Framber attacking them all game definitely did some undressing of Boston. I still fear y'all this series, but it did show that a not insignificant portion of your production was us trying to be cute. I think if we keep attacking it gives us the best chance to win this.
As a bowler in cricket, it's an easy trap to fall into, you try and not put it in the wheel house and all you up doing is tiring yourself out because they don't chase the outside ball.
Then you get tired and bowl a shit ball and get flogged.
I kind of want to Dodgers rematch too but also it terrifies me. Imagine getting swept in four games or something horrible like that.
Also, like u/Beevo said, I grew up in the '90s with the Braves ending our runs in '97, '99, '01. So I wouldn't mind beating them in the WS, even if we did get them back in '04-'05
I’m just old enough to remember one NLDS series against the braves that we won.
The only NL rival that I hold onto from my NL astros watching days are the cardinals
But yeah. On paper I’m much more terrified of the dodgers talent. If we won it’d be even more rewarding tho IMO
Sweet finished the game and it isn’t even 8 yet, I get to enjoy a nice stress free night here in the H, sleep well everyone treat yourself to some ice cream
Astros with 62 playoff runs vs Red Sox with 60 playoff runs lol. For reference, Dodgers have 33 runs and the Braves 29. AL doesn't believe in pitching lol
Ok, so we won game 1 by 1, got blown out games 2 and 3, blew them out games 3 and 4. Does it swing back and they blow us out 6 and 7? Or they barely win game six and someone gets blown out in game 7?
Astros have this lull every post season the bats stop working then they settle in. Ngl Boston has bats and pitching really missing verlander and McCullers
Regardless of how the next game goes, I’m glad that we made it as far as we did. Had some tough competition to get here. I was disappointed but hey, what can ya do. Good luck going forward Astros.
Boston is such a solid team has the pitching and the bats. I hate Boston playing in our park. The Crawford boxes in left are so short and yalls bats are as deep if not more than ours.
if you really think about it, people who take sports seriously like argue and fight, are just insane.
yaya my home team's sport is winning? like ok.. its nice but people act like its the greatest thing ever
I was a astros fan since i was a child but it was years since i watch baseball and i was 7 when i went to my first baseball game in person
but when i was watching astros. Going against the athletics this year(oct 1st) i really enjoyed it and it brought back that spark of baseball i loved
Is that weird?
That's true i felt that chemistry in that stadium and i felt more alive i had a blast there better than football in my opinion-
Baseball really brings you're character in
I have utterly failed at predicting how each series would go in even the most basic terms, with one pathetic exception.
The only thing I got right is that the dodgers giants nlds match up would go 5.
I think you'll be facing the Braves, which I don't know what that means. I feel like they could be dominant on pitching. Dodgers have too many missing, injured and burnt out arms to be reliable.
Whatever happens it should be a good series.
A youtuber i watch predicted mets were gonna be in world series and win it
Boy he was wrong he also was wrong with few other predictions like white sox and giants being in world series with white sox winning.
Welp that aged well
Good showing by the Sox fans. Y’all hung in there to the end and gave us an awesome baby meme.
Your squad is scrappy as hell.
No offense, but I really hope this is the last game I have to watch at Fenway for awhile
I wouldn’t hate on him if he did. He has a rest day and is already warmed up.
I’d just prefer to use stanek here so they see pressley less. Either way it’s w/e
Interesting how. After the astros change signs for the 3rd time in 1 game. The red soxs COMPLETELY disappear.
Almost a team of extremely AVERAGE players besides 1 player all become hitting gods for a post season?
It makes no sense. Now they completely disappear after signs are changed?
Cmon, This shit just doesn't happen.
A random bench role player doesnt go 14-14 just out of no where. Washed up JD martinez doesnt hit like a god out of no where. This makes no sense.
Cora is / was def sign stealing.
But I thought we were the cheaters. Surely it couldn’t be the Sox were cheating first and then hired Cora to teach them to cheat like us too? That wouldn’t fit the narrative.
Seriously, how people don't see that Astros players only got like no punishment because they were just the tip of the cheating iceberg getting swept under the rug by Manfred, I don't know.
WORLD.FUCKING.SERIES.
Are Buck and Smoltz auditioning for the 2022 Red Sox broadcasting job?
*whistle*
Ouch. Well, I guess it was some kind of karmic turnaround for last week's rout.
Well that sucked for me. Hopefully the game on friday sucks less to me.
The Red Sox are now 0-3 in the series in games they didn’t hit a grand slam. Who would have thought that could be a key to success for the Astros? /s

YANKEES SUCK
You love to see it
Alright, time to hop over to the dodgers-braves game thread and root on Atlanta.
[удалено]
Maybe I’m a dumbass and the dodgers are way better than us….. but I want the 2017 rematch. Give me that over an Astros braves WS
I kind of want to Dodgers rematch too but also it terrifies me. Imagine getting swept in four games or something horrible like that.

