You'll notice the scorebug went away immediately after and hasn't come back.

Sonny

3:52

Say the season ends today, would you still do the Sale trade?

Paul Swydan

3:53

Grudgingly, yeah.

A good SP is borderline impossible to find on the market these days, and the Sox suck at developing them, so trade is the best route.

Show Hey O'Tawny

3:53

I’ve never actually had Taco Bell

Sonny

3:53

safest foods? c'mon Hamburglar live mas

Paul Swydan

3:54

Go to TAco Bell!

That catch was a lot harder than it should have been.

3:54

Steak Quesarito is the stuff

Paul Swydan

3:54

Yeah it is.

Matt

3:54

But Sale is cruising right now, he's not going to be available Game 5 to start...wouldn't you want want Sale to go through 8 since Game 5 will likely be somewhat of a bullpen game

Paul Swydan

3:54

You could, yeah.

Matt

3:54

If Sale is going to be unavailable for Game 5, I'd run him through the 8th

YKnotDisco?!

3:55

It's gotta be a Chalupa (supreme) for me.

Drew Pomeranz for Anderson Espinosa. Where do you stand on that deal now?

Paul Swydan

3:55

That deal was a win for the Sox. Espinosa didn't even pitch this year.

Well, Reed is warming now.

Shout outs to Paul for being the only Fangraphs playoff blogger who enables the emojis

Paul Swydan

3:56

Really? No one else does?

Fun is fun, as Millhouse Van Hooten used to say.

The Hamburglar

3:57

Astros still maintain a pitching advantage in Game 5, right? Keuchel and possibly their entire bullpen

Paul Swydan

3:57

Yes, plus they're at home.

Where they destroyed Boston.

Seriously, what is a strike?

Wegner knows he screwed up, he put his hand on Altuve's back as he started bitching.

weezy

3:58

I love the physical juxtaposition that is Sale vs Altuve

AdamZ

3:58

looked like a good pitch to me

Bill

3:58

Game Day says it's a strike FWIW

3:58

The zone called it a strike so it's a strike

Matt

3:58

That might actually have been a strike

Paul Swydan

3:58

Had to have crossed through the zone. Sure as hell didn't finish in the zone.

Or, it could just be the horrid camera angle we have. I don't know.

Wildcard

3:59

Gameday has it well inside the corner

Paul Swydan

3:59

Huh, so it does.

stever20

3:59

going to be absolutely difficult to pull Sale if he gets thru this inning.

3:59

I never know where a strike couts: when it crosses the zone or when the catcher grabs it

Paul Swydan

3:59

I think that is up for debate.

other Matt

3:59

Sale-Reed-Kimbrel?

Paul Swydan

3:59

I would think Reed is just up for in case Sale blows this inning.

Matt

Girardi just announced CC in potential game 5. Wait. What?
