Red Sox vs Yankees Doubleheader: Bennett vs Rodón (Game 1: 1:05pm) ; Bello(?) vs Fried (Game 2: 7:15pm)

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Red Sox are tough to kill. They've proven that.

[vegasbob]

Durbin either gets the run home or we will need to burden him with our thoughts. 

Caleb, that was worse than weak

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Durbin was due for a slump.

[vegasbob]

0-2, 0-2, 0-2, 0-2, chase, chase. chase

Leave RISP

Even great hitters, which Durbin isn't, get into slumps. It's as much baseball as peanuts and Cracker Jacks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's that 10% mental.

[vegasbob]

Tracy concedes and will let Burgos finish the inning.

Playing tomorrow's game tonight, awaiting RA

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Burgos back to Woo.

[vegasbob]

That was Burgos's mistake but I do think  Contreras overplays his position at times.

[vegasbob]

Doesn't Tracy know the run differential is at risk here??

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

7 runs for the Yankems w/o a homer is very rare.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bailey's telling Burgos the bus back to Woo is waiting in the parking lot.

[vegasbob]

SS, Burgos is uglier than Rodin and less talented

9 runs w/o a homer is even more rare. Burgos may be part of Yankem history.

Burgos is an innings eater. That's a euphemism for he sux.

[a700hitter]

Terrible inning.  Burgos couldn’t pitch around the defensive brain farts - one which was his.

Well I got the 90% part right. So then actually baseball is 90% physical and 10% mental.

 

Tomorrow’s game could be an important one. It will determine the season series winner 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hopefully, the Sox can get at least 6 good innings from Suarez tomorrow and he is LH.

Both of which are things of the past at ballparks, unlike slumps…

Burgos isn’t a major league pitcher.  Hes a fringey call up at best.  

The good news for the Sox is even in a double header, they really didn’t burn out their bullpen too badly…

And apparently doesn’t require him to eat large volumes of innings, which is good because, as you said, he’s an innings eater…

Yogi was much smarter than he looked.

Sounds like a Yogyism.

Speaking of "observing," wonder where Red has been?

Still watching some, but Red Sox gone to back burner with local high school, and college football starting up, NASCAR, and WNBA heating up, and NFL just around the corner. The Red Sox winning aside MLB is just not a good product this year.🤫

Go 0 for 5 and have no one care?

He can go 0-5 in Boston. He is getting paid enough to have fans care instead of partying all over town with Marcello.

Not sure if you heard, but Mayer got traded a while back.

No idea why his activities with Mayer became such a big deal. The whole idea that a guy with a partial tear of a ligament in one finger should rest at home in a hermetically sealed bag until he can play baseball again feels kind of controlling to me.  He signed on with the Boston Red Sox, not the US Army…

The army doesn't pay as well.

High school football?  I mean, if you a son, nephew or grandson, etc.  playing, I get it.  Beyond that, it’s weird to me. 
 

But not nearly as weird as complaining about the “MLB product” at a time when the Sox are still rolling, while also hyping the WNBA and NASCAR (which is not a sport IMO)…
