Boy Beni has really turned things around now. He is a completely different hitter. Let’s keep bending these Skanks over.... why?? Because WHY NOT?!?

I don't get this trend toward the pinched outfield. This looks like overthinking the game to an extreme to me. Rotating the OF one way or the other, I can see. Pinching both corner outfielders towards the middle says what, that the hitter is going to hit into either power alley no matter what? How do you even come to that conclusion?

 

And the trade off is what? Balls hit into the power alleys are at least well struck baseballs. You have given up a double. But pinching the corner OFers creates opportunities to turn singles into doubles because the OFer has so far to go to get to a ball that is simply a single all day long. Honestly, for my money they have handed the keys to the asylum to the inmates.

Save some of these runs tomorrow against Domingo german who might be the skankees ace.

 

Sale needs to bring it tomorrow. As funny as it sounds... there will be pressure to sweep the Skanks if we hold on to win today... looking more and more like we will.

It's done at Fenway because of the expansive center field and short distances down the line. You gotta cheat toward center to cover the ground.

The Yankem booth keeps referring to Severino as if he were the 2nd coming of Bob Gibson. Hey, fellas, not even close.

 

The Skank broadcast is among the worst in the business.. and it has been that way for a long time.
