Red Sox at Astros, 8/21/23

Tucker…full up…foul…flies out to LF

King Tuck reaches on catchers interference.

Tucker ruled catchers interference

Bases drunk, nobody out for Yordan

Now would be a great time for MVP Yordan to return.

Yordan with a sac fly

On that first replay something very very very tiny flew away on that swing. Don’t know if it’s part of the mitt or what

That was a positive swing by Yordan. Drove the ball the opposite way.

Chas grounds to 3B, easy double play ball, but Devers throws it away. TE5

Bases still juiced for Diaz

Boston doing a proper Astros impersonation this inning

The Astros have received two gifts this inning. They have to take advantage.

Diaz hacking…0-2…strikes out swinging at slop

Yainer, you do not have to swing at everything.

Few things make me laugh harder than declarative statements like this in the GZ.

Not only do they not have to, they’re probably going to shit their pants instead. Haven’t you been watching?

Peña…grounds out 5-3

Astros leave the bases loaded with the rare 0 for 4 w/RISP in a single inning. They do plate a run though

After one…3-1 Sox.

Just like that.

1-out single

So Javier can only throw the ball 3 ft over a batter’s head, or belt high down the middle.

Followed by a walk.

Javier is fucking toast already.

This has been true for the entire summer.

At this point, I don’t know how they make, much less go deep in the postseason without an effective Javier.
