9/3 Sox vs. MFY

[S5Dewey]

That one is going to get turned around

[Thunder]

Safe

[bowman]

Umps are homers too...

[S5Dewey]

Athletic move by JBJ to keep his leg in contact with the bag

[bowman]

Sanchez has a quick release. I saw it when he threw some sucker punches in the brawl..

[mvp 78]

s***** umps

[Thunder]

Corners!!!!

[S5Dewey]

C'mon.. that wasn't a strike when Sale threw it!

[bowman]

Where is that pitch for Sale.

[Station 13]

Yeah Sale got hose 5-6 times on that, leading to 10+ pitches extra. Robo umps. NOW

[oldtimer]

Still three guys with a chance to do some damage kept the bat on their shoulders. Hanley, Nunez and now Beni.

[Thunder]

I'm getting tired of Headley

[Maxbialystock]

This the second game in this series when I have been sure the ump is favoring the Yankees. It is no doubt unintentional, but it is also real.

 

Funny thing, but Farrell has the same graphics we do, so he knows too. The problem is probably that MLB won't let him use that info.

[Maxbialystock]

All three pitches by Sale to Headley were well inside the strike zone. Plus in this game his changeup has not been a factor. He has a decent slide, but it does not break sharply down, and MLB hitters can adjust to it when he throws it so much.

[Maxbialystock]

Severino, on the other hand, has our guys completely out of sync.

[Thunder]

Severino, on the other hand, has our guys completely out of sync.

 

Because of this apparent umpire bias, which I'm sure is just an overreaction

[Maxbialystock]

I think Sale really needs a changeup he can count on. Giving up that dinger--1 run in 3 innings--is really OK. The problem is he won't go for more than 6 and the Yankees are likely to score again. Meanwhile Severino is doing exactly what Sabathia and Tanaka did.

[BstHcpr]

Calm down. They're really not that bad

 

Clueless boy defending MSESPN.

[Thunder]

Clueless boy defending MSESPN.

 

Please enlighten me on what MS means

[Maxbialystock]

I will agree with Thunder on the notion that Severino is actually pitching better than Sale, but there have in fact several examples when Sale didn't get a strike called and should have and Severino got at least one call that was in the same spot.

[Maxbialystock]

It could well be that Severino benefitting from the simple fact that for the most part he is hitting corners far more often than Sale.

[S5Dewey]

Hey Gary, that's what it feels like to be sucker-punched! Like it?? *******!

[Thunder]

I will agree with Thunder on the notion that Severino is actually pitching better than Sale, but there have in fact several examples when Sale didn't get a strike called and should have and Severino got at least one call that was in the same spot.

 

I wasn't suggesting that, but okay.

[Maxbialystock]

Severino just mowed down our 3,4, and 5 hitters like they weren't there. So far he has thrown 52 pitches in 4 innings, which means he will get to the 8th inning if he keeps this up.

[S5Dewey]

Does she really want to award the CY to Kluber on the basis of what he did last year in the playoffs??

[Maxbialystock]

That 2-2 fastball to sanchez was right in the middle.

[mvp 78]

f*** Kluber.

 

f*** ESPN.

[jad]

When fans say that the umpires/refs favor 'their' team (and I've never heard them do that), then I will consider taking seriously anyone who says they do not.

[Maxbialystock]

Now a big pitch count because Sale is stuck throwing fastballs, which finally got hammered for dinger #2.

[Thunder]

Oh well. Might as well quit now. Sale sucks. We're doomed, and can only hope for a Wild Card spot
