  1. Spike must be embarrassed now about his movie when he wore a Dodgers jersey and everybody called him Mookie.
  2. In the boxes, the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Oh, Lord, yeah!!!!
  3. Look, Judge is playing right field. He just squinted.
  4. Very risky. Has to jam Stanton on every strike.
  5. Don't worry, they'll show it 17 times before he's on deck. Then we'll see him on deck in all 4 pitches to the leadoff man. The best shot was when Volpe's homer landed, the Judge Cam immediately showed him in the dugout smiling... when he had nothing to do with it.
  6. Slaten or Whitlock in the 7th? Bellinger-Stanton-Rosario? Grisham-Volpe
  7. Yoshida, hit a high fastball to left for a 2-run single.
  8. .333 with a team-leading 13 RBIs this month. Can an offensive juggernaut like the Red Sox bench that?
  9. Yoshida does have 3 career homers in the Stadium -- just saying. That's 3 more than Duran...
  10. For those still stuck in rush hour, Sogard took that feed from Story at 2B, pulled a sharpie out of his back pocket, signed his name and number in cursive on the ball, then doubled up Stanton at 1B.
  11. Half of them with tickets are still sitting in traffic jams listening to the game on the radio.
  12. ESPN has the volume up so loud on the crowd that I can't hear half of what the announcers are saying. But that's ok since I 'll be muting all of them soon anyway.
  13. Commercial over. There's Judge again in the dugout, Now he's running onto the field. He's having a catch! hey... Max Fried is on the mound
  14. ESPN opening: one shot each of Crochet, Bregman, Story and Fried. Seven shots of Judge. Ok, let's go.
  15. 48 minutes before the first pitch and I'm back to my biggest worry going into the month: middle relief. If a Sox starter can't get through 6 innings, Playoff Cora won't wait until the 7th to bring in Slaten. Or even Whitlock. The problem is, we can't trust Kelly or Weissert or Wilson or Matz or the rookies to keep all their pitches in the ballpark -- not at Pop-Up Stadium in the Bronx. Prediction: even if Crochet gives up four solo bombs tonight, we may see Cora stick with him through a 7-inning, 100+ pitch-count, and only allow Whit and Chappy to finish. They're the best three by far... in a must-win.
  16. Instant runs via the longball may be why you shouldn't have your clean-up man sac bunting at the beginning of the game -- like SD's Shildt did today. Don't get me wrong, bunting drove in the winning run for Detroit today, but that came in the 7th inning. Cora might not bunt tonight, but at least we know he'll order Sogard or Eaton to tap a one-stitch bouncer on the grass when it matters (trying not to open my first beer until the first pitch...).
  17. Can't help it, hardwired from chasing down gappers in the pasture.
  18. Mixing two threads here: looking at Brock's chart, Judge, Stanton and Jazz have each struck out in over 70% of their ABs vs. Crochet this season. The Sox are notorious whiffers, too, leading the majors in Ks with runners in scoring position. Duran, one of Boston's best batters with guys on base, is 0-for-10 with 5 strikeouts vs. Fried. But because Fried is more of a pitch to contact expert, the edge may go to the Red Sox... unless the Yankees' colander defense comes through. Last note: Rafaela gets a lot of grief on the forum for swinging at and missing a million pitches a night, but did you know FIVE Yankees fanned more than Ceddanne this season? Some of them are even considered good...
