I d like to see Duran bunt here; this does not look like a good matchup for him.

Yankees' Hill totally screwed by the ump.  Awful  Single for Bregman to lead off 8th.  

Ya mean Gil?

I seriously doubt Duran practices bunting. Takes too much time away from the weight room.

FWIW, a low inside anything to Anthony gets you a swinging strike. That area is a big hole in his swing and his vision.  

Gonzalez batting for Hamilton, so the Yanks bring in a righty, their 5th reliever and 6th pitcher.  De los Santos ERA is 2.56.

Romys on my suck list too

Now another low and inside pitch that is hit weakly to 2b by Gonzalez.  Apparently, few Sox hitters recognize that pitch is low and inside and not in the strike zone.

Typical limp biscuit Sox.  Everything limps as it should towards another loss

I don''t think so either, but I like what Weissert and Matz have done.  

They definitely did the job tonight. A little less drama and they’d get a A

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is Lowe now the face of the Red Sox?

[FredLynn]

Now we play the “get to Chapman” game

Very good job by Whitlock.

You are dead right about the drama, but that's what makes baseball so riveting.  I would have bet money the Sox couldn't win tonight and they could still lose.  But, despite the rotten hitting, they cling to that 1 run lead in the 9th freaking inning.

He’s sucked for a long time now. He gets a seat on my list

Nevermind, I forgot the Yankem reliever Hill.

Honesty-I thought they’d get blown out

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

You can put that error on the board.

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela swung at the right pitch and hit it, but still suffers from round bat round ball squarely disease.  And right now he has plenty of company.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hard to believe that both these teams may actually be going somewhere.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anthony Romanized that one!

[Jasonbay44]

Roman. f***ing. Anthony 

[FredLynn]

I was about to call that

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

And the 21 year old will lead them.

[Maxbialystock]

Gotta love Anthony,  Huge dinger in the 9th when really needed.

But give some credit to the Yankees pitcher for not throwing the ball low and inside.

I come to bury the Yankems, not to praise them.

[iortiz]

Anthony and Bregman are carrying this team. Whata bomb! 

[moonslav59]

Roman Dynasty!

Sure you were.  You do indeed possess 20-20 hindsight.

That was unkind.  Too true, but unkind.  

[iortiz]

Did I see well and are they really 2 for 18 in this game with RISP? lol 

…and the Yankees also made 4 errors, didn’t they?
