I’d rather hear the idiots talk than listen to horrendous static after every out.

For those still stuck in rush hour, Sogard took that feed from Story at 2B, pulled a sharpie out of his back pocket, signed his name and number in cursive on the ball, then doubled up Stanton at 1B.

With this crew it's a great thing.

[Deja Doh]

Can Ravech and Perez be a little less bias.  Can't stand listening when Perez is talking.

[illinoisredsox]

Unfortunately, Fried looks sharp tonight.

No.  You’ve never seen/heard this on any Sunday night game?

The only guy worse is Costas.

[vegasbob]

The previous 2 finished games today had the loser scoring only 1 run.

Sox have the Yanks right where they want them

Hope do, because right now he’s got 4 pitches going.

How many of us penciled in Sogard in the starting lineup of a playoff game?

[vegasbob]

I will be ok with it if Refsnyder retires after this season. Good player. can hit some but not going to make a big difference 

Story forgot September already and Fried makes him look foolish

Just Cora.

Horrible AB by Story. Somebody tell him he doesn’t have to swing at everything. Just awful!!

Surprised the Sox hottest hitter isn't in the lineup. But I shouldn't be surprised knowing how much Cora loves platooning.

What’s the balance between the righty lefty lineup and how good a hitter is regardless?  Yoshida has been on fire lately. 

[vegasbob]

Crochet is not finishing his pitches well but still gets Ks

He hasn't been hitting well lately, so he may be going through his cold spell.

I need the Secret Council of Italians to recall Anthony Volpe to their HQ immediately

Like I've posted previously Cora likes the Platoon more than Oliver Stone.

Yankee crowd cannot distinguish a 300' pop fly from a 450' blast

Too late.

Maybe they thought it was going to RF.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fried's #2 is making the Sox offense look like #2.

Neither could the announcers; you could hear the disappointment.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This ESPN crew makes me feel like I'm watching this game on YES.

I would venture to guess the Frieds CU is more effective against righties because of its travel time to the plate.  Lefties have to commit earlier and se it earlier.  Not loving the right heavy lineup

[illinoisredsox]

A check swing double Karl?

If that had been a Yankee hitter they’d be talking about what good hitting that was.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Yoshida does have 3 career homers in the Stadium -- just saying. That's 3 more than Duran...

[vegasbob]

3-0, take 2 strikes. swing at ball 4.