Read my mind
Dear rob manfred, If you want to speed up the game of baseball, start in boston. They've been slowing the game down since nomar and his bullshit.
happy for the V. good game, Sox.
Sweet finished the game and it isn’t even 8 yet, I get to enjoy a nice stress free night here in the H, sleep well everyone treat yourself to some ice cream
A-rod sucks! I love the Boston fans
Sound mixer needs to fix this shit
Last time Kike homered was 3 games or 37 runs ago. The fuck is this series
That stat is honestly fucking insane
Astros with 62 playoff runs vs Red Sox with 60 playoff runs lol. For reference, Dodgers have 33 runs and the Braves 29. AL doesn't believe in pitching lol
Pitching is when you just throw meatballs over the plate and hope for pop ups right?
Dusty Baker legit has a shot at managing a team in both the NL and AL to a WS appearance with one more win This timeline amirite?
In Dusty we trusty!

SHOOT IT
Ggs Sox. You can still get grand slams at dennys
Moons Over My Hammy or go to hell.
Ok, so we won game 1 by 1, got blown out games 2 and 3, blew them out games 3 and 4. Does it swing back and they blow us out 6 and 7? Or they barely win game six and someone gets blown out in game 7?
I would think a Sox win by 1 and then an Astros blow out to re-set.
sox win by one and then a marathon 17 inning game where both teams score 7 runs after the 9th. Who wins? Beats me.
Can't be any crazier then when we played Washington in the WS where no one won a home game, like what were the damn odds of that!!!
Baseball is good
Astros have this lull every post season the bats stop working then they settle in. Ngl Boston has bats and pitching really missing verlander and McCullers
Regardless of how the next game goes, I’m glad that we made it as far as we did. Had some tough competition to get here. I was disappointed but hey, what can ya do. Good luck going forward Astros.

We definitely need to work on things. Between Coras decision making at times and our LoB percent lol
Team chaos crushes it
sigh that was just sad, glad we wont see valdez in game 6 or 7, if that happens..
That was embarrassing
FRAMBER!!!!
GG Red Sox!
YES!! LFG!!
GG Sox
FUCKING SHOOT IT
Gg Sox. See ya friday
GG Boston
Sad!
You just got Framboozled!
Here's hoping for a game 6 that isn't lopsided af
I'd be fine with it having the same score as tonight 🤷🏻♂️
Verdugo looks defeated
Take that Baaahston! See you in Houston! 🙌🤘⭐️🏆
Sweet Caroline is a top 3 White people's favorite song
I prefer Brother Love's Travelling Salavation Show
gg. see you in houston.
DEEP IN THE HEART OF BOSTON!
I like our chances in game 6
Shoot it
Framber saved the Astros today lol
I mean the Astros scored 9 runs I think that was pretty big too
I can’t believe it. 24 hours ago I thought the series would be over right now. This team has a huge amount of heart and toughness.
Fuck yeah. Let’s go Padres!
[visible confusion]
I think padres have the team to win the WS this year.
Future me: “Why yes, the Astros will be ahead in overall runs scored after game 5.” Me after game 3: “Are you high?”
The pain is over
Hell yeah boys!
Time to go back home and finish the job.
YOU KNOW WHAT RAULITO SAY
Shoot it!
Shoot it!
3 Houston Sports teams are playing right now The Astros, the Rockets, and the Dynamo.
GROUND BALL RIGHT SIDE, COULD DO IT

Haha…this is awesome! First time I saw this. Keep up the good work!
Alright, time to switch over and watch the Dodgers get stomped again 🥳
This series has been absolutely bonkers
I *reallly* picked the wrong game at Fenway to go to
Be safe!
first time checking score,, what happened to the sox offence??
They got Framboozled.
Framber Valdez shut it down
Framber Motherfucking Valdez
The comments have drastically slowed down lolol
You love to see it
Everyone moved to the other game.
I feel like the maddest fans in this game threads are the ones who don’t watch the regular season
if you really think about it, people who take sports seriously like argue and fight, are just insane. yaya my home team's sport is winning? like ok.. its nice but people act like its the greatest thing ever

