Porcello has allowed 2 runs on 4 hits and come off the mound pumping his fist twice. That sort of game. Houston 5 LOB.by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:02:51 PM

Mark Wegner took his time to call that 5th pitch a strike. He should have taken some more. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLty97VUIAAvOxT.jpg

Strike 3 to Bradley was borderline, but seemed to clip the edge. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLtzBPnVoAAT6tE.jpg
by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:15:30 PM -
Upon further review, called strike 3 looks worse on the GameDay feed. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLtzU2kUIAAD3GY.jpg

Pedrois should have gotten run there. Farrell took the charge insteadby Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:17:52 PM

Pedroia should have gotten run there. Farrell took the charge insteadby Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:18:10 PM

That outside strike is Charlie Morton’s friend. The Bradley call was worse, through. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLtz3AAUIAojyaQ.jpg
by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:19:13 PM -
Give Wegner credit for not running Pedroia. That was pretty close.by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:20:50 PM
-
Here's the GameDay feed of strike 3 to Pedroia. About the same position relative to the outside edge as Bradley's. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLt0KifW0AAl1TW.jpg

I don't buy human error as an acceptable "beauty of the game." Pitching is an act of intentional visual deception. Why judge it visually?by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:22:46 PM
-
Have to think if Sale is up, he’s coming into the game.by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:23:00 PM

-
It should be noted that Morton's execution was brilliant. He saw an opportunity to stretch the zone and did it.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:26:04 PM
-
Conspiracy theory: Wide strike zone is because of the weather and umps/MLB wanting the game to move along and avoid delay.by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:26:16 PM
-
Porcello's struggle this year - inconsistent command on the 4-seamer. Above the barrel, great pitch. On the barrel, ball goes far.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:29:40 PM
-
You figure Gattis is Porcello's last batter. Sale for McCann.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:30:14 PM
-
Sale's back up, so presumably he'll be in for McCann to open the 4th.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:35:10 PM

Astros had nine baserunners and two runs in first three innings. Team that does that usually loses.by Dan Shaughnessy via twitter 10/9/2017 6:35:25 PM -
A Betts rocket turns into a double play. Second straight year that's happened in a potential elimination game.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:36:18 PM

That’s a tough send by Butterfield, especially with Devers on deck. Too aggressive. Man, lots going on in this game.by Pete Abraham via twitter 10/9/2017 6:45:19 PM

There have been 9 starts of 3 IP or fewer this postseason, tied for 3rd most in any single postseason. The record (12 in 2011) will fall.by Alex Speier via twitter 10/9/2017 6:54:03 PM
