The Astros/Red Sox series should be interesting. Most likely our ace won’t be available to pitch which just really sucks. LMJ brings so much fire to the team and worked so hard to get back to this after Tommy John surgery. I hope it just makes the rest of the team step up but we will see. I am definitely nervous. I feel that. Chris Sale had TJ surgery last year and still is not back to pitching like he used to. Super nervous that he’s pitching Game 1 tonight. Chris Sale has worked hard, too. I hope he is successful in his comeback but perhaps not tonight. 🤣. Baseball is such a long grind. I hate seeing players on any team getting taken out by injury. As expected Lance is not on the ALCS roster. I’m so sad for him. He’s such a competitor and this must be killing him.

The wear and tear on their arms is insane!

Whew! Game one down. Correa is insane. Kike Hernandez is insane. This is going to be some series.

Correa needs to get his teeth knocked out of his face for that looking at his watch nonsense. I don’t think that will sit well with Eovaldi.

Then you have Altuve who is like yeah I hit a home run but let’s talk about Chas.

I think any player who wants to show out a bit, especially at home, when they’ve “done good” deserves to do just that. He didn’t stare down anyone. He didn’t point at an opposing player. I mean good grief.
It was a great game, and I appreciated the passion displayed by both sides.

MH is very salty with me for scheduling our family photos during the game today. No matter that I had to schedule these is July when post season baseball was on no ones mind!

Wow. Two grand slams in two innings. I mean. Legit speechless here. The Red Sox offense is so good. However I think Garcia has been hurt for awhile and Odorizzi sucks so I expect the score to be 35-0 soon. Oof. Painful. If the Astros don’t win it all I’d rather lose to the Red Sox than the Dodgers though.

This series is like Astros vs. Kiké! If this guy could pitch it could be a one man team. 🤣

Rough outing today but love the fight they have. And honestly, coming in cold like that, Odorizzi gets props from me for his performance overall.
I don’t follow Boston closely but I think their starter today was their #1 guy so, overall, I’m not devastated with today’s game. It sucks to lose but it’s a long series.

Sounds like Luis Garcia has some sort of knee injury. Poor guy. He has such a great demeanor. Always smiling. You can’t help but root for him. His inexperience came through though because you can’t hide that. If he had been more open we may have won.
Oh well. On to Boston!

I mean... do you expect something more substantial from a guy named Joc? (Sorry I’m sure he’s vvv intelligent) I wish it wasn’t so douchy. It’d be a cute post season look.

So everyone is talking about the bad call on the check swing at the end of game 5 but KB got robbed even more on a couple awful strike calls during one of his at bats. I felt so bad for him. I hope he sticks around on the giants. It’s always a struggle because our ballpark is so hard to hit home runs in. But I need KB in my life.

We didn’t watch the game tonight, but Joc Pederson is MH’s favorite player to hate. Meaning he fully admits he’d be his favorite player if he was on our team but since he was on the Dodgers for so long, he hates him.
