Let’s go sawx!!!!!! Creep closer.
Just checked Fox pregame. Remember, in Fox World, the Sox-Yanks rivalry ONLY extends from Ruth to Dent to Boone, and ends with Roberts' stolen base.
Eovaldi doesn't exist, and never beat New York at the Stadium, 16-1, in '18, or in the wild card game in '21. Brock Holt never hit for the cycle, Nunez to Pearce is a nothing burger, and Bogaerts and Schwarber didn't croak the great Cole.
FOX: the Playoff Deniers' channel.
Beaucoup lefty bats, everyone but Rafaela.
If the Yankees had won last night, it would not have been because they did anything right, but because Valdez screwed up the throw to 2b on a tailor-made GIDP. Because double plays are never assumed, the 3d Yankee run in the little faux-rally counts as earned. But all 3 runs were really unearned.
Cole hasn’t gone more than 5 IP nor put together any good starts since returning from the IL. However, that can and will change very suddenly…
I always keep the sound off, so am fine with whatever Fox wants to sell, including non-baseball stuff.
Also, I don't mind a little building-up of our arch-rival for, what, over 100 years? They do have 27 WS titles, but they also have fallen on hard times, which basically began right after JH became the Sox owner.
Top of the 1st wasn't all bad. Cole's pitch count was 19.
Gonna have to find a way and hit this guy. Any idea on cole’s velocity early?
Cole needed 19 pitches, but did get 3 straight outs.
Sox tend not to be good at scoring runs in the first inning. Maybe that's true of most MLB teams.
Nice pitch
His fast ball started at 94 mph, but then got up to 97 mph. I think he focused on control in the first inning.
Looks like the Yankees are able to score in the 1st inning. Winck threw that 91 mph cutter right down the middle. But then he got the popup from Soto with basically the same pitch.
Need good swings against cole.
Another cutter right down the middle to Dugo, fouled off.
I think Winck was lucky in the first inning. Yes, the dinger, but he throw a lot of pitches in the middle of the zone. Also, he threw nothing with a real break in it--no changeup, no slider, no curve. Just cutters, sinkers, and straight fast balls.
