Define worst? Are we saying non-pitching parks? Because Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, Coors, and Fenway all rank up there dependent on if you are a RH or LH hitter. I'm just glad they got rid of that ridiculous hill / injury in waiting in CF from years ago there. Rogers field also plays differently when the roof is open vs. closed. The old Metrodome was ridiculous, Tropicana filed is a joke on so many levels and is probably the worst of the worst parks for baseball. The ranking is endless depending on the criteria applied. I just mean worst. Like most ridiculous. Tampa's obviously number 1. Just wondering if there are any stadiums people think are more of a joke than this one. Didn't it have both the hill and a pole in CF at one point? Or am I remembering wrong? They definitely used to have a hill in Cf. Kinda wish they still did just because the absurdity of it.

Catcher and Valdez don't seem on the same page. Almost a pass ball on a curve ball right down middle that catcher clearly didn't think was gonna be the curve. Well, unlike the Red Sox, they're not used to multiple signs with a runner on 2nd. Red Sox will do that all game long every game in Houston and probably also in Boston.

Nice, Hunter.
Come on Alex, just a simple single here, please. Pretty please. With sugar on top.

Beautiful, just beautiful hitting there.

Red Sox are not going down easy in this series if they keep putting up at bats like tonight. if these at bats happen with regularity, they will roll these guys.

To be fair on that Altuve error that JDM hit, it was 112.5 mph and had a .440 xBA.

Someone needs to get fired for not challenging that. There's hardly any downside!

Should have reviewed that. I feel like Cora got too cute, thinking Verdugo could get a hit.

That's poor coaching. Should be bases juiced 1 out.

Worst Sox at bat of the game at a terrible time

Could have easily reviewed that since I think it may have hit him but I don't hate not reviewing it and keeping the bat in Verdugos hands even though it didn't work out.

I wanted Verdugo to hit there, although that was a piss poor attempt. Btw, it is an indisputable fact that Arroyo will not reach base here. I can’t stress and guarantee it enough. I’m not even going to look, I’m going to dust off my Facebook account and play FarmVille for 5 minutes.

Now that it's a commercial break, I'd say what I was thinking a few minutes ago- that's a crazy spot to let the ballboy set up a stool. Should be in front of the jutting stands.

Not getting ahead of myself. These will be long games, there will be lots of drama, lots of ups and downs, so I am just going to sit back and enjoy.
Quite an ordeal getting it onto my TV - purchased a Fubo subscription to get FS1 and Fox - tonight it won't stream over my Roku because it is in 4K, so I have it on my laptop via Fubo and streaming to my TV using Chromecast.
Didn't this used to be so much easier?

I do, it’s the playoffs and you can juice the bases for a guy who is 5-17 in the playoffs and Christian Vazquez (Mr. Clutch apparently)

Maybe it's just really hard to read a ball hit >110 mph, would love to know how the error rate increases on those.

Remember when Arroyo used to have a knack for big hits?
That was nice.
