    Well, that fastball in the middle finally got ERod--2 run dinger. Sabathia just does not make mistakes like that, and ERod does and has repeatedly tonight. It is very hard for me to see a giveaway in this game. I'm mad at Nunez's error and because he told Betts he had it, and I don't like the results of Beni's overaggressiveness, but to me it was apparent all game long that, even though ERod was pitching pretty well, we were the underdogs because I think the Yankees bullpen is as good as ours and Sabathia has our number when he isn't walking guys. A simple stat to illustrate the point. Yankees 2 dingers. Sox 0 dingers. We have 4 pissy singles in this game and the Yankees are stealing this win? Give me a break.

    All due respect to those who have been on here a lot longer than I, I don't think we are giving anything away. Sabathia has our number, simple as that. Nunez screwed up, but it was an error (if they call it). On similar plays I have seen Betts just come in and grab that ball, but this time he held back.
  3. Maxbialystock
    The one thing I think Sabathia is doing too much of is going after those corners and I mean the tips. His stuff is plenty good enough to induce grounder after grounder, and he should never walk anyone.
  4. Maxbialystock
    We ain't saving Sabathia, not when he is basically in control of this game. Even with Beni not going to 2b on the single, Sabathia had the stuff to stop any or at least limit it to 1 run, which is what happened. We had him on the ropes in the 1st and he made our guys look like idiots. Our problem tonight is the exact same problem in Toronto. Right now our guys struggle against decent starting pitching. Against Toronto, whom we beat 3 straight, we scored 1 run each off their 3 starters. We won because we had good starting pitching ourselves and murdered their bullpen. I said this at the beginning of the this game thread (or at the end of last night's).

    Beni overaggressive, not stumbling and bumbling. Only one stumblebum out there, Nunez, but he also has the single and the run scored.
  6. Maxbialystock
    I can't call this horrible baseball when we are down just 2-1.
  7. Maxbialystock
    All due respect, but ERod did his job. This is all on Nunez who even called off Betts right before he lost the ball completely.
  8. Maxbialystock
    I seem to recall a thread saying Nunez would be solid at 2b, 3b, or SS. But that's true only if you discount his problem with popups behind him that he has to do a little running for.
  9. Maxbialystock
    I have said this repeatedly. Nunez cannot catch popups. He loses the ball most of the time. This is not recent if you just watch. Note too he insisted on it even though Betts was right there. This was a real bonehead play by a veteran.
  10. Maxbialystock
    This ain't necessarily ERod's fault. Vazquez is the one calling for fastballs. After an out, two fastballs hit for 2 singles.
  11. Maxbialystock
    ERod has his change and slider working, but throws a fastball right down the geometric center for a single to center. just a bad pitch, I guess.
  12. Maxbialystock
    Beni CS again. Why not? It took a perfect throw to beat him.
  13. Maxbialystock
    Meh. An out there would have been spectacular because Beni was running away from 2b when he grabbed it. The play was not in front of him, and that makes an accurate throw harder.
  14. Maxbialystock
    Sabathia doesn't need K's to grind you down. Grounder, grounder, grounder. And our guys just love to hit them.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Maxbialystock
    Sabathia keeps it low to encourage grounders. He does need Ks to win.
  18. Maxbialystock
    Ok. Not great, but not bad. 1-1 after 3. Better than I expected.
  19. Maxbialystock
    Here we go again. Wrong! ERod gets him to foul pop.
  20. Maxbialystock
    Sanchez sat on the fastball, simple as that.
  21. 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.
  22. Maxbialystock
    I'm fine with that call. The throw beat him and it was a good tag.
  23. 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.
  24. Maxbialystock
    Head key got his pitch, but flies out.
  25. Maxbialystock
    Regression time. Yankees can now safely and happily sit on Erods fastball.
