Yankees (Rodon) vs Red Sox (Dobbins): 6/14/25, 7:15pm

[Brandon Glick]

A three-game win streak. Six of the last eight. We have never been more back than we are right now. I am predicting a 44-run win tonight, since that will give the Sox a higher run differential than the Yankees.

Some of you make too big a deal about the competition coming up.

It really doesn't matter. Red Sox can play well against good teams and poorly versus bad teams.

We are the fifth best team with a record 18-20 against >.500 teams in the American League. But right now we're seed #9 in the playoff chase.

Two of the current six playoff bound teams have losing records versus >.500 team. 

The Twins in the sixth spot has a 14-20 vs >.500 teams and the Rays lead the league with 22-14 versus >.500 teams.

Maybe we should do better against bad teams and along with not being dominant at home, each game is an adventure for us. Good thing is that we can compete and beat the Yankees but on the flip side we can also play poorly against the White Sox and lose.

I don't care who we play. Just go win the series and we'll get there at the end.

I like that Cora has moved Duran out of the 1 slot vs LHPs. He did again, today.  Romy batting 3rd is an interesting move,  that was done yesterday, too.

1. R Refsnyder RF

2. L Devers DH

3. R Romy 1B

4. R Narvaez C

5. L Duran LF

6. R Story SS

7. R Rafaela CF

8. L Mayer 3B

9. R Campbell 2B

Nice play by Romy.

[Deja Doh]

I like Dobbins.  Lots of movement on his pitches in an era when many players are looking fastball.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you. Sox accept all the help they can get to score lead off doubles.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Soccer, a boring way to ruin a perfectly nice lawn.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran plays balls off the monster better than any LF I've ever seen.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Someone please notify Devers that it isn't September yet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very nice defense by Mayer.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story making up for Devers' impotence.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The ugly bearded guy has left the building.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe Dobbins can now be officially added to the list of pleasant surprises.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Guerrero is the Sox relief thrower.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Guerrero sux; so does his manager.

[Larry Cook]

Why Guerrero ???  He sucks 

[FredLynn]

Cora brings in Wilson a batter too late

Idiot

[FredLynn]

Four runs won’t win the game 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by Wilson.

[moonslav59]

Wilson has sure proved me wrong. (Chapman, too.)

Almost

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Assuming Fried is human, I believe he's due for a bad start tomorrow. Here's hoping.
