  1. Guess they need a couple of relievers at the deadline now
  2. Wouldn't have even been in the game if Chapman didn't suck ass
  3. If only they were playing the Falcons.
  4. I'm guessing the Sox will have a position player pitching at some point, so 30 is looking likely.
  5. 21 runs in 5 innings is nuts. I wonder what the record is for half a game.
  6. The decision to start German, who is freshly off the IL, against this Astros team is what I would question more. They could've started Taillon or Nestor on regular rest, and then pitched German against the O's instead.
  7. What really did them in was not scoring with bases loaded and 0 outs earlier in the game. Granted they had a line drive double play and a lineout so it was bad luck, but that was their only real chance to put up multiple runs in the game. IKF's game tying single had a .100 xBA so can't really complain about the Astros weak grounder to win it. This has been the theme overall against the Stros this season though (and in our previous playoff losses). The pitching does its job but then the offense is held down by whoever they have on the mound. Even the two wins this year were kind of fluky walk-offs where the offense was getting dominated most of the game.
  8. I guess Red Sox fans are forced to live in the past now as well. 27 championships baby!!
  9. The Yanks have had a dominant first half of the year record wise, but I think the stats/ metrics are even crazier. Offense OBP: .333 (2nd in MLB) SLG: .445 (1st) BB%: 10.4% (1st) K%: 21.9% (14th) HR: 157 (1st) Exit Velocity: 90.3 mph (1st) Barrel Rate: 11% (2nd) Runs per Game: 5.40 (1st) Pitching OBP: .277 (1st - this is an insane number) SLG: .349 (2nd) BB%: 6.9% (3rd) K%: 25.2 (4th) HR: 88 (6th) Exit Velocity: 87.9 mph (3rd) Barrel Rate: 6.4% (1st) Runs per Game: 3.24 (1st) Defense Defensive Runs Saved: +65 (1st) Outs Above Average: +11 (4th) Defensive Efficiency: .725 (1st) Framing Runs: +12.4 (1st) Called Strike Rate: 50.5% (1st) So essentially Yanks have arguably been the best in the MLB in each of Offense, Pitching, and Defense.
  10. Yanks have lost 5 out of their last 6, and all 5 have been in tragic fashion. I guess the silver lining is that they could have won every one of those games. The s*** lining is they found maddening ways to lose each one.
  11. Still an improvement over Gallo
  12. Three straight games with leads blown late, three losses in a row. These kinds of stretches happen but still doesn't make it feel any better. Not sure what was up with Holmes today, looked like Chapman. Also some bad luck in there with 2 grounders and a bloop going for hits. More importantly they f***ed my parlay, I included them as a throw-in with three underdogs that actually won (O's, Cardinals, Pirates).
  13. The only good thing about Taillon hitting this funk is that it will make him more affordable once he becomes a FA this offseason. He isn't as bad as he's been this past month, and he isn't as good as he was the first 2 months. He's a #3/4 starter who can occasionally pitch like a #1, and occasionally pitch like the guy who tosses batting practice.
  14. Would the Sox be interested in Gallo? He's the only Yankee I've been given authority to trade away
  15. I think what these last two games have shown is that the Sox don't need Devers. They should trade him to the Yankees.
  16. Eh Donaldson made some really nice plays today so can't fault him. Yanks had chances to put this game away but let the Sox hang around. Credit to them for coming back.
  17. Gallo does have 4 walks in his last 3 games. Sorry that's the only positive I could come up with. Hard to sugar coat someone hitting .166 over half a season of ABs. The guy just doesn't make enough contact for his power to come into play.
  18. Happy the Yanks won but more upset about Cleveland's bullpen f***ing up my parlay
  19. Yanks getting outhit 12-10. Fortunately the Sox gifted them 3 runs with shoddy defense.
  20. Not even a bad pitch on either HR. Devers just barrels him no matter where he pitches him.
  21. Cole forced to pitch to Devers here I would think, otherwise you bring the tying run to the plate.
  22. Judge and Rizzo out for the Yanks. From what Boone said, they could play if they needed to... almost sounds like disrespect to the Sox, like "yeah we'll rest our best players against you".
