8/30 @ Chicago White Sox

[FredLynn]

Winning time!

[a700hitter]

Bradley has been getting big hits lately.

[a700hitter]

Kimbrel will be coming into close the door. my nails have not grown back from his last outing.

[Tedballgame]

Mookie had to swing there after Barrett missed the one before that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Beni's overdue.

[Tedballgame]

Big hit Benny!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Before he died Leslie Neilson mentioned that Barrett coached him to portray an umpire in the movie NAKED GUN.

This would be a sweet win after that disaster of a start. Starting pitching needs to get better though.

JD just helped him, I guess LOL!

[FredLynn]

This is one tough team to beat!

[iortiz]

This is one tough team to beat!

 

Yes it is.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Jim Dandy. JD's swing is actually tailored for Yankem's short RF. Thank goodness we got him.

[TylerD]

Well took a while but the bats are heating up!

[redsoxrules]

I don't know its just me but Kinsler looked like he was limping after scoring. Hope he didn't pull his hammy again

[FredLynn]

Swihart had a key AB

 

He has earned a job.

Kimbrel-proof now.

[d-money]

A 5 run explosion. This team’s capable of that at any time.

[a700hitter]

Yankees 8 down in the loss column -- buried.

[iortiz]

Whata season of JD. It’s just insane.

[redsoxrules]

2 of them and last night too

[iortiz]

Kimbrel-proof now.

 

Hopefully he bounce back.

Never doubted compadre. This is our year.

No clock in baseball. No stalling. One must get 27 outs to win.

[oldtimer]

What a great series of ABs. Don't underrate Kinsler's contribution all night. Hard guy to get out and a threat on the bases. Swihart put together a professional AB to draw a walk followed by a key clutch hit by JBJ. Betts is to be forgiven after doing so much tonight and then Beni was overdue and came through on a 99 mph fb. Another asked when JDM woulld hit another HR. Didn't have to wait long as he delivered a knockout blow. Our pen has to hold such a nice lead. Great pen work tonight so far, and the Yannkees blew their game at home to the Tigers.

Yes he did.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't believe Eovaldi has been here long enough to have a personal catcher, so I'm expecting SWI to start tomorrow. But with Cora one never can be certain, even if it seems the obvious thing to do.

[FredLynn]

Yes he did.

 

I just can't see them carrying three catchers in the playoffs......I think Vas is the odd man out.

[FredLynn]

Brutal day for Yankee fans.....

[TylerD]

A 5 run explosion. This team’s capable of that at any time.

Yes they are. Gets slightly more tough to do that against the good pitchers in the playoffs however.
