GDT: Astros vs Red Sox, 9/9/2018

[m240]

You just have to tip your hat to Mookie, both he and JD are having mvp type years.  

[unionstation82]

Betts is hitting like the old Altuve.

[bannedfan]

I know he was out for awhile but since June 18th Correa has 1 homer.

[bannedfan]

Better keep it close Keuchel.

[unionstation82]

White’s contact seems to have decreased a bit the past few games.

[paastrosfan]

Nice play by Reddick holding it to a single.

[bannedfan]

Keuchel leaving pitches up.

[bannedfan]

Nice dp😎

[paastrosfan]

Lead to a DP.

[unionstation82]

Man, quicker innings, please.

[paastrosfan]

Brian just missed it.

[paastrosfan]

Got one to drop in.

[paastrosfan]

Josh swinging through good pitches.

[unionstation82]

Reddick needs to sit. Enough is enough.

[bannedfan]

Reddick has 41 RBI’s. Last year he had 82.

Average at .239.

[paastrosfan]

Almost caught the Sox napping there.

[unionstation82]

Altuve will swing at an outside pitch unless it’s going to be a strike.

[astrosdoug]

Not sure what to think about McCann stealing... it was cute when he did it last year, but he has to know his chance of success if far less than 50%. Why take a silly risk like that when you are down a run? If the Astros are ahead by 8 I could care less.

[m240]

every game this series has been a grinder and that is exactly what you would expect.  We can get into their pen in the 7th so we gotta keep it close so that we can do our late inning magic.  We need to sweep.

At least Altuve leads off. Whenever McCann is the leadoff man on base, it’s both good and bad. It’s good that he’s a body that can score on a homer, but it takes a lot to drive him in.

[unionstation82]

Keuchel in trouble now.

[paastrosfan]

That pitch was on a tee.

[unionstation82]

That was a killer. Keuchel is no match.

[ɮօʀȶǟʐ]

Game over.

[bannedfan]

This one is about over. Keuchel leaving pitches up.

Keuchel is a guy who isn’t very likely to avoid giving up a few runs against good teams so if the offense isn’t killing it, it’ll be a long game. The baserunners he allows sets up bad innings. It doesn’t help that good hitters can beat shifts with his low-velocity pitches.

Keuchel is a guy who isn’t very likely to avoid giving up a couple runs against good teams so if the offense isn’t killing it, it’ll be a long game.

The difference from the old Dallas to the present.

He’s also a pitcher that the Astros won’t resign.

He just doesn’t fool good hitters as much anymore. The amount of money he’ll want won’t be worth it. The old Keuchel has been gone for too long to warrant a big contract.
