With a 14-1 lead?
-
Another classic Nunez play--he gets to the ball, but can't actually grab it. Time and time again, but still nary an error.
-
I said that and have seen a high percentage of good calls, but agree he is giving Sale the upper right corner.
-
You woulda thunk Stanton hit a grand slam instead of the single. Boy, espn loves their Yankees. Or is this actually the YES feed?
-
That's two on that corner he has missed, so my compliment was a tad too soon.
-
So far the home plate umpire has been freaking great on calling balls and strikes.
-
The write up on him says he has power to all fields. Regardless, I'm just happy he made solid contact.
-
Yup. He is also gifted at stopping grounders without actually catching them or having a play for an out.
-
espn announcers sure love those Yankees though. Was that five replays on Judge's grab in right field? Plus all the stats about how hard Severino throws, also the other Yankee pitchers. Near the end of ST, their "experts" picked the Yankees to breeze thru the AL which, I have to admit, is entirely possible with that monster lineup. Sale doesn't seem worried, however.

My wife just said, "Yankee pot roast for dinner tonight." Also: "please don't try yanking my chain."

Nunez made contact on 2 pitches and swung at strikes. JD, if anything, was more clueless than JBJ because he hit nothing and K's on 3 pitches. JBJ at least got to 5 pitches. Credit to Severino on the two K's, both fast balls just above the zone--swung on and missed. For the most part Severino seems to have pretty good location and pretty darn good slider and changeup. Fastball up to 99mph not too shabby either. Good new is he gave up a run and needed 27 pitches in the first. 23 pitches for Sale in 2 innings--fantastic. Don't mind the 2 hits one bit.
-
Actually some truth in that in my view. The bottom third is still the bottom third, except maybe the 2004 Sox. That said, the bottom third was key to that 8th inning rally Sunday.
-
Thanks, mvp. About what I expected except for Holt. I was hoping for Lin.
-
Not an ERod fan, but agree it makes sense to give him a real shot. I do not think a 6 man rotation is needed. Better I think to have Johnson/Velazquez for long relief, to say nothing of the value of having a spare arm--which has already been the case--for the rotation. Up ahead is the return of Pomeranz and maybe even Wright.

The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread
Maxbialystock replied to StephenCurry30's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Re: the discussion about JBJ. Cora is clearly experimenting, which he said he would to before the season started. Plus we are 9 games into a 162 game season, we are 8-1, and these experiments have demonstrably not prevented us from winning games. They have, on the other hand, given Cora an eyeful of what Beni can do in CF and JD in LF and RF. That can't be all bad. -
The Alex Cora Managerial Decision Thread

Agree JBJ makes a difference in the OF, especially in comparison to Beni. -
Anything new on Bogie?
-
Ball game!!!!! 8 straight!!!!!
-
I'm stupefied I tend to give up before the fun starts. In this case, I kept watching because it's on the mlb network. Like I said on another thread, Cora may be lucky, but what the heck is wrong with that? 8 earned runs after 10 earned runs. The Yankees and their fan jacksonianmarch just might be a little less cocky coming to Fenway for 3.
-
One would hope JBJ to CF and Beni back to LF. Martinez going 0 for 4 makes that a little easier. Besides, with Swihart on the bench, he could pinch hit for JBJ if it goes to extra innings, play LF, and send Beni back to CF.
-
Land 'o goshen. Looks like betting Devers 8th--I sure hope not too often--was genius because it did indeed revive the moribund bottom third of the order. Any way you look at it, a stupendous, vintage Fenway rally by this year's Sox.
-
We can all agree on that. A year ago, not so much, but right now he is like the franchise player.
-
He did it because he has done it many, many times before--flip it to the thirdbaseman. It was a reaction play and he simply forgot he was in fact the left wing of the infield. Usually on a shift to the right he is between the secondbaseman and the thirdbaseman.
-
Actually, he looked very athletic to me. To me the unathletic guys out there out there today were JD and ERod.
-
No doubt, no doubt. Batting Devers 8th is why we are down 7-2 in the 8th.
