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