6/28 Red Sox @ N.Y. Yankees

[BigPapi]

You guys aren't giving Tanaka credit. He tries to K batters once they get on base. Hitters just haven't seen him a lot to adjust to him never throwing in the zone in the situation.

 

I understand that but that third strike drew swung at was baffling.

The catcher had to stand up, WTF!

[Wasatch]

Yeah Holt!

[Station 13]

Tanaka is working as slow as molasses.

[Station 13]

This Holt guy can play.

[jacksonianmarch]

He might just be. Dice-K was this good his first year too.

 

Tanaka is WORLDS better than DiceK was in his first yr. It isn't even close

[yankthis]

LOL these Fox announcers are hilarious sometimes.... what a good job Soriano did "knocking that one down enough to hold him to a double" when he lets a single turn into a double by not fielding the ball.

he'd better be. The yankees spent 175M to get Tanaka.

[Station 13]

seriously, WTF was Farrell thinking Drew hitting behind Napoli after his 1-30 performance stretch?

[BigPapi]

Interesting stat verducci

[jacksonianmarch]

he'd better be. The yankees spent 175M to get Tanaka.

 

They spent $25 mil a yr in terms of AAV for Tanaka. The sox spent $17.1 mil a yr for DiceK. Tanaka was younger and better at the time of the signing

Cool tanaka has played even better than expected. How are McCann and Beltran doing?

[Station 13]

Damn, the only player between both team with a .300 BA is Brock Holt. That's hilarious.

[VA Sox Fan]

Good challenge and call.

 

HEY OFFENSE...........................

[jacksonianmarch]

McCann has been great defensively, but an utter disappointment offensively. Beltran is a disaster. That being said, somehow we are WAY better than the sox this yr.

Have to agree with you on that one.

[VA Sox Fan]

Wow Pedey!!!!!!

[Station 13]

WAY? No you're not. You skid by thanks to some closers meltdowns.

 

The Red Sox can't do anything for their starting pitching.

[Station 13]

Mookie Betts hitting advice today on Twitter: Hit the fastball.

[yankthis]

Pedroia must have a horseshoe up his ass, to get a safe call there. Aggressive play is one thing, dumbf*** s*** is another.

[jacksonianmarch]

You're out Duddy!

[BigPapi]

Put it this way. Even if the yankees do make it to the playoffs, they don't have the starting pitching to do anything.

[VA Sox Fan]

Dammit all!

[jacksonianmarch]

WAY? No you're not. You skid by thanks to some closers meltdowns.

Through half the season, you're 7 games behind in the loss column. That's a SIZEABLE difference

[Station 13]

Pedey tries to will this team. They sucks.

[jacksonianmarch]

Put it this way. Even if the yankees do make it to the playoffs, they don't have the starting pitching to do anything.

 

We have a pen that shortens games to 5 innings. If we get Pineda back, we'll have Tanaka, Pineda and Kuroda with a lights out pen. I think we have the goods on the mound to be dangerous in the playoffs. The problem is, our offense doesn't hit good pitching

[Station 13]

Through half the season, you're 7 games behind in the loss column. That's a SIZEABLE difference

 

As you're probably know, the Red Sox are a bat away from jumping back into this. Nobody is that good in the AL East. The Red Sox have the deepest starting pitching staff.

 

And I threw up a little with De La Rosa getting demoted today.

[jacksonianmarch]

Tanaka and Lester, living up to the billing.

[win red sox]

Pedroia took a good risk there, Ellsbury probably has the worst cf arm since Damon. Bad luck.

[Station 13]

Mookie is an IF, why didn't they tried him out at SS?
