Welcome back to the Over the Monster Podcast network, where we are recapping each game of the postseason immediately after they happen. (Well, mostly. We’ll be a day late for Game Two.) For this immediate reaction show after the Game One loss to Houston on Friday night, it’s Matt and Keaton taking you through the action.
This show started with a discussion of Chris Sale, who surprisingly got the start for this one. The lefty looked a bit better than his last few times out, and both the fastball and slider appeared crisper out of the hand, but the changeup was still nonexistent and while he only allowed one run he was in trouble pretty much all night.
