This isn’t the same powerless 2017 Red Sox offense that the Astros beat last year. Our offense is better than theirs numbers don’t lie. We can easily comeback. Guys just relax even if we get swept we will be fine. Astros were hot coming in. The Astros have the best pitching numbers in all of baseball. Asking to get 4-5 runs off of them is the toughest task in all of baseball.

is there something to this or not? a lot of people have questioned Vazquez' pitch calling, and it does seem like pitchers get away from their offspeed pitches when they pitch to him.

Vazquez seems to have a Catchers ERA about 1 more run more then Leon. There's a good reason for it. Vazquez can catch the knuckleball really well and throws out some runners, but he really is a negative overall player imo.

it's never just one guy, so I am being unfair to Vasquez, probably more than everyone.....but last night he came in and the Stros scored 3 to go ahead 6-3.
Xander !!

Just turned the game on and the first pitch I watched was Xander’s bomb. I’m taking credit for that run.

Poyner vs the 3 righties should put how important this game really is in perspective

I really want to see Phillips at some reps at 1st. Moreland can’t hit anything right now. Maybe it’s injury related but we can’t afford another hole in the lineup against the good teams

Poyner vs the 3 righties should put how important this game really is in perspective None of these games are important really, but it's hard to see your guys not performing against a good opponent. The Sox should win at least 8-9 more times the rest of the way, the Yankees should lose 4-5 more times the rest of the way. The rest of the season is for building up Sale and giving rest to guys who need it.

I'm a big fan of Poyner, yeah nothing jumps out at you and he isn't great, but I think he's a solid middle reliever in the big leagues.

Great, the Astros have another middle reliever named James who throws 97-100 mph and pounds the strikezone. He also has a 88 mph changeup.
Seriously. Where are the Astros finding all these good pitchers from?!!!

Ohh this James guy has a nasty slider too. This is annoying. The Astros seem unbeatable when they get going.
