    Sabathia doesn't need K's to grind you down. Grounder, grounder, grounder. And our guys just love to hit them.
  2. Maxbialystock
    Great inning by ERod!! Huge K with a man on 3b and 1 out. Tonight he is the man. 4 innings, 1 run, and I think 64 pitches.
  3. Maxbialystock
    Usually sabathia prospers when you hit that low in the zone sinking stuff. Grounded yield quick outs and innings. That absolutely is not Erods style.
  4. Maxbialystock
    Sabathia keeps it low to encourage grounders. He does need Ks to win.
  5. Maxbialystock
    Ok. Not great, but not bad. 1-1 after 3. Better than I expected.
  6. Maxbialystock
    Here we go again. Wrong! ERod gets him to foul pop.
  7. Maxbialystock
    Sanchez sat on the fastball, simple as that.
  8. Maxbialystock
    Bogie still GIDPs, and maybe so does HanRam. I still see the same 1 run. On the other hand, that play took away Betts bat because sabathia didn't need to get him out to get out of the inning.
  9. Maxbialystock
    I'm fine with that call. The throw beat him and it was a good tag.
  10. Maxbialystock
    Mass celebration! ERod gets thru first 2 innings scoreless and hitless! Theoretically, based on a very small sample, he should settle down. But it looks like he hasn't got a good handle on his change up.
  11. Maxbialystock
    Head key got his pitch, but flies out.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Regression time. Yankees can now safely and happily sit on Erods fastball.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Supremes rooting for NY.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Ok. Rajah Davis just eclipsed Bogaerts at bat. He swings too much, including 2 obvious balls in that at bat.
  15. Maxbialystock
    Painful first inning. But scoreless.
  16. Maxbialystock
    Wow. Our guys looked mesmerized, Bogie especially.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Sabathia not getting corner calls.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Above post does not mean I think history will repeat itself. Every game has a whole new dynamic. Porcello surprised last night, ERod could tonight.
  19. Maxbialystock
    As you predicted-- DAvis LF Nunez 2b Beni CF Betts RF Bogie SS Devers 3b HanRam 1b Young DH Vazquez C 12 days ago Sabathia beat us, 4-3, at Fenway, Sabathia going 6 and giving up 2. Devers and JBJ each had 2 hits and 1 rbi. Sale went7 and gave up 4. That Sox lineup had mostly tonight's guys except Davis now in for JBJ and Vazquez for Leon. Different slots too. mlb.com says Pedey back tomorrow maybe and JBJ Saturday (first day eligible).

    ERod is a huge key, agree. Yankees won more before the ASG, but we've won more since, also good (as you imply).
  21. Maxbialystock
    You have left me with little to add, for which I'm sure others are grateful. Love the guidance to ERod. Our lineup did not hit the Jays 3 starters this week. We feasted on their bull pen and relied on our starters. The Yankees may be struggling, but for the season they have almost as good pitching as the Sox and better hitting.
  22. Maxbialystock
    This 3 game sweep was largely thanks to our starters--Pom, Sale, and Porcello, who had three quality starts and gave up a total or 4 runs in 19.2 innings. I think that's pretty important given the previous 4 game loss streak and the lousy starts in the first 3 of those. Worrisome, however, is that our lineup couldn't hit the Toronto starters. They only gave up 3 earned runs in 3 starts, but fewer innings, around 17 I think. We feasted on the Jays bullpen. The Yankees are struggling right now, but for the season their overall pitching is almost as good as ours and their hitting is better.
  23. Maxbialystock
    Given our 57% winning percentage and the Yankees 54%, a 2-2 split is statistically the most likely outcome and the one I too expect. The problem is the Guardians, .5 games ahead of us for the 2d best record and home field advantage, are playing 4 against the Tigers. Statistically, that should probably be a split too, but the Guardians are hot right now, so 3-1 is probably more likely. It they do that, I think we need to do the same in NYC, so that is what I'm really hoping for.

    I choose to call it my hobby horse. Moreland as PH was discussed on game thread. Tiny sample sizes are good for weight control, cholesterol, lots of stuff. Over consumption of data can be fattening, even addictive. A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Too true, unfortunately. Game threads should have a high tolerance level for off the cuff commentary. I overstepped, but only because I myself was really into what was going on and early on thought Porcello just might have it tonight. His last time, Sale's last time before last night, and ERod's last time were all disasters which started early, not late. So, me, I was thinking, "just give us 2 innings and some hope." And that's what happened. Thus, unlike almost everyone else, that solo dinger in the 3d didn't bother me much at all.
