9/25 Yankees at Red Sox

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Horrible pitching

 

And horrible managing.

[Maxbialystock]

I have a bad feeling guy but we shall see. Too close to the vest. This is a big inning here.

 

Well, you were right. Clearly, Cora went out to tell Hernandez to throw one right down the middle, which he did.

[Tedballgame]

Two walks and hit by pitch. Inexcusable.

[d-money]

I was right . It caught up to them in the end.

[iortiz]

Everything started when Houck walked Gardner. Unbelievable.

[d-money]

Well, you were right. Clearly, Cora went out to tell Hernandez to throw one right down the middle, which he did.

 

Can’t walk f***ing gardner with two outs . f***ing embarrassing.

[Maxbialystock]

Massive choke job by the bullpen. Even Robles had that wild pitch to bring in the first Yankee run.

[iortiz]

Hernández is a bum.

[d-money]

The Yankees seem to have this team’s number right now in everything after they started off this season well against them.

[Old Red]

FU Cora.

 

Once again a starting pitcher can’t even go 6, and all down hill from there. They were lucky they held the lead as long as they did.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess Corable was saving Richards for the PO's.

[Maxbialystock]

Can’t walk f***ing gardner with two outs . f***ing embarrassing.

 

WEEI guys said that several times.

[d-money]

At home everything in their hands and this team has come up really small.

[TylerD]

At home everything in their hands and this team has come up really small.

 

Sure have offensively isn’t pulling their weight either. 2 or 3 runs generally won’t do it against the Yankees

[Tedballgame]

Walking Gardner was unbelievable.

[jad]

Four walks and a hit-batsman in two innings by relievers. That's not on Cora. That's on them.

[d-money]

Sure have offensively isn’t pulling their weight either. 2 or 3 runs generally won’t do it against the Yankees

 

They had chances to increase that lead but just couldn’t do it.

[Maxbialystock]

I guess Corable was saving Richards for the PO's.

 

I like Richards too, but Houck has been good. And tonight he was fine after he switched to sliders. He got 5 straight outs, then walked two guys, so Cora brought in Hernandez to pitch to Rizzo, and Hernandez was obviously in shock and walked him.

[Old Red]

Walking Gardner was unbelievable.

 

Like I said earlier that Stanton is a lot different hitter than he was the last time in Boston.

[YastrzemskI]

The 2021 squad is not a post season team. The pitching is not there and the hitting just hasn’t been consistent. Giving up a grand slam like this just made me turn the f***in thing off. Disgusting.

[Tedballgame]

Let’s face it: Hernandez choked big time.

[moonslav59]

This might date me, but this feels like that time the Yanks came to Boston and killed us by like 30 runs.

[Maxbialystock]

Sure have offensively isn’t pulling their weight either. 2 or 3 runs generally won’t do it against the Yankees

 

Yankees have good pitching, especially the starters Cole and Cortes, but also an excellent bullpen.

 

Today/tonight Pivetta rose to the occasion, but the bullpen--Robles, Houck, and Hernandez--simply choked.

[Maxbialystock]

This might date me, but this feels like that time the Yanks came to Boston and killed us by like 30 runs.

 

You talking about the 2005 or 2006 four game series in August?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JD isn't clutch; he's an automatic. Out that is.

[Old Red]

The 2021 squad is not a post season team. The pitching is not there and the hitting just hasn’t been consistent. Giving up a grand slam like this just made me turn the f***in thing off. Disgusting.

 

At one time the back of the bullpen looked pretty good with Whit, Otto, and Barnes. Now it’s a big crapshoot.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I like Richards too, but Houck has been good. And tonight he was fine after he switched to sliders. He got 5 straight outs, then walked two guys, so Cora brought in Hernandez to pitch to Rizzo, and Hernandez was obviously in shock and walked him.

 

Hernandez is a thrower, not a pitcher.

[iortiz]

Four walks and a hit-batsman in two innings by relievers. That's not on Cora. That's on them.

 

Yeah but Hernandez is not a high leverage guy. He is a f***ing bum.

[d-money]

Just pitiful with Rodriguez going tomorrow. The fact that this team still has a shot at a playoff spot is ridiculous. They have s*** on themselves every time.

[TylerD]

They had chances to increase that lead but just couldn’t do it.

 

Squandered. We have been masters at that all year.
