Red Sox (Early) vs Yankees (Schlittler): 10/2/25, 8:08pm

[FredLynn]

I think we went about as far as can be expected given the talent level on this team. It sucks that we will lose to the Yankmees to end the season but next year will hopefully be better.

[d-money]

Get a strikeout.

[d-money]

He’s gonna walk wells.

Duran and Rafaela have f***ed this team. They have done diddly poo.

Oh, stop it.  They sure haven't done much in the postseason, but did a lot during the season.  

[vegasbob]

So Lowe is the sack of crap we thought he was

I like you better when you're Debbie Downer. Your condescending posts are BS.

[FredLynn]

Lowe blows it. No need to watch the rest of this. 
But hey! Just wait til next year, right? Same thing as every year. 

[d-money]

Good season but this offense sucks dick. Sox migjt need to get another starter next to their ace.

But Max , the season is over. You only play the season to get to this point trying to win it all

[Nineintime]

Talk about a team that screwed their starter.  What a complete joke.  Lowe needs to be DFAd during the pitching change.

And? It’s when it counts period. 

[illinoisredsox]

Early deserved a much better fate this inning.  But we’ve seen this all year; plays that should be made aren’t and the floodgates open.

Don’t read them

Early induced three grounders in a row and the Yankees scored four runs on them.

Well time to be a blue jays fan.

The defense betrayed Early.  That double should have been an out.

Max, you remind me of Henry Fonda in the movie 12 Angry Men.

[d-money]

I expect this team to go meekly into the night.

No it wasn’t.  Stanton is a very dangerous hitter.  DP still in order.

Not all walks are bad and he almost got him on the 3-2 pitch.

He got the ground ball that could have been 2 if it’s hit 4 feet right.

The only problem with that walk was the Yankees followed it up with two routine grounders that found the OF because the Sox were playing for a double play.

Unlucky inning for Early.  What was the hardest hit ball?  The seeing eye groundball by Rosario?

[Nineintime]

Congrats to Early for battling.  His players gave up on him.  Love what I saw from that kid.

We will need a good #2 SP and a  first baseman who can hit plus another offensive weapon.

Same things we needed but didn’t get at the TD

Next year. Again

[d-money]

They don’t have 2 runs in them much less 4. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

When the Sox are eliminated, so am I.

I'm annoyed at Hudson for pointing at 3B  to a fast runner who of course  was not going 100% either. It's right in your vision that there is no one covering 3B.

The 3rd baseman is not even in the frame. Easily 15 feet away.  Ideal play round as far as 3b is away from bag. Absolutely no play on him at 3B.

The only play was at 1B and I think toshida beats it out with a good throw anyway.

The bad catch on Rice's part you can anticipate it with one of your fastest runners rounding 3B. If Rice would have just caught the ball like a short hop grounder and given up the force play this is a non issue. However, IMO Rice is not an inexperienced defender and let's anticipate that it may be a bad throw since he is rushing to get the third out.

Of course, can we not go back to why is rafaela bunting with our two fastest runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs and a brand new pitcher in the game and fresh off of some good ABs? Basically, we played that inning with only 2 outs since we gifted them 1 out.

Welcome to Talk Sox!

It could have been but that was hardly a routine play.  The only real poor defense was by Lowe…

[Duran Is The Man]

game over. season over. time to start looking forward to next year.

Realistically, they went as far as their talent permitted 

[Maxbialystock]

Game is over.  

Finally, a fly ball Abreu can catch.  

4 runs on a very weak double, a walk, and a whole bunch of singles.  

Early deserved better.   He was certainly let down by his teammates who have been exposed in front of a pretty big TV audience. Viewers from wherever have to be wondering how the heck the Sox got to the postseason with this motley crew.

How come you've never mentioned the TD before?

[illinoisredsox]

Maybe Schlitters arm tightened up during that long inning.
