He’s a nice 5-6 hitter. He’s not a guy who should be in the 3 hole.
-
Nowadays, it almost is, but I agree with you.
-
You can just see these guys tense up with RISP.
-
You’re really going to bash the the guy who actually hit the ball that inning (and got a double, lucky as it was).
-
Probably over just because of who’s pitching for the Evil Empire tonight. This is his 4th career game against the Sox. Through 4 innings tonight, he has a career ERA of 0.71 against Boston. He’s starting to remind me of Gaylord Perry when he was with Cleveland in the early 70s. Sox could not touch him at all.
-
And the Sox, being gracious hosts, just won’t take the gifts.
-
Yankees doing their best to give the Red Sox runs.
-
If you were Sonny, would you want to stay here? I joked the other night he might pay the Red Sox to trade him.

It says something about Devers, but it also says Cora knew the player and how he probably would take things and that Breslow had no idea about Devers other than as a pawn on his spreadsheet. Not a lot different than what he said to Whitlock and Story after Cora was fired. There's a lot of blame for the divorce on both sides.

Oh for crying out loud, those two weren’t on anyone’s radar. All 30 teams passed on Schlitter 6 times and 23 of them a 7th time before the Yankees took him. All 30 teams passed on Rice 11 times and 20 of them a 12th time before the Yankees picked him. Let’s not pretend that anyone, including the Yankees, thought much of either of them. Everyone was wrong and the Yankees got lucky late in the draft. It happens. Betts was a 5th round pick for that matter. Neither was drafted out of high school and let’s face it, if they went to Northeastern and Dartmouth, they were not big time college players either.

Biggest thing I saw both Monday and today is late in the game, the Rockies’ hitters just try. and put the ball in play; Sox hitters try to hit the ball farther by swinging harder.
-
Mayer’s error was huge, but Slaten still would have pitched the 8th and I have no reason to think the results would have been any different.
-
They did win yesterday. Monday was worse than this.
-
That deserves a HaHa and a Sad emoji at the same time.
-
He’s definitely needs to be moved to mop up duty. He does not have the mental make up for late and tied or ahead work.
-
Mayer made the big error today, but Sox relievers have sucked this entire series.
-
Contreras should have let that go; it would have rolled foul.
-
That error set up the inning, but Guerrero has to be a little tougher and also stop throwing his fastball down. If they catch up to 100+ up top, tip your hat to the hitter. Down is much easier to get to.
-
Not one of those hitters went up there trying to hit the ball 500 feet. Just put it in play.
-
Why are you doing a pop up slide on that?
-
Well he benched himself by getting himself hurt.
-
That Schlitter kid for the Yankees is a prime example. Undrafted out of high school, 7th round pick out of Northeastern and look at him now.
-
True, but those are Compensatory and/or Competitive Balance picks. The Royals still have the #6 pick as well and the Orioles kept their regular position last year. The Dodgers got a 10 slot penalty for going over one of the upper tier luxury tax levels. The MLB draft rules are complicated but Fred is viewing them as 1-30 based straight up on record, hence my simplistic response to him.
-
I’m not sure I’d go that far, but Duran really needs a couple days off.
-
I’d rather have the #30 pick since that means you are the defending World Series champions.
