I just don't know the AL. Feel like the Astros adding Cole should do it but Boston had a great year.

Voted Astros in 7
― Bee OK, Friday, 12 October 2018 02:26 (seven years ago)
Houston won 103 and did not have the Orioles completely tanking in their division. Red Sox are really good but I think the Astros are a bit deeper in pitching, both in rotation and bullpen. Boston have had a great year at the plate and their lineup is very deep.
It's a great matchup on paper and could make for some good games.

i hope it goes 7 but i think 6 seems about right, i'm leaning Astros.
― omar little, Friday, 12 October 2018 04:35 (seven years ago)
every time sox/stros played this year it felt like playoff baseball. this is going to be a great series. to me the astros feel like they have just a bit more of the killer instinct. and yeah i think they have the pitching edge. stros in 6, maybe even 5. so hard to say though.

Terrific game through 8 but yeah, it was weird. Two aces who had nightmare innings. The difference was at third - Bregman is just on a different level from Nunez (or Raffy, had he been playing). Until the ninth of course, but somehow it felt over before then.

I thought that pitch by Verlander was borderline...Maldonado jerked it up--maybe a strike, but I didn't think it was as clear-cut as the announcers did. Loved Verlander's death-stare at the umpire.
― clemenza, Friday, 19 October 2018 01:13 (seven years ago)
maldonado did a poor job framing, but the strike zone tbs has had it as a clear strike
― k3vin k., Friday, 19 October 2018 01:15 (seven years ago)
I won't lie: there's a big part of me right now thinking "Quit while you're ahead and get Price out of there." With some help from the ump, he looks good.
― clemenza, Friday, 19 October 2018 01:21 (seven years ago)
Brillant at-bat by Gurriel.

Next item on the pace of play programme: timeouts while Price is pitching.
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 19 October 2018 01:53 (seven years ago)
It was. (x-post)
Think I'd take Price out now--the Guriel AB drove his pitch count up, short rest, the bullpen pitches last night, he's living on borrowed time. He's been great, and if you move on, he's got something to build on. I know he's got the bottom of the lineup coming up--that's the once conceivable rationale I can see for sending him out for the fifth.
