Regarding Yankee fans and their intrusion on a Red Sox site, it's like arguing with an idiot, you will get frustrated, never have your argument understood, and you'll be covered in spittle. Agree they should stay on Bronx related sites.
Similar sentiments Yaz Fan. There seems to be an element that wants their rose colored glasses polished daily.
Devers is likely showing the signs of a very young player who was rushed to the majors and is in over his head. He seems overmatched most nights and has no plate discipline or concept of how the pitchers are working him. Different than JBJr who should have enough experience by now to know how to bunt and to swing effectively as a contact #8 or #9 hitter/defensive specialist.
On a positive note, thanks for signing JDM who is actually filling the Ortiz gap of 2017.
Either the showcasing of Blake Swihart goes further on, or Cora wants to give him a lot of room to get it together at the plate, to consider a move on Leon or Vazquez. That outcome is not likely yet. The Tigers will certainly be tempted to run tonight and Blake may look bad between the knuckleball and trying to throw guys out.
So Hembree holds on using only 28 pitches to secure a 6 run lead in the 9th. Sometimes you have to wonder.
However, this may actually be the best series of the year to split with Houston at thier park against their best 4 including Verlander and Morton. No story here folks, you can all go home and sleep soundly.
Barnes pretty effective tonight , got them to the 9th. Do you bring in Kimbrel and risk a non-save meltdown or try Brian Johnson? Mitch Moreland will get better once he gets some more experience at first.
Swihart uses the mound as a launch ramp to send a 7-0 (was) Charlie Morton straight to hell. As mentioned earlier, when the bottom of the lineup makes some contact it changes the game. Sorry, JBJr you are not part of that conversation yet. Pedey, take your time and get the knee calmed down. Brock Holt's got your back.
