7/7/22 NYY at Fenway

[vegasbob]

G. Cole , 7-2, Gee Whiz

 

vs.

 

Josh Winckhowski 3-2, most recently a blossoming rotation member for the Sox

 

When this 14 game stretch started , I would have been happy with a 7-7 outcome, but expected 2 of 3 from the Rays. Still will call 7-7 , but need to get 3-1 vs New York, a tall order when the team is not hitting timely.

No Judge, or Rizzo tonight, so not the Yankees A Team. Gotta win tonight.

Judge and Rizzo out for the Yanks. From what Boone said, they could play if they needed to... almost sounds like disrespect to the Sox, like "yeah we'll rest our best players against you".

Don't brag, Cora can rest players at key points with the best of managers

Interesting that this Yankee lineup features only one .300 hitter, Matt Carpenter, who is exactly at .300, and includes Joey Gallo at .167. So we have much better stats

[vegasbob]

This just in : Carpenter no longer hitting .300 . Winckhowski pitching a shutout

Stuck with the MLBN broadcast tonight (Costas and co.). MLB TV has decided that a Boston- New York game is subject to blackout restrictions here in western Illinois (even though I even am connecting via a VPN through Denver). So no NESN for me tonight.

I suspect you do not need any announcer to explain what is happening ! If you do, JDM just K'ed

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can't help but wonder if while JD's watching his batting videos, he's listening to the song MR ROBOTO by Styx.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's really no reason Cole even needs to give Devers anything to hit.

[Tedballgame]

The Benintendi trade is looking better and better.

[vegasbob]

In terms of outcomes so far, Winckhowski , with 6 outs/no runs , is outpitching Cole , who only has 3outs/no runs. Updates coming.

[Tedballgame]

Ump doesn't need to help Cole by calling strikes on pitches a foot outside.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Walking Gallo is just as bad as drinking Gallo wine.

[vegasbob]

Semi-intentional walk to Stanton ??

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's probably 3 more runs than they needed.

[Tedballgame]

Game, set and match.

[vegasbob]

Josh, you are officially f***ed and by extension, so is your team

[Tedballgame]

I am sure the Yankee troll will now make an appearance.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's probably 4 more runs than they needed.

[iortiz]

That's what happens when a pitcher has no balls to throw strikes when he actually has to throw strikes. When he finally decides to throw strikes is very evident and the rest is history.

 

Whta s*** show again.

[jacksonianmarch]

Just got home! Good timing!!

[vegasbob]

Wincky chickened out on pitching to Stanton and that was all she wrote

That's what I saw/thought as well. Afraid to throw strikes, then throws them down the middle.

 

Cole, on the other hand, has also thrown some down the middle, but the Sox can't handle the heat. Cole does have much better command, however.

Breakdown of the AL:

 

Very good teams-2

Mediocre teams--6

Bad teams--------7

[FredLynn]

This is not a good team. Its not a bad team. Its worse. Its a MEDIOCRE team. 5-0 already. Haven't won a series in the ALE this year. So glad they got ".220" Trevor Story. Martinez is finished.

 

This team is unwatchable.

When Winck began the inning by walking the s***** batter Gallo, he pretty much deserved his fate.

[jacksonianmarch]

Cole needs to just walk him every time now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Why the hell is Cole giving Devers something to hit? Thank you, dumb ass.

[Tedballgame]

What did I tell you? As soon as Donaldson hit the grand slam, the troll magically appeared. What a front runner. Couldn't find him during last year's playoff game after Bogaert's homer.
