    With Rodriguez's injury being " serious" even without surgery, DD will be forced to chase down a veteran starter who can eat some innings and hold the fort through July , August and September. I now think the LH reliever and a RH starter outweigh any concerns about a second baseman, particulalry if Phillips shows any life working his way back up. This was dscussed a few weeks ago and some thought pursuing another starter was a non-starter. Not so.

    New rant on MLB's winningest team to date, and likely for the regular season---- Does anyone really expect to win in the playoffs and possibly Series with this bullpen featuring Hembree, Workman, Kelly, Barnes and no LH'er, outside of plug-in Robby Scott? Thornburg is just another unknown quantity at this stage. Obviously not calling out Kimbrel, but you have to be holding a lead to effectively use your closer in ONE 3 out inning. I'm leaving out Wright, Johnson, Pomeranz because no one knows for sure when they'll be ready to go, and Velazquez is your 5th starter . Matt Barnes 27 pitch s*** show last night in a tight game just underscores how this pen's good stats disguise their inconsistency. Cora keeps running them out there from necessity, but you truly don't know what you will get for results. Poor command at times from all, occasional brilliance and often dodging bullets just in time. I will grant, so far, so good in terms of wins. September's schedule and drive to win the AL East will be the test and these guys are worrisome. I'm sure Dave D. is working on it , including getting a LH'er .

    If Benintendi is in fact on a few days bereavement leave this short bench just got shorter and almost forces Pearce to play. Consider sending one of the AAAA pitchers back to Pawsox and bring Sam Travis or other up for these 3 games.
  4. vegasbob
    You got that right. Price is the unlovable one
  5. vegasbob
    No Kimbrel tonight, so the other guys better have their A game ready. Workman is working

    It would be nice if Price can limit the 7th inning damage to just that HR by Morales
  7. vegasbob
    Price, in turn, has done his part since giving up the obligatory HR in the first. Maybe showing something finally. Happ's 4 th inning with his own sloppiness, the play at second and Smoak's not quite a catch, and 46 pitches, pays him back for the hit on Pearce. That was a cheap shot no doubt. Betting that it is Happ, not Pearce , who is/was a s*** in the Toronto clubhouse where they are playing for nothing ever since about May 1st.

    That was a huge break . He almost bare handed the ball out of his mitt.
  9. vegasbob
    When the bottom of the lineup contributes, it all goes right
  10. vegasbob
    Happ looks like a dead man walking, even before the slam. Not a handsome dude
  11. vegasbob
    Don't get too excited, you have Price on the mound for you
  12. vegasbob
    f*** Happ and the YANKEES too
  13. vegasbob
    How does Betts miss that pitch ?
  14. vegasbob
    Credit patience by JBJr not chasing Happ's trash. Now Mookie needs the big fly over the Monster
  15. vegasbob
    Agreed, big effort, low skills
  16. vegasbob
    I'll take mine and beat yours and then I'll take yours and beat mine. Swap'em now
  17. vegasbob
    With Pearce intentionally drilled ( requiring payback by Joe Kelly later), the bench is now incredibly short . Maybe need to figure out how to deal with 12 pitchers , and get another position backup
  18. vegasbob
    Plenty of time to win this one, but do not play into Happ's hand and encourage the Yankees to trade for him. You could see Severino, CC and Happ in the final series at Fenway in sept. However, going into that series with a 4 game lead, then f***'em.

    I imagine the shoulder inflammation is a result of the crappy slide from a few days ago.
  20. vegasbob
    No reason for Price not to go all out and show the team he will be a player after the break. He gets plenty of time off since, incredibly, he did not get invited to DC . David can probably get a couple days of Fortnite in, without hurting his arm. Never liked this guy, ever, but if the hitters support him, I'll gladly take the win. guaranteeing that the NYY's will have the next full week to think about the implications of the WC play-in game. Hope the Sox make it a 13 gamer into the A-S break. P.S. Don't let the Yankees see Happ dominate you. Would only encourage them to go for him.

    Great take !

    A true name from some forgettable teams. He had another buddy out there in right field who was worse, Ramirez or something like that.
  23. vegasbob
    How can Pedey be rehabbing in AZ when he in the Fenway dugout. Body double ??
  24. vegasbob
    Think Kimbrel is locked in ? Just not very efficient. This will be a 20+ pitch save, if he gets it done on this hitter. You can't tell me the HP umpire can actually see the 99-100mph pitches
  25. vegasbob
    There are games when Kimbrel is simply not capable of finding the plate.
