Red Sox (May) vs Yankees (Rodon): 8/24/25, 7:10pm

I love the in-game interviews simply because they usually go wrong.  But watching Casas answer really insensitive questions with grace made me a fan.  And Raphaela?  Damn.  Didn't seem to distract his fielding much, no?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yankem fans not booing. That's not good.

Hey Fred, still waiting for that list of at least 14 Sox players who suck.  You promised it Thursday night. Where is it?

[d-money]

Always happens when they score a bunch of runs the following day they look bad.

The only booth worse than the ESPN booth is John Wilkes Booth.

Just keep waiting. I’ll let you know when I’m finished

His dog ate it.

Rodon looks on tonight.  This pitching matchup didn’t favor the Sox, and if Carlos is in a groove, how May pitches probably won’t matter.

[Maxbialystock]

That dinger was inevitable.  But I think May is getting good defensive support.

Rafaela just made a running grab that I believe no other Sox second baseman would have caught.  So a point for Cora for putting him there. 

[Tedballgame]

At least try to be competitive Mr. May

[FredLynn]

This is the guy I expected when we got him

[d-money]

This guy is not a starter.

I figured as much.   You’re going to wimp out.

Six are sending the wrong starter to the pen.  May is worse than walker 

[Maxbialystock]

Another Yankees dinger off another very fat pitch.  May apparently is incapable of pitching low in the zone.

I said after the game. I didn’t say WHICH game

You always expect the Spanish Inquisition.

Both are in the same class. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox got two good starts from him. Be thankful.

We all did, but his last 2 starts were excellent.  

Tonight he seems to have decided to pitch batting practice--pitches primarily in the center of the zone with not much break--against the team that leads MLB in dingers.

“

Now let’s sweep these bastards!

The Yankmees are a good fastball hitting team and May has a good sweeper. If he can locate it today we have a good chance to do it.”

Nuff said 

[Tedballgame]

Its still early but the Sox are not getting any good swings against Rodon.

Eaton is AAAA player

I don’t think anyone should expect a #4-5 SP to be great every time out

Ya know what's more difficult than a 3 game sweep?

First correct answer gets an all expense paid trip to Brower County. You're responsible for your own hospital bills.

[Maxbialystock]

Excellent at bat Easton.   Yes, out, but 7 pitches.  Rhoden has 54 pitches in 3 IP.

You spelled his name wrong. It's Rodent.

[Nineintime]

Nice angle Eaton

They aren't.  They've had some good pitches to swing at, but just fouled them off.  Rodon has also thrown some nasty pitches for strikes. 

Rafaela catches that double Duran missed.
