Yankees (Cole) vs Red Sox (Bennett): 6/27/26, 1:10pm

Brock Beauchamp · Saturday at 01:26 PM

Hey, the Sox beat the Yankees!

Bennett has looked pretty good. The Perales trade is barely mentioned when talking Brez deals, but maybe this one sneaks in as a big plus.

He only has 5 starts, so we need to keep that in mind. He has lasted 5+ IP each start.

His second and third starts were not good:

10.1 IP 13 Hits 8 ER 3BB 5K

His other 3 starts have been very good or better:

16.1 IP 12 Hits 3ER 2BB 17K

Overall, he has only 5 BB in 26.2 IP (one was an IBB) 22Ks is not great but not bad either, and the 4.4 K:BB ratio is very nice.

Today's Line-Up:

1. Yoshida DH at .640 and needs to pick it up!

2. Rafaela CF at a steady .772

3. Abreu RF at .782, which is near but under his .788 career OPS.

4. Contreras 1B at a pretty steady .900

5. Duran LF at .623 and on the decline

6. Durbin 3B at .670 and on the rise

7. Seigler 2B at .796 and fielding very well

8. Narvaez C at .574 which is up 24 points in 2 days.

9. Cheng SS (Highest OPS on the team...LOL)

moonslav59 · Saturday at 04:14 PM

No Judge and Rice in the Yankee line-up, again!

No matter one's thoughts on analytic reliance , how do Gasper and Yoshida rate a place at the top of the lineup.

If they do get on base, neither runs very well, however, note that Yoshi has not been thrown out (SSS) stealing in a long time. Neither has he hit productively in a long time Gasper is out of gas and could have his career highlight reel produced now.

Obviously Cheng should be leading off today , not having to wait until the 3rd inning to slam a double off the CF wall.

Cheng has a career .382 OPS in 11 PA, but apparently that’s good enough to crown him Barry Larkin 2.0…

Actually, Yoshida has never been thrown out stealing in MLB. He picks his spots very well.

As long as he isn't Mayer 2.0.

Team's OBP leaders (120+ PAs) :

.375 Contreras (bats 4th)

.337 Abreu (bats 3rd)

.331 Rafaela (bats 2nd)

.324 Yoshida

.305 Gasper

.284 Durbin

Believe it or not, those two appear to be the best options up first.

IKF is at .344 & Anthony at .354, but both are on the IL.

Wong is at .362 with 107 PAs, so he could be an option. Other low PA players:

.500 Cheng (4 PAs)

.429 Eaton (21)

.367 Seigler (30)

.350 Sogard (41)

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 05:39 PM

Seigler later!

jad · Saturday at 05:40 PM

Yeah, Yoshi couldn't even get on base to be driven in.

5GoldGlovesOF,75 · Saturday at 05:41 PM

We interrupt this lost season for another freaking BOMB off Garritt Assclown!

moonslav59 · Saturday at 05:42 PM

Sox shredding Cole into slaw.

moonslav59 · Saturday at 05:54 PM

Sox SP'er ERA since....

3.00 June 12th (3rd)

3.37 April 25th (2nd)

3.77 Season (7th)

Not counting today.

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 05:57 PM

Contrares continues to continue.

Do not throw a .180 major league hitter a fast ball down the middle.

a700hitter · Saturday at 06:22 PM

Is the yellow line on the wall a HR, or does it have to be to the right of the yellow line? That was a strange carom. I can’t remember a ball hitting the line and deflecting to the right of the line to hit the shelf below.

I would say hitting the yellow line is a HR. Similar to hitting the fair pole.

Another nice outing by Bennett. He was in command.

Three very good starts by the three young starters.

vegasbob · Saturday at 07:07 PM

Not exactly the Yanks A lineups. but Red Sox ran 3 rookies at them so far and should win all 3. Maybe go sweeping tomorrow

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 07:19 PM

Could Ross be the next Sox manager? Stay tuned.

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 07:33 PM

The BP was excellent today.

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 07:34 PM

The Yankems lose.

Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee Yankems lose!

5GoldGlovesOF,75 · Saturday at 07:36 PM

Nervous what Breslow will do if the Sox sweep tomorrow...

Last time they looked this good vs. NY he traded their one true power hitter.

And after their biggest victory by 16 runs this season, he fired Cora and the whole non-Bailey coaching staff.

SPLENDIDSPLINTER · Saturday at 07:39 PM

10 straight quality starts for the Sox. That's impressive.

moonslav59 · Saturday at 07:42 PM

Sox Current Rotation ERAs (OPS Against)

2.78 Tolle (.586)

2.83 Suarez (.607)

2.95 Gray (.705)

3.27 Bennett (.629 before today!)

3.59 Early (.726)

Kapow!!!

So what you're saying is Breslow will be gone Monday morning?
