OK, I was wrong. Germain is getting away with murder, and the umpire is letting him. He's throwing curves, for crying out loud. So this stupid no-hitter simply doesn't count.
-
The problem is obvious. The Sox hitters aren't swing hard enough.
-
Sanchez caught the Vazquez passed ball bug!
-
Duran and Dalbec, what a pair.
-
I think I saw Duran in a supporting role in the Clint Eastwood film, Trouble with the Curve--except he's much skinnier than that guy was. But he has that swing and miss down pat.
-
Hmmmmm. Looks like Cora wants to win this game after all. So do the Sox hitters of course. The problem is Germain and the simple fact that good pitching tops good hitting.
-
Not today. Today would be a good day to send Andriese in so that the fans will realize this game is over.
-
I think Cora will leave Perez in, not because he ain't getting hit, but because he can see the Sox bats today are dead. Why waste the bullpen in a lost cause?
-
5 innings, 0 hits. Good pitching beats good hitting, except when Eovaldi pitches great, goes 7.2 innings, and Ottavino gives the game away.
-
I've felt free to fire away at Perez on this thread and others, but he has now gone 5, giving up 2, while throwing 63 pitches. Not too shabby even if this isn't a typical Yankees lineup. So the fault clearly lies with the lineup, which, wait for it, is hitless in 4 innings.
-
Meanwhile, the Yankees own Perez and are putting big dents in the green monster. Correction. Perez still has his golden GIDP pitch.
-
Take care.
-
I myself have railed against the shifts, mostly because they are computer-driven, but splendid splinter has a point. Hitters have an option. The Yankees, for example, appear to know how to bunt and hit to the opposite field. The Sox, not so much.
-
Germain seems to be getting stronger and better. Perez is, well, Perez.
-
Perez gets a huge break--because the wheels were definitely coming off. The Sox lineup, on the other hand, continues to grovel at Germain's feet.
-
Excellent point.
-
Cordero is absolutely clueless at the plate.
-
It sure was, but three hitters too late.
-
That's the thing, right there. The Yankees get a break, an opportunity, and jump on it. Not with a dinger, but with a little old single that with 2 outs brings a run home. They did that 4 times last night.
-
2 walks can never be good even assuming Perez gets Odor out.
-
Except for being injury-prone, he is kind of amazing in how well he plays right field (at his height).
-
Duran's OPS continues to go up and down like a yo-yo. Early days. Unlike the more experienced Dalbec, he has a better notion of where the strike zone is. Kind of amazing he is batting 2d and Verdugo has been dropped to 6th, so today the lefty bats are again 2d, 4th, and 6th. Oh, and Cordero 9th (if that means anything).
-
Perez a little lucky on that line out by Sanchez, but those two K's were impressive.
-
Sox won game 1 even with Ottavino coughing up 2 runs, then beat Cole in game 2 when our starter, ERod, left after getting just 3 outs and leaving 2 on and no outs in the 2d, but lost last night when Ottavino again gave up 2 runs. My small take is this is just another excellent Yankees-Sox series even with the Yankees having a down year. And now Perez coughs up a leadoff double, after which he K's Giancarlo Stanton.

A Realistic View at 2021: Part II

Bette Davis (as Margo Channing in All About Eve): fasten your seat belts; it's going to be a bumpy night. That describes this season and a big chunk of the games and game threads.
