July 4th @ Oakland

[Maxbialystock]

Must be the 10th innings. Verdugo on 2b with no one out.

[TylerD]

Runners on. Let’s not waste this

[jung]

Good spot for Rafi

[Nick]

Yanks lose 10-5...Up 5-4, Chapman gives up tying home run, hits a batter and walks a batter and gets pulled at 5-5. Mets score another 5 on top of 7th (double header)

 

G Cole only goes 3.1 inning and gives up 4 runs.

[jung]

Kemp picks then to find his glove.

[SoxHop]

That DP sucked. But I'll take it for the run

[TylerD]

We have a lead !

[Maxbialystock]

I am talking about the offfense dude. Get a grip.

 

Some folks enjoy pitching duels. I'm one. No accounting for tastes.

 

Devers up with Verdugo on 3d, JDM on 1st, and no outs. And he hits into a double play. Verdugo scores, however. It's remotely possible Kaprielian knows what he's doing.

Game changing opportunity right here, Rafi

[Bellhorn04]

For those enjoying Yankee misery, they traded Kaprielian to Oakland in the Sonny Gray deal.

[d-money]

A 1 run lead. Leads see how Cora handles this.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's your 1 run, Pivetta. Now go with it. Words Bob Gibson often heard when he pitched for the offensively challenged Cards.

[vegasbob]

Wonder how long in the early days of baseball did defensive positioning develop so that the majority of hit balls went right at a defensive player ?

[TylerD]

A 1 run lead. Leads see how Cora handles this.

 

As long as the pitching keeps this up we’re good

[Maxbialystock]

Both starters have pitched great, combining so far for 11 innings, 1 run, 15 K's, 2 BB's, and 5 hits (4 by the Sox).

 

The Sox two best rbi men have both had golden opportunities--men on 2d and 3d and men on 1st and 3d--and stunk it up.

No commentary from Jacksonian extolling the virtues of NYY'ers vs the lowly rebuilding , no shot Sox ?

Lol. I cracked a smile reading this. And yet, I do enjoy Yank misery.

[d-money]

First base runner in awhile.

[vegasbob]

Realize that when Chris Sale does return maybe mid August, he's very likely to begin with a sequence of 3-4-5 innings so he better bring a designated reliever with him from Worcester

You can almost read their faces..."What the hell am I doing here?"

Hey, that was before the DH. Gibson could have done some offensive damage himself (and he was a decent hitter for a pitcher; he hit about .200 and had over 20 career homers).

Throw strikes.

[d-money]

A battle right now against this batter.

[illinoisredsox]

Who are these announcers on MLB tv. Obviously the deep voice guy played in MLB before.

 

Deep voice is Ellis Burks; began and ended his career with the Sox and played for a few teams in between.

 

Not sure who the PxP guy is. They are filling in for O’Brien and Remy this weekend although it could be for the whole west coast trip. I don’t think the announcers are traveling with the team yet.

[d-money]

One more plz.

[TylerD]

Pivetta is just nasty today

[SoxHop]

Throw strikes.

 

WTF are you talking about, he's at 80 pitches through 6? What you you even talking about?

No way, that's Ellis!!!!!! Thanks.

[vegasbob]

Vazquez does catch the tough foul pops

[d-money]

Good s*** big dick! Get him an extra run!
