Yanks were 1 for 12 with RISP last night. That'll do you in most nights.

Samford is definitely an interesting pick. I'm looking forward to seeing how he develops.

I don't think this has anything to do with Severino specifically. If the Yankees are serious about winning a WS this year then they need pitching depth. German is reverting back to normal and has an innings cap, Sabathia and Paxton are injury prone, Happ is a #4 or #5 at best now, and nobody knows how Sevy will look once he returns (And Monty after a year layoff? Come on). It may turn out that we don't need Keuchel if everyone pans out, but can they take that risk with a shot at the title on the line?

That would make sense but apparently it was OK'd by the Sox president: “We like the concept of being the home team in London because we have connections with Liverpool (the Red Sox’s parent company, Fenway Sports Group, also is the parent company of Liverpool FC) and we have a London office so we get certain rights and benefits as the home team over there, our season ticket holders will have the opportunity to get tickets, our sponsors will have access to the games, so we like some of the benefits of being the home team.” According to Kennedy, Red Sox season ticket holders already have shown a strong interest in purchasing tickets to the London contests, which are set for June 29 and June 30, 2019. Kennedy expects both games at the 55,000-seat London Stadium to sell out. “It’s an economic reality that it was just easier to buy out Red Sox home games for the league,” Kennedy added. “So the Yankees have been great. They’ve wanted it to happen as much or even more.” According to Kennedy, Red Sox season ticket holders already have shown a strong interest in purchasing tickets to the London contests, which are set for June 29 and June 30, 2019. Kennedy expects both games at the 55,000-seat London Stadium to sell out. So basically it's all about the money.

With so many potential 100 loss teams in the AL it means that a team that would normally be around .500 (like Texas or Oakland) is likely going to end up with 90+ wins, because somebody has to win these games. I think Boston will easily make the postseason but there's going to be one unexpected team hanging around for a wild card spot all season. Also I don't like muting the broadcast because I still like hearing the game action and crowd. If only there was a "Mute Announcers" option.

Glad it's over just so I don't have to listen to A-Rod anymore

Truly awful idea. But I would not object to the Sox doing it.

I put golf on sometimes when I want to take an afternoon nap. All the nature sounds and low talking put me to sleep in minutes.

Is it just me or is the strike box on Fox not correctly centered over the plate?

Damn how long did it take you to write this essay

2B LeMahieu 1B Voit CF Hicks C Sánchez SS Torres DH Morales 3B Urshela RF Maybin LF Gardner Strange that Boone is starting Gardner over Frazier against a tough lefty. Boone said yesterday that Frazier was out because he had a scheduled day off. However Frazier still being out after yesterday's rainout tells me that was a load of s*** and for some reason he prefers the matchup with Gardner (.541 OPS against LHP this year) instead of Clint (.711 OPS against LHP this year). I'd at least start Frazier over Morales.. but whatever. Boone has been pushing all the right buttons this season so we'll see if it continues.

Can't blame Drake, he's probably still mad about his character in Degrassi getting crippled

I'm still in Olympics mode.

I'm torn between rooting for a Warriors team I despise or a team from Canada.

Game has been postponed and will be made up on August 3rd as part of a doubleheader. This definitely benefits the Yankees since now they won't need to have an opener/bullpen game.

You forgot to mention that lefty and righty hitters are allowed to bat at the same time.

We'll see how many of these four games actually get played. There's supposed to be thunderstorms all night and the forecast also calls for thunderstorms most of the weekend #buildmoredomes

Hit four HRs and put up seven runs without Sanchez, Hicks, Judge, Stanton, Didi, and Andujar. While going up against a guy with a 1.93 ERA. Our trash players > everyone else's trash players > The O's

While you're there you should get something from Lobel's Prime Meats. I've never tried their YS location but the one in the city is really good.

I agree that today's lineup is trash. Either way I hope you enjoyed those consecutive HRs to start off the game against Padlock.

You could be right. We'll likely have bullpen games/spot starters in three of our next six games so going .500 or worse during that timeframe is possible, though I'll say we finish 4-2 against KC/SD. As for the Sox series, I feel like we'll take 3 of 4 at home but who really knows.

I dunno if you could say Tampa was floundering since they were leading the division when we first played them and then went 4-2 against them. The O's are trash of course, but sweeping a four game series on the road isn't easy considering that on average even the worst teams still win one out of every three games.

I must have missed those games. The only ones I remember are from the two game sweep last month

MLB’s best records since May 17th: 1. Marlins (6-0, 1.000) 2. A's (5-0, 1.000) 3. Yankees (6-1, .857)

Damn you can't even call someone a c--------r now without being branded a bigot.
