9/9 vs Rays

[cp176]

a real treat for me = these three guys announcing this game!

[OH FOY]

Stanton with #54.

[Jasonbay44]

Dammit. Nunez leaving game with an injury..

[Youk Of The Nation]

Aww, Andriese is leaving. I really liked him.

 

Maybe they can bring Archer in.

[Maxbialystock]

Yankees need to go back to MLB and claim sign stealing again. Won't fly, of course, but they need to try it because what we are seeing right now is bad news for them.

[BOSOX11]

Gotta love the run support.

[Maxbialystock]

The three guys in the NESN booth remind a little of the three who used to call Redskins game on the radio--Sonny Jurgensen, Sam Huff and the announcer. Very compatible.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm glad this game is a blow out. LOTS of college football I want to watch.

[Maxbialystock]

After 23 pitches in the 1st, Sale has 10 in the 2d and 10 in the 3d.

[Northern Star]

I think it's safe to say the bats have come around.

Football? I rather watch paint dry, grass grow, or milk go sour.

Remy + Eck forever

Remy + Eck forever

Why didn't they think of this sooner?

Ya. I missed last night's game. These three guys dovetail very nicely together. I could easily listen to more of this!

[moonslav59]

Love all these crooked numbers lately!

[S5Dewey]

Another stupid baserunning error by Hanley.

[a700hitter]

Love all these crooked numbers lately!

Home cooking does wonders for the bats.

[OH FOY]

Absolutely stupid by Hanley play was in front of him. Stupid follows you into games where a close score is when it matters.

[S5Dewey]

Great catch by Beni!

[OH FOY]

One more inning for Sale and get him out. He'll understand, bigger fish to fry.

[moonslav59]

Yes. Get him rest. Maybe take him out now.

[Northern Star]

Absolutely stupid by Hanley play was in front of him. Stupid follows you into games where a close score is when it matters.

 

Honest question, has bringing Hanley back been worth it?

[OH FOY]

2 best CF's in AL in this game.

[Jasonbay44]

2 best CF's in AL in this game.

 

I don't know about that. Byron Buxton is probably the best. That guy has been an absolute stud defensively.

[OH FOY]

Eck, and Remy with OB, now were talking.

[OH FOY]

DP here and get Sale out.

[OH FOY]

This one day Sale is over.

[BstHcpr]

I don't know about that. Byron Buxton is probably the best. That guy has been an absolute stud defensively.

 

Yeah. Buxton and Hamilton are probably the upper echelon. Kiermeier and Bradley are next.

[Maxbialystock]

6 shutout innings, but SAle needed 97 pitches. The new approach--lots of breaking balls, lots of them low in the zone--seems to be working. Leon called an excellent game.

 

Not sure Sale would have willingly sat for the 6th. Way too competitive (I think) to submit to that. Farrell of course makes the decision, but that's why I think he left Sale in.

 

So right now 4 of 5 starters have pitched well in the same rotation--except for Porcello, and he gets his chance tomorrow. 12 hits by 8 different hitters, always a good sign. Pedey (2), Beni (3), and Moreland (3) with the rbi's.

 

Still 3 innings to go at 9:30, so a brief thanks to HanRam for running into an out with the score 9-0. Shortening the game was/is a worthwhile endeavor.

[Maxbialystock]

Sorry, but I like it when anybody beats those huge shifts by going the other way. I think they demand a rules change--2 infielders must be on each side of 2b.
