8/11 at Yankees

[Station 13]

Time for Eddie to Nut UP

[TylerD]

Nice early lead!

[d-money]

It would be nice if Rodriguez threw strikes!

With something other than a non competitive fastball.

[d-money]

What the f***'s Rodriguez doing?

I don't like the guy's mental makeup at all.

[d-money]

Rodriguez's really dragging this inning.

[d-money]

30 pitches for Rodriguez just to get 3 outs. Nice going a hole. Hope the offense can put up more runs.

[S5Dewey]

Too many pitches, but he got out of the inning without a run being scored.

[Maxbialystock]

Against a predominantly righty lineup, he finally threw his first changeup on pitch 27. Before that I think he threw mostly 4 seam and some 2 seam fastballs. Never a curve or a slider. Yankees are hitless, but that first inning took, what, 30 pitches?

[S5Dewey]

JBJ is worth having out there even if he only hits .220.

[d-money]

Runs plz!!!! Try and put up more runs!!

On the other hand, that was a pretty nice 2d inning. I think ERod might have done this in his last start--bad first inning, then got his control.

[d-money]

Threw 14 pitches that inning. I would stretch him to 110 pitches or more and see if he can give us 6 innings.

[Maxbialystock]

Some would say that was good, aggressive baserunning, but I say it was sheer foolishness. You don't go from 1st to 3d on a grounder to CF, and you also don't try to advance when the ball is coming into the infield.

 

Farrell has the guys way, way too pumped up. One base at a time, that's the ticket.

[Maxbialystock]

Looked like a good pitch to hit, but not for Bogie.

[d-money]

Talk about a squander. Again this team can't do the small things right

[a700hitter]

Squander have a way of coming back and biting you.

[d-money]

Come on Rodriguez!!

[mvp 78]

JBJ is worth having out there even if he only hits .220.

 

Maybe if he didn't run the bases like an idiot.

[Maxbialystock]

I swear our infielders look clueless on popups. First JBJ, now Betts have had to come practically onto the infield dirt to catch flies the infield should have had. N

[S5Dewey]

IIRC Kimbrel was the first pitcher to expose Judge's inability to hit the high hard one. At the time we thought it was because nobody could hit Kimbrels high/inside pitch but it turns out that's where the hole in Judge's swing is. Now everyone knows it.

The players certainly are to blame, but ultimately the manager has to take some flack for all the mental blunders and mistakes. Even when winning, this team seems to make at least 2 mental mistakes per game.

Aaron Judge exposed

Exactly. It's a lot of little league stuff too. Thanks, Amaro!

If this were a high school team I was watching I'd be saying that the coach needs to 'chew some ass' and talk about starting to play solid fundamental baseball.

[d-money]

Letting Jaime Garcia off the hook

[Maxbialystock]

The Sox have been lucky tonight because that Yankee lefty has way better stuff and command than ERod. His tough luck that he threw an inside fast ball belt high that HanRam looked like he was waiting for. Or just maybe the Yankees hitting isn't what it was earlier in the year.

..or tell the team the next guy who makes a mental blunder will be benched for a game.

 

This would be a joke, if it wasn't my team out there looking like the early bad news bears.

[d-money]

Rodriguez at 76 pitches. Maybe he can give us 6. We will see.
