8/14 NYY vs Red Sox at Fenway 7:10 EDT/4:10PDT

[vegasbob]

Mr Taillon ( 11-2 3.45 ERA) vs the return of Wacky Wacha (6-1 , 2.69 ERA). Michael Wacha will take his superlative stats against a tough opponent in Taillon. .

 

For the Sox supposed mid lineup guys, Devers, Bogaerts and JDM , all pitchers are looking tough right now. This triple slump led to the slow start out of the gates in April/early May. It's baaaack !

 

It would be great to win this series in a big bat way to support Wacha's return.

[dgalehouse]

The Yankees have not been hitting for a while now. Need to keep that going for at least one more night.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wacha? Damn, that name sounds familiar.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Simon and two BARFunckels.

[d-money]

Would be nice if this offense showed up tonight. They should hit this guy.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Need a rally killed? Operators are standing by.

[d-money]

This pathetic offense has been the story of this series thus far.

[FredLynn]

While it would be best to lose every remaining game that doesn’t include games against the Yankmees.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

No sugar cube for Judge after that.

[d-money]

Get Wacha some insurance runs.

[d-money]

CY Taillon.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As most of you already know, Trey Turner is a FA after this season. Bloom, with JH's permission of course, should make a serious attempt to sign him. He's on a one-year 21 mil contract right now with LA. I'd take Turner over Bogey in a NY minute.

[d-money]

Come on wacha.

What will make Trey a tough acquisition is that most GM's feel the same way.

[d-money]

Wacha about to implode? Seriously dude a walk?

[d-money]

Thank goodness he got out of that.

[jacksonianmarch]

Can’t go deep with Wacha. Yankees continue to not be able to hit

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Can’t go deep with Wacha. Yankees continue to not be able to hit

 

Let's hope it continues into October.

[d-money]

Christ this offense is just pathetic.

[d-money]

It feels like another 2-1 L in the end.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Christ this offense is just pathetic.

 

What offense?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Most managers would juggle the line-up around to maybe shake up the offense, but, unfortunately, the SOX manager is a genius.

[d-money]

Some offense yeaaah

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

DEVERS DEliVERS! Been awhile. He's the difference maker in this line-up. Any chance the SOX have will be on his shoulders the rest of the way.

[d-money]

Big inning here coming up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pham has been an unexpected surprise. Nice pick-up by Bloom.

[Maxbialystock]

Wacha has been unreal tonight. A lot like Sale in that he is all business and doesn't shake off pitches. Unlike Sale, he has an excellent repertoire and very good command. That he is this good on his first start back is astounding.

 

Some credit has to go to Plawecki--despite the snide remark last night that McGuire is the only decent catcher.

 

I was about to comment that Devers is struggling against heat, but I think I'll hold that for a later game.

[d-money]

Very good start by wacha.

[moonslav59]

Pham has been an unexpected surprise. Nice pick-up by Bloom.

 

All some noticed was trading away 2 months of Vaz.

[jacksonianmarch]

Wacha has the yanks guessing which is pissing me off. Have a plan first two strikes and react with 2 strikes. It looks like the yanks decided to pick a zone they’re swinging in an swinging regardless of the pitch or location. Just a slumping team right now. They need Stanton to come back and extend the lineup
