    They really need two. Sonny Gray has been awful, as has German. Tanaka has not even been as good as Johnson and Sabathia is an injury waiting to happen.
  2. FredLynn
    I could be wrong, but I think there is some rule where you can't play a team in your own division in the first round....so the Yankees would likely draw the Astros and the Sox would play the Guardians....long way to go though.
  3. FredLynn
    Yankees lose.
  4. FredLynn
    I can't argue with part of that post....the Yankees will indeed be tough to beat in the playoffs. I trust you know that the same will be true of the Red Sox. As for who will prevail, let the best team win.....as long as it isn't the Yankees.

    Are you going to deny that up to this point Johnson, our #5 SP, has been more effective than your #3 SP? No one knows what the final tally will be. I deal in what is real, right now. Understandably since the facts indicate that as of now your #3 SP is worse than our #5 SP, you prefer to deal with what might be the case in the future. As of right now we have seven more wins than the Yankees (who, as you know, are now trailing those pesky Rays 3-1 in the sixth). I would rather be in our position than yours. As for our pen, its going to be just fine. I expect DD to acquire a good RP. Then we will be set.
  6. FredLynn
    You're right. Lets use ERA+. Tanaka: 105 Johnson: 116 The facts are a bitch, aren't they.
  7. FredLynn
    Johnson, our #5 SP, has a lower ERA than Tanaka, ostensibly the Yankees #3 SP. Nuff said...almost....your team is going to be without your #1 catcher for a long time, perhaps all season long. Now nuff said. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24191404/yankees-expect-catcher-gary-sanchez-until-late-august-early-september

    Absolutely Jacko...its time for Sox fans to start wringing our hands and weeping publicly. All we have in the pen are four guys with an ERA of 2.50 or less and others who have lately been pitching well. How will we possibly survive? Oh wait.....we have seven more wins than the Yankees at this point.....never mind.
  9. FredLynn
    I for one had seen enough of Beeks. No velocity to his fastball....which is fine if you have great command, which he lacks. The move for Eovaldi would seem to imply that the Sox think that ERod may not come back until much later on, if at all, and that Pomeranz doesn't have the confidence of the FO to get the job done, possibly due to injury.
  10. FredLynn
    I am waiting for the Sox to announce that Pomeranz is going on the DL with the injury he suffered in ST that never resolved. Loss of velocity like he has shown makes me suspicious that an injury is the cause....it doesn't usually happen overnight like it has with him.
  11. FredLynn
    So the Yankees ended up with Britton, a RP they didn't really need unless Chapman is hurt more than they are letting on. They still need at least one, maybe two, very good SP.
  12. FredLynn
    We are currently 10-1 against the Orioles. No matter how much they stink, they are still a ML club. And if we toss Pomeranz against them the results are by no means a guaranteed win.
  13. FredLynn
    Not yet...but he could potentially give us 4-5 innings as he GETS stretched out. If ERod is coming back in another couple or three weeks it doesn't make a lot of sense to sign a SP IMO.....
  14. FredLynn
    If we lose the ALE by a game Cora should look back at this game as the reason we are the WC. July 24. Just a dumb dumb decision.
  15. FredLynn
    It depends on how soon ERod comes back-if he comes back. If the medical staff (gag gag) thinks he is lost for the season or close to it we will need another SP. Otherwise we can temporize with Velasquez.
  16. FredLynn
    Hate to agree with Jacko...ever...but Cora should have pulled him after the leadoff walk. And that was a no brainer. Just stupid.
  17. FredLynn
    Another error by Devers....his act is getting very very old.
  18. FredLynn
    I agree. Cora should have had someone ready in the pen to start the inning. Pomeranz stinks, but Cora should have known that.
  19. FredLynn
    Get rid of this bum
  20. FredLynn
    Get someone up in the pen.....we can't afford to lose the lead.
  21. FredLynn
    He was hurt. Hard to run hard that way.
  22. FredLynn
    First of all, your bullpen hasn't changed. Unless I am missing a trade that has been finalized. Second, Tanaka's ERA coming into this game is over 4.50. If thats "pretty good" then hopefully by the end of the year Severino will have been "pretty good" too. And I think its wonderful that Gray has had two good starts. I guess the rest of his horror shows don't count, right? Oh...and in case you haven't checked today's stats, the Yankees rank SEVENTH in SP ERA in the league. If you are happy with that I am too.
  23. FredLynn
    There. Key HR.
  24. FredLynn
    He is headed to the Astros according to most reports. The Yankees badly need probably TWO, not one, SP. Aside from Severino and the Butterball, no one is performing.
  25. FredLynn
    Moreland is bailing out every time he swings...maybe thats why he is in a slump.
