ALDS - Yanx vs Sawx

[Frayed Knot]

[u:2sbkouxm]Game 1[/u:2sbkouxm]:
JA not so Happ(y) after a 1st inning 3R HR by JD Martinez

3-0 Sox, mid-3rd
One hit thru 3 from Sale

[Frayed Knot]

Have the Yanquis ever NOT thought the opposing runner left early?
It seems to me that they always appeal the play when an opposing runner tags and then expect the call to go their way each time.

5-0 BRS after 3. Happ lasted 2-1/3 and was charged with all five earned.

[Benjamin Grimm]

[Frayed Knot]

Hey, his no-hitter lasted through an entire batter and his shutout for two more after that.

[Frayed Knot]

A few too many pitches early on for Sale, but a quick inning in the 5th has him down to only somewhat above where you'd like to see it (83 thru 5)

[Centerfield]

This pen sucks.

[HahnSolo]

It’s a shitshow. MFYs are winning this one.

I warned ya!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

How many pitches can the sawx bury in the dirt and survive?

[Frayed Knot]

Third straight MFY grounder in a GiDP situation that was simply hit too shitty to turn. Two of those would have ended innings but resulted in a run instead.

[HahnSolo]

Somehow they’ve only gotten 3 runs in the last two innings. Says a lot about the vaunted Yank offense that that is all they could get.

[Frayed Knot]

And, because it's Yanx/Sawx [u:2kszi19h]AND[/u:2kszi19h] it's the post-season with its extended commercial time, we're now three hours deep and they've completed 6-1/2 innings

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Into the ninth, and... farts.

[Fman99]

Two outs left to get. Lead down to 5-4. C'mon, you Sox.

[MFS62]

The Bobby Doerr (#1) win.

[Centerfield]

Cool bullpen bro.

[Centerfield]

I'd be totally cool with lending them deGrom for tonight. Any objections?

[Frayed Knot]

Why would they want deGrom, they have David Price going tonight who's got an ERA vs the Yanx of like ... (Really?, that fucking high?) uh, never mind.
Maybe after Sale & Price we can give them deGrom for a sale price.

[HahnSolo]

I said this in one of the TWIB threads last month but I’ll reiterate there’s just no excuse to start David Price a) against the Yankees, or anytime in October.

[Frayed Knot]

Did you see/hear Gary Sanchez's career numbers off Price?
6 for 13 plus 4 walks and [u:39kkb1d5]5 of the 6 hits were HRs[/u:39kkb1d5]!!

And so tonight's HR [now 7-fer-14 w/6 HR] was perhaps the most predictable play of the entire 2018 season

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Maybe he should look at the films and find out the pitch he used to throw that non-home run.

[Frayed Knot]

And now the fourth Yanqui grounder in a GiDP situation in a 16 inning span that was hit too shitty to become a GiDP.
That Nunez fucked up the throw merely compounds the problem.


oe: I can't believe they overturned that call!! No way was that definitive evidence.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fuck

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, that wasn't good.

So, instead, let's talk about how the story is already forming to portray Judge as this generation's Jeter (he's clutch, he's a true Yanqui) while Stanton is being cast in the part of Alex Rodriguez, the
out-of-town import with the big contract whom they could really do without.

[smg58]

I don't care what the narrative is as long as Boston wins two of the next three.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bronx Bombers crappin' the bed through 4 1/2.

[Frayed Knot]

Please Hammer, hurt 'em more!

Bronx Bombers crappin' the bed through 4 1/2.

Actually, it's just 3-1/2

[Frayed Knot]

Shouldn't the system be altered so that all Angel Hernandez calls are automatically reviewed
It would certainly save time.



oe: and now another one!!

[Guest d'Kong76]

After tonight, he shouldn't be eligible for further post-season duty. Start next
season at AAA and work on your skillz, blue.

[smg58]

I'd be enjoying this more if the Sox had won game two.
