8/3 @ NY game 2

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BJ's already the best starter in this series.

[Station 13]

The SOX have 4 players that should not be traded and s/b kept at all costs. They are Devers, Bogie, VAZ, and E-rod. Imho, everyone else is expendable. Oh, hell, let's keep Workman and Barnes.

 

Vaz and E-Rod? Two players who has drove us to our limits?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing Marco will be optioned back to Pawtucket after this game. That's really too bad.

[fxkatt]

It feels like we're at a fairly big name rock concert, and there's only 12 people in the audience--and one is the sound engineer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vaz and E-Rod? Two players who has drove us to our limits?

 

There's not too many catchers who can hit and E-rod has been our best starter for quite a while.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS!

[fxkatt]

Devers is a hit song.

[YastrzemskI]

Wow that pitch was trash.. batting practice for Big D... and Big D goes Big Fly!

[FredLynn]

Vasquez: .255/.675 for his career. He is not a great hitter.

[Station 13]

Raffy is awesome.

[Station 13]

Vasquez: .255/.675 for his career. He is not a great hitter.

 

And lately he has stunk.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Vasquez: .255/.675 for his career. He is not a great hitter.

 

I never said he was a great hitter, but his hitting has improved.

[Station 13]

I never said he was a great hitter, but his hitting has improved.

 

he's not being traded.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Let's hope the SOX don't get stuck on 2 again.

[FredLynn]

he's not being traded.

 

I would not trade him. He ranks 10th in OPS in the AL of catchers with a minimum of 150 ABs. Not bad. Not great either.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Check please. Leave a tip, Judge.

[TylerD]

2-1. That 2-0 lead went quick.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not exactly Bobby Shantz on the mound.

[Oscars]

Red Sox media commentators continue to say, along with many fans, that JDM will opt out at the end of the season.

That seems very unlikely to me.

He won’t go to the National League as the 33 year old is no longer a full time outfielder .

These American League clubs are rebuilding:

Jays, white Sox, orioles, royals, mariners, tigers and the royals.

The twins have Cruz, the angels have Otahni.

The Guardians, rangers, rays and athletics don’t play in that price range.

I can’t see the Astros spending that kind of money on a DH, and they have a very strong hitting club.

That leaves the Yankees, which won’t happen with Stanton on the roster for many years.

JDM is staying with the Red Sox.

[Station 13]

That looks like a pop up that keeps flying.

Good post. Depressing, but good.

[Station 13]

Johnson blew is load. He's finished.

[Station 13]

I would not trade him. He ranks 10th in OPS in the AL of catchers with a minimum of 150 ABs. Not bad. Not great either.

 

They can't trade somebody if they have no replacement in sight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Proof that not all BJ's are good.

[OH FOY]

Terrible game calling.

[TylerD]

We are losing.... I’m stunned.....

 

 

Sarcasm.

[FredLynn]

This one is just about over. We do not come back from deficits.

[OH FOY]

3 curveballs in a row to a Hitter like Maybin, so he can slow his bat down.

[YastrzemskI]

Proof that not all BJ's are good.

 

+1 sad but oh so true.

[Oscars]

The second time through the order and the Yankees are staying back waiting for the curve ball
