Yankees (Yarbrough) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 6/13/25, 7:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

The pitching matchup is in our favor. Home field advantage is in our favor.

All I'm saying is every sweep starts off with a win.

[mvp 78]

Sox have a history of taking Yarbrough to the woodshed. Don't mess this one up.

Yanks starting three lefties this series. Does that mean Cora will be sitting Anthony and Mayer all three games?

He shouldn't sit Anthony more than one game as Anthony has always hit LHP well. Mayer may well sit all 3 games. We'll see.

He did pinch hit for Anthony against a lefty just the other day (IIRC). But maybe it was a late game situation.

I could see pinch hitting against a tougher lefty matchup, but I don't think it should be an automatic switch they way Cora treats some of these other LHBs.

Any "buying" would just be clearing out Rule 5 guys that they don't want to add to the 40 man in the offseason.

This is Cora.  He sat Devers vs LHP a first, too.

I expect Refsnyder and Romy to start all three games over Anthony and Mayer.  Sorry to any fans who bought tickets…

If Anthony sits all three games, I'll be onboard the fire Cora bandwagon.

He may not sit out all three, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he started none of them…

i bet he'll figure out a way to get Hamilton in all three.

I’m ok with that if it’s as a pinch runner.  Especially as a pinch ghost runner…

According to Cora it's an organizational philosophy.  Managerial input into this stuff is limited now.

i'm fine with that too, but knowing Cora and his L-R obsession, he'd pinch hit for Ted Williams if there was a lefty on the mound.

He did this before Breslow so I'm going to say he's just passing the buck here.

Cora forever... 🤩

It’s been going on for years (ex: Devers).  How many decision makers are still in the organization since then? Cora.  Henry.  Anyone else?

I do doubt Henry tells Cora how to make a lineup…

Don’t go overboard.  
 

So who had Romy and Narvaez batting 3rd and 4th for the first Yankee game at Fenway?

Narvaez is the only guy that can hit 4th this year. Romy destroys LHP. I'm fine with it. 

[dgalehouse]

Ryan Yarbrough is a soft tossing career ham and egger. Big edge to the Sox in this one.

2 guys manning first and none at third is .... interesting.

[drewski6]

Im fine with Romy in the game, but why not put him at 1b and Mayer at 3b? Does Toro need to play this game? Too hot to sit? And even if you start with Mayer on the bench, am I missing something when I question why not flip Mustache and Toro positionally.

Toro destroys LHP. Mayer does not.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the game on YES, featuring the insufferables Mary Kaye and Girardi. Fortunately, the other moron, O'Neill, isn't there.

Judge is an example when mother's milk is full of steroids .

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Since 2021 Ref has a .403 OBP against lefties.
