8/31 @ Chicago White Sox

[Tedballgame]

Now that base running blunder by Mookie looks really big. They had a chance to put up a crooked number and got nothing and then Eovaldi gives up 3.

[oldtimer]

Warm up the pen. Eovaldi sucks again.

 

Carbon Copy of last night. Down at the start.

[d-money]

Need to hit this guy and score runs.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

I beat you to it. He's the worst of all time. Even worse than Rizzuto, if that's even possible.

 

The thing about Rizzuto: he never had any pretensions of being a great announcer.

 

For me, the worst announcer that I ever heard was probably Rusty Staub. The worst announcer I've heard recently is David Ross. He is horrendous.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

Working with Pedro did this guy wonders. Why am I not surprised by that? I like Pedro, but I'm not sure if I trust him as a coach.

[Tedballgame]

Kopech looks good now.

Eovaldi was sucking before Pedro worked with him.

[jung]

OK ...so I guess I will make the obligatory comment. "Why don't we get young pitchers like this". There I said it.

[Tedballgame]

Swihart obviously was not looking for fastball right down the middle.

[Tedballgame]

Kinsler can hit a fastball.

[Tedballgame]

I don't think Leon can though.

[Fan_since_Boggs]

I don't think Leon can though.

 

Leon can't hit a slow pitched softball. He would swing through it.

Scooter was very entertaining and endearing, but awful if you wanted to know what was going on in the game. I remember when the Yankee TV announcers would rotate to do 3 innings of radio each game. You never knew what was going on when Rizzuto was on the radio side. They worked it solo with no one else to interpret like Suzyn Waldman does for blind homer John Sterling.

[d-money]

Our own prospects looking good against us. Tired of seeing eovaldi. Would love to see wright pitch again.

That's true. He was more of a personality than a guy who would inform you about baseball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kopech has control issues so, of course, JBJ swings at the 1st pitch.

[d-money]

This ******* can’t give up anymore runs.

[Tedballgame]

I would love for the Sox to bring Kinsler back next year. He is a gold glover and he can hit.

[jung]

I actually enjoyed Rizzuto in those years when the MFY's were positively horrendous. Yankee Stadium was absolutely empty and Rizzuto would be doing promos for upcoming games. "Good seats still available for the Tigers series". Which was starting the very next day! Can't you just hear Phil doing them for those of us old enough.

 

I get a warm feeling every time I think of it, like you get from a shot of good scotch.

I've said this many times, but it's true. You can't polish s***. Pedro was a great pitcher, not a magician.

[Tedballgame]

That fan had a short night. Too bad, he had a great seat.

[d-money]

Eovaldi stinks! He gives up too much BP. They need to take him out of the rotation.

[Tedballgame]

Eovaldi is throwing right down the middle.

It is interesting that a lot of great players were terrible managers/coaches.

[d-money]

Skankees just made it interesting 3-2 down.

[d-money]

3-3. Zimmerman sucks.

[d-money]

Need to get some offense going. Sick of playing from behind.

[d-money]

What a meltdown by Zimmerman. 4-3 now. All hrs I believe

[Tedballgame]

Tigers just gave the Yankees 3 unearned runs.

[Tedballgame]

At least Mookie won't get picked off this time.
