Red Sox (Suarez) vs Yankees (Warren): 08/30/26, 1:35 PM

[Brock Beauchamp]

Suarez takes the ball for the Red Sox this afternoon at Yankee Stadium as Boston faces Warren and the Yankees.

[iortiz]

Hopefully Anthony can stay healthy for once and for all moving forward. It’s crazy the amount of injuries (and all different) at 22 yo already.

[FredLynn]

This would be a good game to win. It has potential playoff implications.

[moonslav59]

3 GB the NYY

We win: it's 2 GB.

We lose: it's 4 GB.

2 game swing with one win (or loss.)

[JAG]

I like this lineup against Warren. My family knows there will be silence in the house at 130pm today so prepare well.

[vegasbob]

If Anthony and Story get 9+ABs between them. there will be 5 Ks or more

I like it, too.

I'd have put Sogard at SS and Story at 2B, but we all know why these guys are too chicken to do what is best for the team. (It's too late to trade Story like we did Devers, and nobody wants him.)

It's too bad Gasper wasn't productive enough to stay. I hope you're pissed off Mickey; I would be.

He may be back in 2 days, but I agree.

What was the hurry on Trevor?

They were even too chicken to bat Story 9th.

Money. It's usually always about money.

Breslow treated him like the AAAA'er Mickey is. Use him and lose him. 

Now we get to watch the old pro Story chase and whiff

Moon, I think if you get sent down to MiL, there may be a 10 day wait period before recall

Good for Anthony to get it going right away.

Unfortunately he is where Sox runners go to die. 2B, no outs

 

[iortiz]

The more I see Rafaela's ABs the more I think he's a chaser rather than trust in his pitching recognition. Yet he has great numbers this season.

Willson ???

Doesn’t feel like he is seeing ball well both he and Durbin. Swinging at balls way out of zone. Some tough AB’s lately

Horrible AB.

Read the words. Anthony with a leadoff double dies on 2B as your 2,4 5 hitters flail away and watch strikes go by

[Bailey_Fox]

We gotta have a good 5-6 innings from Suarez today 

[vegasbob]

NYY in the same set up as Boston, 2 on  1 out. Suarez needs a DP

Let's see what happens 

[Bailey_Fox]

It’s clear to me that our big hitters are trying WAY to hard to be just that. Big hitters. They’re swinging out of their shoes with little to no regard of where the strike zone actually is. 

[vegasbob]

Ironic that OB and Lou are amazed that opponent hitters don't chase out of zone

Wonderful, got the DP despite giving up the bullet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming.

That's 1 of 5

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Gasper gets optioned after a good shot at being named player of the week.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

...

[iortiz]

Ranger throwing a lot of pitches outside the zone. Seems like he's not confident of his stuff. Somebody tell him this NYY team is in slump. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Conversation in Chad's office:

Chad: "Mickey, I have good and bad news for you."

Mickey: "What's the good news?"

Chad: "You might be named player of the week."

Mickey: " That's cool. What's the bad news?"

Chad: "We're sending you back to Woo."
