Guide to the World Baseball Classic
bkzwhitestrican replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
There are still a lot of unsafe areas in Brooklyn, mostly eastern Brooklyn. I moved to Queens about seven years ago (Long Island City), but I'm right next to the Pulaski Bridge so I walk into Brooklyn all the time to get food in Greenpoint/Williamsburg. And you're not wrong - everything is expensive. Mexican places charge like $5 per taco, a plain pizza pie is like $25 - $30, and grocery costs are absurdly high to the point where I walk out with a small bag of stuff and I've spent like 50 bucks! -

That's a secret. And if Brooklyn is a slum then the Bronx is a wasteland! -

Bad managing? Offense no showing in a big game?? Judge saying 'We'll get em next time'??? Now I'm ready for the 2026 Yankees season!! -
Stanton doesn't look like a guy who eats a lot of chips anyway. I'm sure he'll be on the IL for at least a month at some point this season. As long as he's healthy around playoff time then we'll be alright.

It's not a terrible strategy to bring back a roster that won 94 games last year. But this group under Boone just feels destined for another playoff flop.

Football is done so now it's time to focus on the second best sport. Welcome back to the other two Yankees fans lurking somewhere around here. So what's new for the Yankees in 2026? Absolutely nothing! The Yankees brought back pretty much the same exact team as last year, with the exception of Ryan Weathers and some bottom of the 40-man roster types. Everyone else in the AL East (minus the Rays) decided to improve their rosters from last year. But the Yanks? Nah we're good. Everyone's a year older, a year wiser, and still being managed by boy genius Aaron Boone. My prediction for 2026? I'll say somewhere between 89-91 wins and a wild card berth, followed by an exit in the Divisional Round (AKA the Boone Special.) Good luck to all (except Boston)!

Good move for you guys. I was bummed when Durbin got traded from the Yanks, and even more bummed because he actually turned into a good player with Milwaukee. And now super bummed because he's on Boston. Dude is a grinder who makes a ton of contact and can play all over the field. His arm might be a little weak at 3rd from what I remember, but I think he still grades out as a positive defender.
-
Good trade for Boston. 36 isn't necessarily old for a starter, as we've seen many starters this century still pitch at a high level into their late 30s. And Gray's repertoire doesn't rely on high velocity so his decline shouldn't be as immediate. But I guess we'll find out if he has issues pitching for a big market team, or if that only applied when he was on the Yankees.
-
Bad ending for your guys but overall I think it was a successful season for Boston given the expectations to start the year. Boston is potentially poised for a big 2026, but they definitely need to shore up some spots on their roster. And as Baltimore proved this year, growth is not linear for a lot of these young players so Breslow can't just assume every young player will be better and be able to fill a roster spot.

Easier said than done.

These high stakes games are bad for my health. I can already feel my stomach acting up.
-
I think it was the only way they could increase the wild card from a single play-in game (how it was a few years ago) to multiple games without creating too large of a break for the teams with a bye. But I hear ya. I also have a gripe with the lack of re-seeding in MLB playoffs (Yanks tied for the best record in the AL but don't get rewarded for it). Oh well. Should be a good series though, hope you guys lose 😉
-
Looking forward to multiple four hour games filled with angst and s***** takes by broadcasters.
-
Congrats. See you guys on Tuesday (or next Saturday)
-
Go Sox (Red)!
-
Go Red Sox!
-
Yanks magic number to clinch the playoffs is 3. So if they lose out and everyone else wins they would miss the playoffs. I think the Sox are in a similar boat, but with going 1-5 or 2-4 as potential doom scenarios.
-
Difficult series for my rooting interests. I guess go Sox unless the Yanks are losing!
-
One thing not mentioned anymore is why they waited so long to call up Anthony. He was clearly ready in the early part of the year but they waited until mid-June to call him up. You'd have to think he could've helped Boston win at least one more game during the first third of the year, which would be huge in the standings right now.

I'll assist since I know the Yankees' injuries this year: Gerrit Cole - out for season Luis Gil - missed first 3 months Clarke Schmidt - pitched 2 1/2 months, then out for season Giancarlo Stanton - missed first 2 1/2 months of season Jake Cousins - out for season Jazz Chisholm - missed 1 month Fernando Cruz - missed 2 months Jonathan Loaisaga - pitched 2 months, then out for season Oswaldo Cabrera - played 1 1/2 months, then out for season Ryan Yarbrough - missed 2 1/2 months Aaron Judge - missed 2 weeks Mark Leiter - missed 1 month Luke Weaver - missed 3 weeks Austin Slater - missed 1 month Also DJL and Stroman missed a bunch of time, but that was probably a positive.

Yamamoto pitched 8.2 innings of no hit ball tonight versus the O's, but lost the no hitter on his last batter as Jackson Holliday squeaked a HR over the fence to make it a 3-1 game. The Dodgers bullpen then came in and gave up a double, hit by pitch, walk, walk, and single to get walked off for the second game in a row. If I hadn't watched Game 5 of the WS last year I'd say this was the most absurd loss I'd ever watched.
-
I see the Yankees have won out!
-
I guess we'll see what prevails this series then: The Yanks' recent propensity to wilt during an important series, or the Sox recent suckage
