Title: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 14, 2018, 12:28:03 AM
Down 1-0, not jumping ship on this team. Price vs Cole- Yes, the big monkey in the room is David Price who is 0 for 10 in postseason. Lets hope he laid all of his eggs and is now ready to lay some golden one’s....win this game and we need only one in Houston to get back to Fenway as there are 3 in a row there. If Price continues his display of choking when it counts, we face a daunting task of winning two in Houston- Even that is possible though and we have seen the Sox come back from 3-0 to the Yankees and also just witnessed our team going into NY and winning both games to knock them out-

If you are religious, say a prayer for price tomorrow...one amazing game and our fans will shower him praise....Going out in a limb, Sox win 9-3 and Price leaves in 7th.....

The Price needs to be more then right tomorrow- Go Sox!

I'm not religious nor watch the Sox much, but I'll say a prayer.  That third baseman blows, but otherwise, I believe in Baahhstin.

Offense needs to rattle their starter... We ain't getting anything done if we ain't hitting anything.

Bullprn must wake up... If we lose game 2, this team ain't coming back in Fenway because they don't have the toughness to get back from a 2 - 0 or 3-1 deficit.. I just don't see it... We are only good when we are ahead.

Post by: rocknrollforyoursoul on October 14, 2018, 04:08:55 AM
I expect more of the same crap from Price. And more terrible offense from Boston. And an 0-2 deficit. Pessimistic, sure, but that's how I truly feel.

This is Price’s chance to be the ace stopper we signed him to be.  All playoff losses and grumpiness are forgiven if he delivers tonight.

Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 14, 2018, 07:41:25 PM
Got 2 runs, would have preferred at least 3...he was rattled..with bases loaded, one out and 2 runs in, you want to see a few more...Bradley been invisible so far...Kinsler had horrible three pitch at bat
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BitterJim on October 14, 2018, 07:53:01 PM
Those two runs are on Bogaerts
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 14, 2018, 07:53:41 PM
wow...lazy play by shortstop allowing man to beat it out and of course we react with horrible pitch that smashed...now 2-2... so far in post season, during times of adversity, we seem to fold...with big lead no problem but aftwr bad fielding plays we crumble like year old bread
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 14, 2018, 07:55:25 PM

Absolutely..lazy play but fierce Price doesnt help by serving up golf ball after

Gotta be sharper. Bottom line.

The talent is here. Gotta battle like that 2013 team did against the Tigers.

Lots of thing will go against us. Gotta grind till the results are in our favor.

Game 3 on Tuesday? Who the he'll is putting together this schedule! 7:00 game when the Pats play at 8:30, and 5 when the Cs open their season at 8.

It's like they don't want Sox fans watching the end of the games
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2

Looks like it's time to put on the Pats

big hit and big injury perhaps..ouch..hope he is ok
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BringToughnessBack on October 14, 2018, 08:27:27 PM
Back to price...closest comparison I can have is Fran Tarkenton in super bowls but at least Fran won playoff games....Imagine if Paul Pierce would get to playoffs and average 10 a game and keep losing....

Hope we score 15 tonight and we wont remember the first four runs.....But I have lost optimism for him ever getting it in the big one’s

He's only at 54 pitches through 3, so 5 isn't out of the question (and he looked good while pitching with a lead, until Bogaerts made the inning longer). We just need like 3 more runs to make it secure
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BitterJim on October 14, 2018, 08:39:30 PM
It seems like Price keeps pitching to not lose instead of pitching to win. That's not good
Title: Re: Sox vs Astros, Game 2
Post by: BitterJim on October 14, 2018, 08:42:04 PM
63 pitches after 4, he can easily make another inning. He just needs to stay aggressive

He moved from outhouse to doghouse after that fourth...good pitching! I agree, we need to keep scoring

Even with two outs and a lead in fifth, he folded..win was closest ever for him..ugh...The mental issue is scary..Elway once had it and he overcame it...maybe another chamge of scenery..he needs a ghost whisperer pitching coach or mental coach..hypnosis

So there is absolutely no chance Price gets the win now?

Yup. You have to pitch 5 innings as a starter to be eligible

It's one of those kind of odd rules, like the 3 inning save rule

Wow, this is some really sloppy pitching. No hits or errors and we score a run

If he throws a ton of strikes like tonight and vs the Yankees, he might not need to throw too many to get through 5 or 6

Many things can get you checked in from that description. I do know that there has been a tough stomach flu going around the Boston area lately, several people in 3 separate Boston area hospitals who I work with all have come down with it the past week. If its that, then he'll be fine in a day or two.
