Can we not have interviews during the Red Sox at bats? Espn’s Baseball coverage stinks. It is truly the worst. I watch with the sound down.

Giving away outs to the other team. Giving free bases to the other team.

I have zero objectivity with regard to Alex Rodriguez. I’m pretty sure he’s a terrible announcer, but if he was the next Vin Scully and I wouldn’t be able to tell. Everything he says is annoying.

No body out. Two men on. Heart of the order. Wonderful.

Wow what a pitch to strikeout Bregman. So much movement.

I don't know. Mendoza would be good at her job if she was- A) wearing a muzzle B) standing behind home plate with less clothes on She's the worst.

Got to give Porcello credit. He's flat out painting and making pitches tonight. He's been nasty.

Nice work by Porcello there. Striking out the side in impressive fashion.

Porcello isn't usually this pin point. He definitely got up for this game.
He's made some of nastiest pitches on the black tonight.

Black hole in the line up eats another promising inning.

Yet another 100+ mph out for the good guys. Getting ridiculous.

Huh. So what happened to Charlie Morton that he suddenly became a 10 K/9 pitcher when he came to the Astros at age 33? He averaged under 7 in his career before that. The Astros changed things mechanically with Morton. They also told him to drop the 2 seam fastball completely and throw the 4 seam instead. It's added 3-4 mph on average in his fastball. It's made him dominant. They seem to improve all their pitchers when they get on the staff. I would like to believe this, it sounds very reasonable. This guy was around for quite a bit and was pretty much below replacement level for his career.

It would save them in terms of prospects and money.

BTW, the beginning of this thread was just great. All the concern about Houston. It is tough being a fan sometimes and we have been so spoiled this year, it is funny when posting goes off the rails a bit. It is part of what makes this site great.

It's even more fun to see the Sox change the trends to a positive too. Holy hell Benny.

Xander is not.
