I’m not defending the Red Sox, just once again pointing out your bias toward all things Boston and anyone from Boston or Massachusetts in general. Anything you don’t like in baseball is the fault of the Red Sox or their fans. I’ve seen plenty of obnoxious Yankees fans over the years, especially before the Red Sox won tte World Series in 2004, but know that the behavior of some is not a reflection of the entire population of Yankees fans or New Yorkers in general. Have you forgotten when Yankees fans in the Yankee Stadium bleachers in the 1970’s would throw batteries at opposing team outfielders? Then again, those outfielders probably deserved it, right? Your “Boston is the root of all evil” act on this website has gotten old and tired.

Are the Red Sox the only money grubbing East coast team???? What about Midwest teams? I seem to recall Cleveland and Detroit playing games in the snow. And how exactly do the Red Sox have control of the MLB schedule makers? Do they have some dirty secret they are holding over them to guarantee that they open at home every season? It’s all a conspiracy!!

German outpitches Scherzer and the Yankees win 4-2. And now the Mets push back deGrom so the Yankees face Taijuan Walker tomorrow instead.

What was that?

Last night would have been a good night to bet on him pitching well. Over his last 6 starts, he has alternated good starts with bad starts. His previous start was bad, so last night he was as due for a good start.

Have you been to Bravehearts games before? I’ve seen the WooSox a number of times but haven’t been to a Bravehearts game yet.

This is in the wrong thread. It should be posted in the “Let’s dump on ex-Yankee players” thread.

Yup, the season is over. Time to blow up the team and then fire Boone and Cashman. I’d post more but it’s not worth it. All you guys ever do is focus on the negative with this team, year after year.

You keep forgetting that baseball games are 9 innings long . . .
-
It seems like all the Yankee pitchers give up HRs to Devers. Taillon recovered quite nicely, retiring the last 17 batters he faced and giving up only 2 hits in 6 innings.
-
Gutless? He left the game due to shoulder tightness and is scheduled for an MRI. tomorrow. Hopefully he’s not injured. The beginning of the end? the Yankees are still up by 14 games in the AL East. It seems a little early to be throwing in the towel.

According to this article, hitters are assessed a strike if they are not ready to hit when there are 9 seconds left on the pitch clock. Pitchers are penalized a ball if the pitch clock expires. https://theathletic.com/news/pitch-clock-minor-league/n0D82u2AnSpv/?amp=1

It will be good when they add the pitch clock next year. I’ve been to three Triple-A games this year, and with the pitch clock in use, the games are much quicker. The game I went to on Thursday started at 6:45 p.m. and finished at 9:20 p.m.

I was going to post something similar. After that one inning, he set down 12 of the next 14 batters he faced and got into the 7th inning. He didn’t let the bad inning get to him and kept the Yankees in the game, allowing them to come back and win again.

It is because 2KSports was awarded the MLB license in 2006. This meant that EA Sports could no longer produce a baseball game using the names or likenesses of actual major league players. They did produce an NCAA college game in 2006 but moved on from baseball games after that. By the time the MLB license was available again, they had no interest in creating another game. Plus, with the increase in console users, games like The Show became more popular.

Now you’re the one being a comedian. That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard you say in a long time. You gave up on the team in April.

Y4L - Here’s something you’ll get a chuckle out of. Today I went to the SWB Railriders / Worcester Red Sox game in Worcester. Polar Park, the Red Sox stadium is a 10 minute drive from my house. While at the game, I got to see some old friends on the Railriders. Miguel Andujar was in left field and Greg Bird was the DH. Former Yankee Rob Refsneyder plays for the Red Sox. We were sitting just past 3rd base, 9 rows from the field. In the bottom of the 5th inning, a foul ground ball rolled into left field. Andujar picked it up and looked over at our section. He threw it over and as it was in the air, I realized it was coming right to me. I believe it was intentional because I was the only one looking at him wearing a Yankees hat. As the ball got near me, I reached up with both hands, only to have it bounce off and land on the seat in front of me. Because it was so hot today (mid-90’s), there were a lot of no-shows so there were plenty of empty seats around us. I simply reached down and picked up the ball. The fans let me hear it when I dropped the ball, but I got some cheers when I walked to the end of the row and gave it to a kid who brought his glove to the game.

Here are my thoughts on this: 1. Chad Green will be missed but Michael King has turned into a real shutdown reliever. Chad Holmes has also been lights out. I believe their performances so far will cover for Green’s absence. 2. Higgy and Gallo will be back in a matter of days. It’s not like they have been hitting the cover off the ball. Trevino has seemed as good defensively, so I don’t think there will be a drop off. 3. I’m sorry to see Gil having to undergo surgery and hope he makes a full recovery, but right now, he’s still mainly a Triple-A pitcher, who gets called up for spot starts, so again, it’s not a major impact to the MLB club. My bigger concern is The Yankees’ closer situation. I never feel confident when Chapman comes in and I don’t believe that Boone does either.

What’s that you were saying about dead bats?? 🤔
-
They have also been stealing more bases, getting runners into scoring position, which allows them to score runs with base hits rather than just home runs.
-
9 wins in a row 3 straight series sweeps 11 wins in their last 12 games The best record in baseball Enough said . . .
-
Maybe, but 6 straight wins and 8 out of their last 9, as well as the best record in the American League makes me think they are better than you do. I’m enjoying every win.
-
As far as the Indians / Braves / Redskins / Chiefs, it’s easy for us to trivialize and say that the names are no big deal. We are not Native Americans whose ancestors were treated unfairly. You see it as no big deal to keep the names. I see it as no big deal to change them to something less offensive to others. And FYI, I’m not on Twitter so I can’t be lumped in with the “Twitter complainers.”
-
Considering that you don’t pay attention to them, you sure post a lot in this thread. 😄

That’s why they play 9 innings and not just 5 . . .
