    No to Otani. HELL NO to Otani. I don't care if he's the second coming of Christ.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    That's 2 scoreless innings. I'll keep rubbing this in at least until the Astros have a big inning--if they do. Why? Because I am the only freaking person on this thread who expressed any confidence whatsoever in Fister.

    By the way, in case no one noticed--and clearly no one else has--Morton so far has shown nasty stuff and very good command of his pitches.

    This team is so damn futile.

    Morton routinely does what few--Fister may be the exception--of our starters or relievers do. He keeps the ball low in the zone--not all the time, but a lot of the time. That plus the 97 mph fast ball plus the curve plus that nasty splitter (better than a slider or changeup) makes Morton pretty tough. So far, anyway.

    Wouldn't be ironic if FISTER, of all pitchers, pitched the pennant clinching game for us.

    Fingers crossed.

    Bad pitch on the 2-0 count by Fister--a fastball slightly up in the zone which the hitter was clearly looking for.

    Ain't that something? A Sox starter besides Sale who can actually field his position. Shocking.

    So far the best pitching we have had in days.

    Good throw by Betts gets that guy going home. When is the lineup going to show they came to play? Is this how they plan to be in the postseason? Hitless and not so good supporting the pitcher?

    Unfortunately, the opposing pitcher is looking pretty good tonight.

    Wrong. It's the only pitching--by a starter--we have seen in the last five days including this one.

    This guy is a pitcher, not a thrower. The other guys--sadly, including Sale--are more throwers than pitchers. And choke artists (not Sale).

    Has anyone else besides me also noticed that Fister is conscientious about holding runners on 1b? No other starter does that as well.
