What does pull out mean?
-
I thought you were kidding, and you weren't. Another guy throwing splitters. Will this never end?
-
OK. More than OK. That's five outs and no runs by the bullpen. Need six more. I'd bring Carson Smith back because that sinker is nasty. But Cora has been perfect tonight because there is absolutely no one on talksox would have let Johnson onto the field, let alone have him pitch. So, me, I trust Cora.
-
Those are wicked sinkers Smith is throwing. Don't give in to this guy. Nailed him!!!!!
-
Should Beni have caught that?
-
Just like clockwork, Stanton the vincible grounds out. Next victim.
-
Johnson got three big outs, can't ask for more, and one in the 7th. Now comes Carson Smith, who looked sharp last night.
-
Sox still need to get 9 Yankee outs.
-
Yup.
-
Stunning. Remember, I just said the Yankees bullpen is well nigh invincible. Then Hanley bashes one. I am still stunned, incredulous, and absolutely delighted. Hanley was supposed to be mired in a deep, deep slump.
-
The Holt we remember. Oh, well.
-
Agree. How's it going in that den of iniquity? If the good guys win tonight, I'm going to do everything in my power to get you promoted to something even though that's hard to do for a hitter of your calibre.
-
Cora pulls the plug at exactly the right time and prevents Porcello for getting his 6 runs in 6 innings.
-
They have 20 quality starts to our 22, and we are ranked 2d in MLB in most quality starts. Houston has the most, 26.
-
Excuse me? Sale hasn't stepped up? He has six quality in 8 starts with an ERA of 2.02 and a WAR of 2.2, highest on the team. That's a step down? Porcello butchered his start tonight, and Pom has 2 quality in 4 starts with an ERA of 5.23.
-
ABsolutely true. What worries me is our bullpen vs. theirs, and that assumes Porcello won't give back another run in the 6th. You know, 6 in 6 has a nice ring to it. Shows consistency.
-
I don't see that at all. The Sox can hit beyond question, even with a weak bottom third of the order. What's happened is the rotation is in trouble and the bullpen is less than reliable except for Kimbrel, and we are about to see that play out.
-
I still don't understand how Cora could position his infielders with men on 1st and 2d, 1 out, so that a double play was impossible or very unlikely.
-
The Yankees have pretty good pitching in case you noticed. This series right now is entirely on our abysmal pitching staff.
-
How was that not a GIDP? Bogie had no one to throw to at 2B. OK. Damage limited. Porcello dug that hole himself, but got out with almost no damage. No K's of course. Can't have that.
-
That's an easy run for the Yankees with nary a hit. And I predicted Porcello would extend the Yankee lead.
-
Classic Porcello. Load the bases on a pitcher error, a walk, and an HBP.
-
What did I say? First two batters on, and Porcello is in meltdown. Whoops. There goes another baserunner. Porcello wants his mommy about now.
-
Score now 4-3, so it's time for Porcello to go back out there and extend the Yankees lead by a run or two because today he is going for the putz award.
-
He has been a great hitter, so of course he will hurt us. But that doesn't mean our pitchers need to throw him gopher balls. Porcello is supposed to be good lowball pitcher this year, but he didn't throw a single one in that at bat by Stanton.
