July 16th Red Sox at Yankees

[Tedballgame]

7:15 pm Eastern Time on Fox.

 

Nick Pivetta vs Jameson Taillon

 

Sox have won 3 straight against the Yankees. Lets keep it going. Pivetta needs to bounce back after two rough outings.

[Tedballgame]

I would like to see Duran and Refsnyder in there and not JBJ.

Duran's OPS for July is .600 and he's a liability in the outfield.

On the other hand, five lefty bats in the lineup tonight: Duran, Devers, Dugo (the three D's), Cordero, and JBJ.

Yes, but he is young and could develop into something. JBJ is beyond hope. He stinks.

This is the 5th consecutive start for JBJ. Unbelieveable! He can't hit a lick.

Cora loves the guy.

Cora loves the guy.

 

As short as right field is at Yankee Stadium you would think he could accidentally hit a homer to right.

[Tedballgame]

Juan Soto of Washington is hitting .247 with 19 homers and 42 RBI and he turned down 440 million for 15 years. He and his agent are incredibly stupid. But, I would not want to play in Washington D.C. for 15 more years either. Devers looks at that offer and his eyes light up.

As I posted last night baseball isn't played by geniuses.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

FOX and Smoltz; a match made in heaven.

The Yankems do it all the time. Even the terrible Gallo has 10 homers.

[Tedballgame]

Pretty sure Duran swung at ball 4.

No one is pitching to him. He leads the league in walks and has a .405 OBP.

 

He’s not stupid; but he’s also not a one man team

Devers is sooooooooo good. Sign him to an extension!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS! C'mon SOX, let's pin the Taillon this jackass.

[Tedballgame]

Good start.

[Tedballgame]

The ball just doesn't jump off of J.D.'s bat very often like it used to.

[Tedballgame]

I hate the shift. It is hurting baseball. That ball by Verdugo right of the middle should be a hit.

The other reason for turning down all that money could be that Soto and his agent didn't think Soto was worthy of that large amount. That happens a lot in MLB.

I still think all JD needs is a good oiling.

[Tedballgame]

Great catch by JBJ. Has to contribute with his glove.

Now that is funny.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As ungifted as JBJ is as a hitter, he is definitely a gifted defender. You can't coach what he does in the OF.

[Tedballgame]

Pivetta not fooling anyone so far.

[FredLynn]

They are just teeing off against Pivetta

[Tedballgame]

Smoltz completely wrong on where Rizzo's ball hit the fence.

Was about to say the same thing. He’s a generation talent and 23 year old superstar. He’s been on base over 1000 times already in his career

[Tedballgame]

Off to golf. Catch you later. Go Sox.
