7/10 Yankems @ SOX

[FredLynn]

Wow

Stanton Ks on three balls

[notin]

To send a message: either find some plate discipline or be prepared to sit a lot.

 

 

Should part of this message include Cora taking over 1b?

 

Also, I don’t think sending him to his room without any supper is appropriate for plate discipline, especially against a very tough albeit struggling pitcher…

[jacksonianmarch]

These umps suck

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least bad chUMPIRING is impartial.

[vegasbob]

That might be the closest thing to a positive comment I’ve ever seen you make.

 

It’s still not one. It’s still pretty negative. But I think it’s the closest…

 

Here's one for you: intentionally blank

[Tedballgame]

Yankees D is sloppy tonight

[jacksonianmarch]

Yankees D is sloppy tonight

 

Really uncharacteristic for this year

Really uncharacteristic for this year

 

Must be the pressure.

 

Can defenses slump?

[FredLynn]

These umps suck

 

Yup

[Tedballgame]

Yankees D is sloppy tonight but a good first baseman would have had that short hop. It was routine.

There are options at 1B.

If this was the only time BD had zero plate discipline it would be ok.

But it’s a recurring problem and he isn’t paying attention.

Sitting him would get his attention.

Here's a secret that I'm willing to share. The majority of HP chUMPS suck. Edited July 11, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Except Angel Hernandez!

[Tedballgame]

Break it open here please.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dugo continues to glow.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Except Angel Hernandez!

 

Yup. He's the shining exception.

[Tedballgame]

Story continues to be an RBI machine!!!!

[illinoisredsox]

Except Angel Hernandez!

 

Angel Hernandez does not suck. There is no adjective that can describe his ineptitude.

 

The other thing is most umps are decent on the bases. Hernandez is absurdly horrible at all facets of umpiring (although I think he does a decent job of accepting the line-up cards before the game).

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story guessed right on that one.

If they didn't have Angel there would be no definition of incompetent although Laz Diaz comes close.

He sued MLB for not being picked to work the PO's. The nerve of the guy.

[moonslav59]

Every picture tells a story. Don't it?

[Tedballgame]

Nice bunt by Franchy.

[Old Red]

The Yankees have crapped their pants for the second night in a row. Three if you count Cole’ performance.

[redsoxrules]

Great bunt by Cordero! Pour it on please

[Tedballgame]

Yankees might have the top 5 bloopers for the night in all of baseball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Diaz and Hernandez exemplify how much the umpires' union hates MLB.

[Tedballgame]

Now, can Sox bullpen hold the lead?

[Tedballgame]

A split of this series would seem like a win for the Sox considering the pitchers they had to start and Devers missing last 2 games.

[Tedballgame]

At least Bobby hustled down first.
