Very nice, Sandy . Crushes it for 2 runs
-
Was that not a place for Holt to PH for NUNEZ. He gave that last pitch no effort of any kind. Don't want to run him into the ground but he has been lost in this series.
-
Check Beni in a week and see if he is steady or slumping over the next several games. He, like JBJr, is streaky and I think the current trend is down. If I'm wrong, I'll buy him 2 bags of seeds.
-
No question, a carryover legacy from the Texeira, Jeter, Rivera, Jorge era
-
What's the difference between JDM and Benintendi? JD is not in a slump like Beni is as of right now.
-
Yankees look like Red Sox last night after 5 . But pile on BoSox and add to the total. Good D tonight as usual including Nunez and Devers play on Gardner
-
Can't figure it out either. Not like Nunez is younger, faster or a better hitter or fielder. Must be a story somewhere in there. Nunez should get a week off to rest a la Cora's tactics . Maybe Holt eats too much at the postgame buffet and Cora can't get to the trough
-
You can almost see the Boston hitters mistakenly saying, let's just get it over with and swing away. Bogaerts, Moreland and Nunez were asleep at the wheel. Bad idea to let it run through the dugout. Sale is not pitching a complete game and hold on to Kimbrel for a series winner tomorrow night.
-
That inning may be a Sale saver, with only 9 pitches.
-
Yeah, the sooner and faster some guys leave town, the better
-
Benintendi looks foolish some times, that was one. Flatfooted and arm swinging
-
WTF is with Bogaerts and his slides, much less running through Febles stop sign.
-
Absolutely not ! He is a royal pain when he's on and very cocky too. Oh no, Gray may be leaving soon. Nunez should be bunting the guys over now.
-
Sale does that and shuts the Y's out through 2. But he's not especially economical tonight and will be at 100 or more in the 6th inning. That means the Barnes, Kelly, Hembree, Workman parade will start. Who has the right stuff later tonight?
-
Let Sonny run out the full 100 pitches and save your pen. Oh wait that would be about the 4th inning. Sale must be amazed at having runs to let him work the plate a litle easier but with 24 outs to go, never get too cocky
-
Well, JDM is coachable
-
Great place for a running play by Betts/Beni
-
JD has to hit a fly ball, preferably a long fly
-
Keep pouring it on, way to go Beni
-
Now what will JBJr do with a man on 2nd (thanks, Sandy) and no outs? Hits it hard but right at Gardner, no help
-
Sale kept the Yankees from scoring but I have to say that Judge, Stanton, Torres and Gregorious are a formidable bunch at 2-5 in the lineup. The Red Sox 1-3 should be as worrisome to their opponents.
-
Well, Martinez kept the inning going, as did Moreland and Betts, the Devers delivered the shot that Gray deserves. Sale finally has a big lead to work from and needs to throw a few shutdown innings first time through the NY lineup. Do not take your spikes off their throat. Hate to say it was predictable , but Gray basically is useless against the Sox, and with over 30 pitches in the inning will put a load on the bullpen tonight.
-
Yankees don't have anyone in the lineup hitting above .290. Red Sox top 4 guys lowest average is Andrew B at .286. The rest of the lineups on both sides are comparable . The game last night showed better clustering of hits, and situational hitting by MY.
-
I'm joining the wonderment as to why Brock Holt is not in the lineup more than Nunez, especially against a righty like Sonny Boy Gray. And I don't have the complaints some do about Nunez who should not have expected to be a full time regular at this time of year. He was insurance and a good utility player to have on the bench. Holt has been in 48 games for 140 AB's and is hitting .293, with a .373 OBP ; 125 fielding chances with no errors Nunez has been in 70 games for 264 AB's with a .254 average but a poor .284 OBP ; 196 fielding chances with 3 errors. This isn't a knock on Nunez like some like to make, it's more like why not play Holt against RH'ers, and Nunez against LH'ers. Holt is also a superior runner , given Nunez's knee problem but I see no lack of effort from Nunez. Why does Cora favor Nunez?
-
Sale will give up 3 runs in 6 innings (2 HR's), but the Red Sox should pound Gray for 4 runs at the end of 3, maybe more. Gray is a #4 or #5 at this stage and the Sox should jump him early . Chris will keep the Sox close if they fail to support him, but that shouldn't happen today. Time for a big bounce back.
