I know, it's awful how the umpires are out to cheat the Red Sox. Or maybe they're awful because you have that magical rectangle on the screen which gives you a false impression of reality.
Vazquez was out, whether on that pitch or the next. The whining by the Sox in the dugout is unmerited.
Home plate ump is not a chump and in fact has a solid reputation.
You want bush league, look at the Yankees fans in the stands.
OK. Sure looks like the good Eovaldi. Forget that K of Stanton, who stinks this year. I liked getting LeMahieu out after he fouled off all those pitches.
Raining. Yankees started the game 50 minutes late when there was no rain. The WEEI guys are right: the Yankees are really, really stupid. They have their ace on the mound and the chances are good he won't get 5 innings.
Good pitching tops good hitting almost every time. Cole looks good tonight, and JDM and Devers were helpless/hopeless. Credit to Verdugo on the fly to LF to move Hernandez to 3b.
So now let's see which Eovaldi takes the mound tonight.
No chance of that. Eovaldi isn't that good, and the Yankees have their very best bats in the lineup tonight. I just hope Eovaldi can get to the 2d and maybe even the 3d inning without giving up more than 5 runs.
Well, as a minority of one, let me say I don't want no stinkin' rover era. Yes, I want to see Duran, but I expected Hernandez to go to 1B to replace Dalbec and Bogey to be the SS.
And Yankee fans need to be afraid, very afraid.
Me, I'm looking forward to a good game against ancient rivals in a good looking ballpark which, however, does not have enough roof to keep the rain off.
Well, see, when you mention a trade or other acquisition, I'm at a loss because I don't know enough. Thus my preference for staying with the guys I know.
