6/29 sox @ yankems

[d-money]

Well if this team will make it interesting they need a couple of runs here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

ERod to the Mets sounds better every minute

 

E-rod for DeGrom? That wouldn't even happen in fantasy baseball.

[vegasbob]

Brooks Devers.

 

Great reaction to his offside by Devers, maybe the bats will now show up.

ERod to the Mets sounds better every minute

 

He got through the middle of the order pretty well. I expect him to go into the 6th and then see if he can get through it. He is a young 5th starter who figures to improve.

[Maxbialystock]

Please trade the weak minded players so we don't have to watch another 1 and done year .

 

???????????????

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Yankems could probably pitch Sabathia again tomorrow.

[Station 13]

Xander just can't hit Sabathia.

[Natick to NC]

???????????????

 

Nunez mostly tonight but Erod is in this category .

[jacksonianmarch]

Torres and Andujar are 4-4 with a sac fly, a triple and a HR

[Natick to NC]

The Yankems could probably pitch Sabathia again tomorrow.

 

If we had a one game playoff with CC he would no hit this group except for Pearce

[Natick to NC]

Xander bogaertzzzz that one

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I posted yesterday that the SOX should have played the Angels 3 more times instead of going to Gotham.

[Station 13]

Suck a dick, Xander.

[illinoisredsox]

I would love to see Mookie and Benintendi learn to bunt; throw a couple down against CC (who HATES it when teams do that to him) and throw him off his game a little. Not tonight, but next time they see him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What the hell; you can't win 'em all. I would be happy with 1 win in this series. 2 wins would make me ecstatic, until I woke up to find I was dreaming.

[d-money]

s***** game.

[Maxbialystock]

As I said earlier in the thread, ERod and Sabathia are polar opposites. Sabathia has little speed but a great mix of pitches and excellent control. ERod actually has a pretty good fast ball but relies on it too much, especially when he doesn't command it very well. Plus he doesn't have any pitches that break sharply down and tends just to throw a cut fastball. The whole idea is to keep hitters off balance. The Yankees actually hit ERod hard in the 1st, but they were right to someone (2 of them, anyway).

 

The other thing I've said about ERod is that he is definitely more effective when the keeps the ball down. He did that tonight on exactly one batter, who GIDP'd. Tonight his pitches have been mostly up.

 

Sale, Price, and even Porcello all have a pretty good mix of pitches and that's why the are more effective.

I wanna see this team actually show up for these big series. They looked pathetic last time around.

No, the SOX would have traded Pearce for Abreu by then.

[Natick to NC]

Score 2 here we have a game then

[Maxbialystock]

Good for Cora and ERod: six innings. Game is probably out of reach--all the more reason not to bring in the bullpen any sooner than absolutely necessary. This is where the proverbial 7 run rule definitely applies. But I don't think it applies when the Sox offense is perking and scoring runs and the game is winnable. This game might still be winnable, but the odds are against it. Better to cut our losses and get the most possible outs of ERod's arm.

Cora needs a shock remote, Each bad chase from Devers up the voltage.

Agreed! Give E-rod the reputation as an innings eater.

[Natick to NC]

We could have started Pawtucket tonight and had same result .how paethetic

[vegasbob]

Jackie takes one for the team, now Mookie's turn to light it up after 2 hopeless K's

[Maxbialystock]

I disagree. We won game 3 and were definitely in position to win games 1 and 2. In fact, it was after those two losses I said the Sox can play with these guys. Season to date, the series is even at 3-3.

Why is CC still in vs Betts? Cmon Boone!

[jacksonianmarch]

Gets out of it. CC was dominant!

What game are you watching? Mookie is 2 for 3 with no K's. Now 2 for 4.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Truly embareskin.
