Trevor Gobble

Amazing that he had a pitchers count in both the Bregman AB and the Altuve AB and chose to go up in the zone on both. I'm guessing he just missed his location on both? Either that or he was going right at them way too early

Paul Swydan

4:39

I don't remember if he missed the glove or not.

Oh wow, that was a high strike call.

AdamZ

4:39

I have no faith in the Red Sox offense to do anything this game.

Paul Swydan

4:40

Huh, I guess not. But it was outside.

Hannah Hochevar

4:40

Mookie Betts rhymes with Bernie Goetz

Paul Swydan

4:40

Thank you, Hannah.

Pat

4:40

I'm using my regular mlb.tv subscription I bought in April and I'm fine. Im also in Canada

Paul Swydan

4:40

Yeah I think international has different rules.

Well-Beered Englishman

4:41

How's your morale, Paul?

Paul Swydan

4:41

Oh, I'm fine. I predicted Astros in 4.

I'm fine with the Sox going down in flames if it means Farrell gets fired.

You can get a Sling.tv subscription for $25, allows you to stream FS1 and TBS. The MLB postseason package only gives you static camera angles for TBS games.

Well-Beered Englishman

4:42

Hey MLBTV guy: buying the postseason package gets you "alternative camera angles", tragically you need cable for the real thing. Signed, fellow sad person who does not have cable and will be spending most of this month in bars spending his October pay on beer

I mean, isn't Sale better than E-Rod? Don't we have to give him another inning or two?

Paul Swydan

4:42

He is, but how many more runs do you want to give him? 2? 2 more would be my max. Not sure the Sox offense has 5 runs it today.

I have a dense beard and it's never itchy

Paul Swydan

4:43

Everyone is different, obviously.

Ryan

4:43

Can we talk about how bad and dumb the separate subscription for MLB.TV postseason is? Paid for the regular season? Too bad. Most of the games are blacked out? Too bad, you still gotta pay. The one time of year you might convert new fans easily with exciting/high stakes games, and they're blowing it!

Paul Swydan

4:43

It'd be nice if they could improve the postseason product, but I think mostly their hands are tied by their broadcast partners.

steve

4:43

Why is the fister game a loss? Last I checked he was +2.5mph and pitching much closer to previous levels than the last two years.

Paul Swydan

4:44

He gave up like 19 runs in 10 innings in his last 4 starts. The league figured him back out.

Dustin Pedroia has never clued in to the fact that Dustin Pedroia is very very slow now.

4:45

That's bang-bang.

That run might not count.

Russell

4:45

I assume there's only a chat for this game today?

Paul Swydan

4:46

Yup, I'm the only sucker who volunteered.

Tucker

4:46

playstation vue has a free 5 day trial that includes MLBN for those looking for legal means of watching. Sling does not.

Paul Swydan

4:46

Thanks Tucker!

Andrew

"I'm fine with the Sox going down in flames if it means Farrell gets fired." Consensus opinion of all Sox fans I know (and I agree).

Daniel

4:46

Who's doing the color commentary on this? He seems terrible

Paul Swydan

4:46

Jim Kaat. He was very, very smart when I was a kid.

bosoxforlife

4:46

Pedroia usually doesn't make a stupid play like that.

Paul Swydan

4:47

Pedroia has been doing this on the bases for the better part of two seasons. He still thinks he's fast.

weezy

4:47

no run

Seth

4:47

He scores

AdamZ

4:47

Run scored.

Trevor Gobble

4:47

They won't overturn that

ChatzMcGee

4:47

Wow,..

Josh R

4:47

Even if they reverse it, that's a pretty bad play by Pedroia there, no?