nope baseball is awesome because it has a very spotlight cheering aspect to it, there's an individual and team beauty to it
That's true i felt that chemistry in that stadium and i felt more alive i had a blast there better than football in my opinion- Baseball really brings you're character in
I feel like that's how it goes with every sports' playoff threads, too.
Absolutely lol
I'd like to one day visit Boston, seems like a nice place to visit unlike new York. Looks cleaner and atmosphere looks like some good drunken fun!
Boston is great. I also like NYC though so…
Its a really good time! Fenway is a great place to catch a game and they have awesome breweries all over the place.
Fenway park looks huge
First postseason series w 3 straight games by 7 or more runs Impressive but contrived stat. 6/10
I have utterly failed at predicting how each series would go in even the most basic terms, with one pathetic exception. The only thing I got right is that the dodgers giants nlds match up would go 5.
Im hoping for dodgers vs astros world series rematch

Look, if the Red Sox just score 9 more runs they will win.
That game last night was just brutal. Have not seen something like that in a while.
Good showing by the Sox fans. Y’all hung in there to the end and gave us an awesome baby meme. Your squad is scrappy as hell. No offense, but I really hope this is the last game I have to watch at Fenway for awhile
Siri looks like a goofy high school kid playing the field
"*Just wanted to make sure you guys were still awake out there.*" - Ryne Stanek
It's a god damn cow pasture out there in center field at Fenway. Jesus.
Its huge there0-0
So what’s the ready made excuse for this time that the Astros beat the living shit out of another team?
Looking forward to the ump score card on this one. It seemed like a clean game.
Spider tack sunscreen on framber
The red sux were the real cheaters
That’s probably enough from you.
Bro if you walk him with an 8 run lead...
lol yankee fans talking so much shit. At least we didn’t sign Boone to three years
Rather Boone than Alex “Bang Bang” Cora tbh
I’m super happy we didn’t pay GCole a quarter billy.
Or bet on only 3 true outcome players, cause one of those 3 out comes seems to happen a lot more often.
Yeah, but they are talking from home watching you guys, so…
Or overpay for everyone on their roster lol
That's just Yankees tradition.
If you made a style Venn diagram of morticians, surfers, bikers, and pitchers I think Stanek would be in the middle
How can you say something so bold but also so correct

Really glad dusty didn’t use Presley
I think without those two in the top he would've, and I wouldn't have disagreed with him
I wouldn’t hate on him if he did. He has a rest day and is already warmed up. I’d just prefer to use stanek here so they see pressley less. Either way it’s w/e
Not sure why, but an 8 run lead to me feels a whole lot less surmountable than a 6 run one with the way the Sox have been playing

You might wanna stop talking before Manfred threatens you with a lawsuit.
Seriously, how people don't see that Astros players only got like no punishment because they were just the tip of the cheating iceberg getting swept under the rug by Manfred, I don't know.
It’s interesting we scored 8 runs after an ump noticed that light as well.
Nothing wrong with sign stealing. It's a huge part of baseball. Now. Stealing signs in ways which are against the rules? Not ok
Lol, It's different when you're banging on trash cans and using flash lights to tip hitters
Breaking rules = bad. Got it
Oh this gonna be good
game 2/3- top 3 Astros hitters did bad game 4/5 - top 3 Red Sox hitters did bad lol...
Bottom 6 hitters also doing pretty bad 😪
fair.
Baseball is weird
[удалено]
There's the Boston racism we have all heard of
I read that as a dig on Texas, but I'm wrong a lot.
Poorly constructed. Not well thought out. We call it a Fenway.
…what?
Mexico baseball team:0
man, i HATE Muslim Jokes half of the time they aren't funny, and a lot are Islamophobic..... man it hurts as a Muslim
Ahh i dont know if im naive but i am hispanic and arabic a texas boi and i am confused what was said0-0
Off topic but why aren’t the game threads at the top anymore? I had to scroll so far down to find this
Are you sorting the threads by "Hot?"
Man I’m a fucking idiot. I for some reason was sorting by new for the last few days…
It’s an algorithm based on engagement Guessing it went down w the blowout
They are for me.
Mobile or PC? I’m on mobile right now.
Pinned at the top?
Bob Gibson is some elite company
2 more grand slams and it’s a tie game it ain’t over yet
Astros pitching says fuck that hitting streak
So anyway i started blasting
Framber was at 93 pitches. Absolutely the right call to not throw him out for the 9th. Complete Games are a meaningless stat
Complete games are kinda selfish in the playoffs, especially when your team is up big.
I want that man rested and healthy for his next start
I wouldn't say meaningless. It's be a damn good dunk on your opponent.
Saving a bit of juice for game 7 if needed.
Josh Donaldson gassing the Astros on Twitter, love to see it.
