Boone...what an idiot. I have no idea how the Yankees decided to give this team to this guy. Really bad decision IMO.

If we score again it may be Barnes

Boone who is a screaming idiot handled his pen poorly. Plus relief pitchers are specialists. They don't pitch to the hitter's weakness as much as they pitch to their strength. Starters pitch to hitters weaknesses. You have to beat a relief pitcher's best game. So whenever anybody is talking about pitchers knowing how to pitch to batters they are talking about starters, not relievers. A reliever is not going to alter how he pitches because of who is at the plate. Does Kimbrel change what he does one batter to the next...NOPE. He is going to pitch to you the way he pitches and you either beat him or you don't.

 

So, it was the RP'ers not Boone.

 

Who forgot what?

Nice!!!

[mvp 78]

He’s been 21 for 11 months now. He can have a whine cooler.

[Slasher9]

Boone couldn’t give the kid an inning??? That would have been cool...

[romoboy]

shut that damn music off

[mvp 78]

There’s nothing cool about that dingus. He sucked on tv and sucks as a manager.

[Slasher9]

Erod start is worrisome but the offense picked him up

[mvp 78]

Don’t let Mitch on the plane! He k’d for the last out in the 9th. Sad!

[Slasher9]

Lephrechaun time

[mvp 78]

The slower he pitches, the worse he looks. He was like molasses tonight. Wish he worked quicker.

[Slasher9]

There’s nice people on both sides!

[mvp 78]

Cutch looks dumb w/o long hair.

[Slasher9]

Ridiculous

[mvp 78]

Great boot by JDfa!

[Slasher9]

Cutch looks dumb w/o long hair.

 

Agreed

[Slasher9]

It’s a fly out in 29 other stadiums

[Station 13]

JD needs to be off the field

Boone managed poorly in this one, but you also have to tip your cap when applicable. Tanaka never should have been in a spot to allow the 5th run. Let KRob buzzsaw the sox in the 5th, Green 6th, Britton 7th, Betances 8th and then Chap in the 9th with Holder as the backup. Letting Tanaka go too far and trying to eek out too much from Green was the downfall of this game. Otherwise, the sox hit Chap and Betances and you tip your cap when they do

Nobody forgot anything. Tanaka didn't have it and Boone handled his pen poorly and you are completely misreading the comments about pitchers learning to pitch to hitters.

 

Starters do that. They have to because they are going to face a batting order two or three times in the same game. So again since apparently you didn't bother to read it the first time, when anybody talks about pitchers learning how to pitch to hitters that have been scouted, they are talking about starting pitchers. Relief pitchers don't do that. Relief pitchers go out and pitch their game no matter who is at the plate. Its the managers job to match up his relief pitchers to the task at hand because they are not going to go out to the mound and change what they do.

 

Again, does Kimbrel change what he does batter to batter? NOPE. He pitches the way he pitches and the batter has to beat Kimbrel at Kimbrel's game. Kimbrel is not going to change for a batter. Does Kelly change what he does batter to batter, Hembree, Brasier, any of them NOPE. Relief pitchers go out there and pitch THEIR game and you have to beat them at their game.

 

Tanaka certainly was not as brutal as he can be and Boone did a pretty bad job of handling his pen tonight.
