  1. I thought the rule was it was caught if it went into the glove and went out when the player was transferring it. In any case, an awful play by Vazquez, which subsequently allowed Judge to put the Yankees ahead.
  2. After all that bragging on Dalbec's improved defense, he does that in a huge and close game. Awful.
  3. Credit to Vazquez, who has called a good game, thrown a runner out for a crucial out, and driven in a run.
  4. That double was probably inevitable. Richards, like Hernandez last night, has a simple remedy when he starts walking people: just throw fastballs right down the middle and hope. Hope, however, is not a method. So here comes Ottavino with 1 out and Yankees on 2d and 3d in a 3-2 game. And let's not forget those 3 runs are owed to the Yankees inept defense, plus assorted wild pitches. 9 hits notwithstanding, the Sox hitting stinks again tonight.
  5. You, sir, must be a baseball fan. This game has drifted into the twilight zone.
  6. What is it with this bullpen? Richard has good stuff and can get guys out, but not if he can't throw strikes.
  7. Great catch and tag by Bogey! Plus that guy got a big jump on Richards, but Vazquez still got the ball there in the nick of time.
  8. So now Richards decides it's his turn to give the game away. A leadoff walk to the 9th guy in the Yankees lineup.
  9. Two completely unforgivable Yankee errors, right after they show--for the umpteenth time in this televised series--Schwarber missing that popup in the infield. This broadcast is so pro-Yankee it's sickening. This does not mean I don't think the Yankees are the better team. But it does mean they will take cheap shots at the Sox but never, ever at the Yankees.
  10. Fast ball right down the middle and Schwarber pops out--except it was dropped. A second fast ball down the middle, another foul pop out of play.
  11. Bad call by the ump, but it was also merciful. Kike was going to K because he was clueless.
  12. No big hit, but Boone did his best for Iggy, Dugo, and even Vazquez. Sox tie it on a hard single, an accidental drag bunt that worked, the ever popular wild pitch, and a sac fly. Oh, and the Sox bullpen ain't looking too shabby. It would be nice to see Richards in the 8th. Cora is definitely outmanaging Boone.
  13. Post of the game. Boone lends a helping hand to the Sox.
  14. Nifty moves by Cora, and a solid single by Iggy! And a lucky drag bunt by Dugo for 2 on and no outs!
  15. The Sox have scored over 5 runs a game this year. Now, in the biggest series of a very long season, the hitters are stinking it up against a pitching staff that give up an average of 4 runs a game. So, no, I don't think this game is on ERod.
  16. The standings stay otherwise, and, frankly, I think the standings rule on this point. I do, however, agree the Yankees are better. The Sox were better for three months, but now the Yankees clearly are because they have the pitching.
  17. Completely disagree given how this team is structured. They clearly have the hitting, so the lineup needs to deliver. ERod giving up 2 runs in 5 innings is more than reasonable, especially with a bullpen that currently is well rested.
  18. Fine with me. He just K'd. Again. On a low and away slider. Again.
  19. I do not think Bogey stinks. Far from it. But I do think the Yankees bullpen is deep and talented.
  20. Robles sure likes his slider, and I'm wondering why. It was his first pitch last night and scored a run on a WP. Tonight Judge hammered it, but it was too flat and Dugo grabbed it in from of the wall. Correction. Two of those sliders made Stanton look silly on a K. Tomorrow's another off day, so I kind of hope Robles pitches the 7th.
  21. Meh. Singles by Renfroe and and Kike were harder hit. Ball was hit to LeMaHieu's right and he still could field it cleanly.
  22. I would pinch hit for Vazquez, but also think he is good with the bullpen--better than Plawecki. That GIDP, however, really hurt, surrounded as it was by 3 hits.
  23. Vazquez with his fav--another GIDP.
  24. You're right, of course, but I see game threads as primarily reactive vs. thoughtful/analytical. ERod got tagged plus the BB, but he did well to escape with 2 runs, plus 2 runs in 5 innings isn't half bad. Meanwhile, however, it's an honest question to wonder if the Sox bats are ever going to come alive against the Yankees. Dugo with a hitters opposite field single!!
