August 20th vs. The New York Yankees

[Youk Of The Nation]

Just win. Starters not announced yet on MLB.com. For the Yankees, it will probably be an *******.

Porcello vs. Gray

No probably about it.

 

JUST FREAKING WIN!!!

[Youk Of The Nation]

No probably about it.

 

JUST FREAKING WIN!!!

 

To be fair, it could also have been a douchebag, a sonofabitch, or just some f***er.

Two righties for a change, with Gray favored. Our lineup with two surprises (Holt leading off at 2b, Nunez in reserve)--

 

Holt 2b

Betts RF

Benintendi LF

Ramirez DH

Devers 3b

Bogaerts SS

Moreland 1b

Leon C

Bradley CF

 

To date Holt's OBP is .281, .111 for the last seven days, which suggests Farrell is doing this on a hunch or simply doesn't want to make anyone else lead off or perhaps he sees Holt as his reconnaissance element, the man charged with finding out what kind of stuff Gray has today.

[mvp 78]

Beni sucks at the wall.

[OH FOY]

What happened there? Benni should have had that.

[BstHcpr]

Beni sucks at the wall.

 

Agree

[Station 13]

Beni sucks at the wall.

 

Get rid of it.

[d-money]

Porcello has to keep the ball down. This offense has to hit early.

[Bellhorn04]

Get rid of it.

 

lol

[Station 13]

Ump sucks

[OH FOY]

That was smoked.

[Station 13]

Bogaerts gets a lot of cheapies.

[OH FOY]

Tell you JBJ gets a lot of key hits.

[OH FOY]

JBJ is one of the better 2 out hitters on this team with RISP.

[mvp 78]

Tell you JBJ gets a lot of key hits.

 

Also lots of key backwards k's too.

[OH FOY]

Everybody strikes out nowadays. 100 K's a season is normal now.

[Nick]

Can we just speed up the f***ing game by taking an out every time Holt is due up? Hell that ought to save 5 minutes.

[d-money]

Well porcello has a 2-0 lead to work with. Just keep pitching well plz!

[Maxbialystock]

Really dumb batting JBJ 9th. Think of all the rbi's he'd have today if he batted 3d after Bolt and Betts.

[d-money]

Come on porcello!!

[BstHcpr]

Really dumb batting JBJ 9th. Think of all the rbi's he'd have today if he batted 3d after Bolt and Betts.

 

Meh. Hindsight is 20/20.

[Hugh2]

Mega mega dumb batting JBJ 9th and Holt 1st. Holt just hasn't been the same since his concussion, this makes zero sense. I hope it doesn't cost us.

[OH FOY]

He's safe.
