9/19 @ Yankees

[jung]

As much as I get on Lurch for being Lurch (Judge) he is the only RH hitter in the Yankee lineup I have never seen just aim to doink the ball over that RF fence. He does approach his AB's as a straight up RH hitter every AB.

[Maxbialystock]

Against the Yankees? You’re making out like he gave up 6 runs and the game is over already. Porcello always gives up early dingers. Let’s see how Price finishes.

 

OK. I've griped plenty about Price because he's walked 3 guys, given up 2 dingers, etc. But I give you this: without that error, the score would be 2-1 in the bottom of the 5th.

 

The defense and the lineup have also let us down.

[TylerD]

Solid inning for Price!

[Maxbialystock]

One more inning, and Price could get a quality start.

It’s frustrating to see so I don’t blame you. I hate losing to the Yanks. And price definitely hasn’t been great tonight but that error I just feel will come back to haunt us. Nice bounce back inning for Price.

It’s nice to see Price not s*** himself. Sometimes when he has a bad inning his confidence goes. He has bounced back rather decent after a shaky start.

He does it too, but he's so damn strong that you don't see many "cheap shots" over the RF fence

Muscling it out to RH and doinking it to RF are not quite the same things.

 

The absolute all time classic RH hitter doink swing here for HR is Frazier's HR off of Morton.

Is Bogey going for the fences? That's twice he's popped up a pitch breaking down.

Sum yesterday’s.

[jung]

Not confident in us playing in this park. If their pitchers are always going to pitch to the characteristics of this park and our pitchers are learning their lessons the hard way...that is not a great combination.

[FredLynn]

Moreland should only be a defensive replacement...he isn't good enough to swing a bat any more.

[a700hitter]

How much better has Moreland been than hanley would have been over the course of the season?

[jung]

Sum yesterday’s.

 

 

Savarino's got X's number. He can just pitch X anywhere he wants to. X is totally flummoxed by this guy.

Sevy is looking like himself again. Biting slider, nasty heat and the change looking good. Hopefully this continues on into the playoffs. He is likely our playoff #3, but he has the most upside of anyone

[Maxbialystock]

We are now in the 6th and that single rbi by Leon is beginning to look like a miraculous hit. Everybody else coming up with men/man on base rolls over and plays dead.

Won’t win many games scoring 3 runs inside of 15 innings. Even Sale would struggle to win these games for us.

[iortiz]

Another leadoff wasted.

[jung]

Our guys are getting frustrated now. They can't figure out what is happening to them.

They're facing an ace level pitcher who has reclaimed his ace level production. Sometimes you gotta tip your hat. Saw glimpses of this the past month or so

[bmattioli]

Leave it to this sorry ass lineup to make Severino look like an Ace..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Faaaaak. Not Prices night tonight. I knew eventually his red hot streak would cool off. I just hate that it had to happen against the Yankees.

 

Since Price joined the SOX, he is 0-5 at Yankem Stadium. His ERA is over 11 and OBA is .407.

[jung]

Even in old Yankee stadium pitchers who knew how to pitch there and here, kept the fly balls from LCF to RCF for obvious reasons.

[jung]

Price smartening up at least a little. Would not throw Sanchez a pitch anywhere near the outer half. He was WAYYYYYY outside to Sanchez

[jung]

Not there David..for God sake not there!

[jacksonianmarch]

Not there David..for God sake not there!

 

Price lives outside. As a lefty, this is a deadly proposition in the stadium. If the Yanks win the play in game, Price has to be slotted only in Fenway

[TylerD]

Alrighty. Price has not been good tonight.

Faaaak

[jung]

Have I made my point YET. Any arguments????

[FredLynn]

Price chokes again.

[iortiz]

Well, there goes the game.
