8/20 @ Yankees

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Here's an interesting stat. The SOX are 51-3 when leading after 6 innings. Best mark in MLB.

Devers= Yankees Daddy

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Devers was motivated to score on that errant throw because he knew Duvall was on deck.

[moonslav59]

If I'm not mistaken, Devers went about 20 games recently with a total of 3 RBI.

 

Maybe because everyone in front of him had a .150 OBP.

 

BTW, in that stretch, he had a .706 OPS- not good, but not awful, either.

[Jasonbay44]

Will these dumb f*** umpires ever be held accountable for this ********? If I was this bad at my job I’d be fired

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One has to wonder if the SOX offense is better with Urias playing 2nd and Reyes at SS. Two bad calls by the chUMP that evened out and a terrible swing and miss by SOS.

 

SOS=Same Old Story

But not Devers-like.

TOR winning big.

 

SEA up, again, on HOU.

 

Maybe these two teams are for real, but we will need to pass both or one plus HOU.

Exactly, Devers like and just about every other good hitter.

 

They all have slumps, and if .706 is as bad as the slump gets, I'll take it.

I'd love it if by chance Houston didn't make the PO's.

What is it with Duran leaping up the wall on a fly/liner well out of his reach? He does that regularly. Just once I'd like to see him do that when it actually made a difference.

 

Cora was right to complain and get tossed. Normally, I think it's a bad idea, but the ump is ridiculous--and in favor of the Yankees pitchers. I think they get away with these bad calls because they are unionized.

 

I could fix the bad calls without robo umps, but their union would object. I would simply set a standard--not too high, but not the ridiculous no standard they currently have--that, if not met, the ump would not get paid for that game. I would have another standard, much higher, that, if met, doubled that ump's pay for the game.

[Maxbialystock]

Excellent bunt by Reyes on his first attempt. They need to get rid of him because he makes the rest of his team look amateurish (when it comes to bunting).

[Oscars]

Turner is so clutch .

He’s the ginger Papi 😂

[Maxbialystock]

Good pitching and the 3 run dinger = Earl Weaver's formula for success.

[moonslav59]

Turner has been a God send!

[moonslav59]

It might not have anything to do with chance, if we win 6 or 7 out of the 7 we play them in the next 2 weeks,

That was a strike on the second pitch. Getting squeezed.

[d-money]

Get this guy out of the damn game!!!!!

[d-money]

He got squeezed on the second pitch but the other pitches where outside the zone.

[d-money]

Nice going cora you 🤡

[d-money]

This BP imploding once again.

[Maxbialystock]

Those pitches called balls were called strikes for the Yankees pitcher, after which Cora got thrown out of the game for complaining.

[d-money]

This guy imploded against the bottom of this lineup. Go figure.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice going cora you

 

Not Cora's fault, not by a long shot.

[d-money]

Those pitches called balls were called strikes for the Yankees pitcher, after which Cora got thrown out of the game for complaining.

 

The second pitch was a strike against Mckinney but the others where balls.

[d-money]

They need to get him out of the game now!!!!!

[Maxbialystock]

One more time. The pitches by Schreiber called balls were exactly where (but closer to the strike zone) the ump was calling them strikes for the Yankees pitcher against Story.

Are you following on game day?

[d-money]

I don’t like Schreiber staying in the game. He looks rattled.

[mvp 78]

DFA schreiber. Should have traded him deadline ‘22 at height of his value.
