Bought two blasters today of 2018 Topps baseball and here's the breakdown regarding Astros vs. Bosox:
Astros 5 (Correa, Altuve, Bregman, Reddick, Fiers) Bosox 2 (Bradley, some reliever)

Good luck! This could get expensive for you if they make the World Series.

A shame the Astros are playing 2 teams tonight.

You got that right... A little over exuberance on the part of the home fans in this one.

Neither broadcaster mentioned that Betts mistimed closing his glove and wouldn't have caught it anyway. But those fans should be more into the game and realize how close they are to the play and just be prepared to react to the defender missing the catch.
Wow! Bradley's on fire! And that Boston reliever was Rodriguez from my 2018 Topps pull today.

That game was insane. It took me forever to fall asleep afterwards.

Two out hitting has been key, and Bradley should be LCS MVP if they hold on and win. I don't think they win without his hitting.

Bradley has been amazing. His play at the plate was infuriating the first half of the year. Then I see stretches like this and have no clue how to feel. Players that go on extreme streaks make sports stressful.
Hats off to an amazing Houston team. I don't think there is a scoring margin that would make me feel comfortable that the Red Sox are safe against them. It's been a fun series. I hope it ends tonight because I'm not sure I can handle many more of these Kimbrel saves.
I honestly don't know what to think about the interference call but I was impressed by Hinch's response to reporters when they kept bringing it up.

A great series by two classic franchises. I personally am for the Red Sox, having walked around Fenway park several years ago on a trip to New England.
