07/27/19 Yankees (Sabathia) @ Red Sox (E-Rod)

[TylerD]

Finally.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Meanwhile Kimbrel is killing it in Chicago. Getting saves left and right

 

And yes Toronto came back lmao.

 

Not having Kimbrel has cost the SOX at least 7 games in the standings.

I hate to say it mainly for the number of times we were frustrated by Kimbrel's inability to throw strikes and exhibit command when he needed to exhibit command but even last year's kimbrel had better command than most of these jet fuel merchants whether they are wearing our laundry or anybody else's laundry.

 

Throwing 98 smack in the middle of the strike zone impresses nobody, especially the hitter.

And it's still fine, because 3 outs from now, we'll be in the WC

[illinoisredsox]

Damn, Eck's memory is better than mine, and mine is nearly eidetic

 

Eidetic or photographic? They are different.

[Thunder]

Eidetic or photographic? They are different.

 

Photographic technically isn't a thing. Common misconception. Google it, or as we youngins say, GTS (Google That s***)

[TylerD]

Maybe Workman should just be our closer. He’s been pretty solid.

Agreed

Don’t have to; I know what they mean. Everyone has eidetic memory to some extent; it’s how long you retain the images that differentiate between degrees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Workman has definitely earned his name in this series.

Workman has proved to be pretty solid. But I agree!

That was the best choice a month ago and I don't think that situation has changed.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Barnes and Workman just ain't enough BP.

[jung]

Work is not one of these jet fuel merchants. Nate IS! Kimbrel IS.

That is correct. Simply not enough there to keep those two guys from being overworked. Nate will help but I still don't hold out much hope for him as a closer and DH is probably still too young to be relied upon as a solid, high leverage pen arm. We probably still need one more pen arm even with Nate in the pen.

[fxkatt]

Too bad we played those London games, we might otherwise have 6 straight home wins vs NY--by tomorrow, that is.

[Thunder]

Woo-WOO!

 

Win. Dance. Repeat. Yankees suck x3

[YastrzemskI]

Put it in the books! SOX WIN!!!

[d-money]

Thank you! Finish the sweep tomorrow!!!

[d-money]

It’s always a good day when the good guys win!!!!

[Thunder]

Thank you! Finish the sweep tomorrow!!!

 

Let's make A-Rod cry on the telecast tomorrow!!!!

[Thunder]

Boy has Benintendi woken up from the heavy legs

[d-money]

Rays lose. Now need the As and maybe the Guardians lose a game.

[Station 13]

E-Rod has 13 wins, lately he earned them.

[Thunder]

Mookie, Devers, and Xander are 3 of the hottest hitters on the planet. JD is not far behind

[YastrzemskI]

So the Skanks pitching didn’t allow double digit runs today. Something to build on. Lol.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If I had told you before this series started that the SOX would only score 38 runs in the first 3 games of this series and be up 3 games to none, would you have believed me?

I could've believed the 38 runs, but not winning the first 3 games. I was hoping for a split at best, especially since the Yankees just took 2 out of 3 in Minnesota

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, Sale can go 8 tomorrow.

[Slasher9]

Win.

f*** Yankees, their announcers, and their fans.
