June 6: BOS (Richards) @ NYY (German)

[TylerD]

Barnes still not out of this.

 

He is now.

[d-money]

I hate extra innings!!!! Puts pressure now to score. Hate this stupid rule.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No way, no how would I have stuck with Workman, at least not this year's version. He gave up a dinger in his previous outing and is far from trustworthy.

 

I agree 100%. You have to win the games you're playing today and tomorrow will take care of itself.

Actually, your point is better than mine.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sneaky how the SOX substituted Veritek in as the HP ump.

[Maxbialystock]

The Yankees definitely have a gripe, but they are now just acting like jerks. I wear hearing aides and have sort of learned to read lips, and that one guy was saying F---You to one of the umps.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice bunt by Arroyo. I think moonslav would have him leading off, and I am inclined to agree.

[illinoisredsox]

Damn.

[a700hitter]

Bogey!

[vegasbob]

Some guys are just professionals in the prime of their career. MVP caliber

[TylerD]

Xander!!!!!! 6-4

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

X-cellent! X-man may have the best check swing in the history of baseball. I've never seen him get called for a strike on a check swing.

[a700hitter]

Some guys are just professionals in the prime of their career. MVP caliber

But their value is declining by the minute.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing Sawamura.

[vegasbob]

Either win it or lose it right here . 3 outs before 2 runs is preferred

[iortiz]

I hate this new extra inning rules with all of my soul lol

 

It’s just dumb.

 

Said that, good to see we took the lead again.

 

Let’s go pen!

[d-money]

Don’t play around here! Go after the hitters.

[Maxbialystock]

Bottom of the 10th, up by 2, and Valdez on the mound. Another Red Sox nail-biter.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing Sawamura.

 

I guess I guessed wrong.

[iortiz]

HBP. Really?

[Maxbialystock]

Six straight changeups.

[iortiz]

These DPs are gold lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bobby Shantz like.

[Maxbialystock]

This time, I absolutely have to give credit to Vazquez for calling for those six changeups, which clearly led to the GIDP.

[vegasbob]

Saved by the two catches by Gonzo and Dalbec

[iortiz]

Whata joke

[a700hitter]

Marwin throws a lot of balls that he should put in his pocket.

[vegasbob]

Blind Squirrel Yankees

I like the format because I do not like the endless extra inning games.

[Maxbialystock]

Game over!!!!
