Bormio Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Red Sox now 50 games over .500 at 85-35. Put their 2 best streaks together this year (17-2 and 29-6) and you have a record of 46-8 - which is one-third of a baseball season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playoffs are a new season, but the Yankees need better starting pitching. Their lineup is a horror show for the opponent though. It has been a magical year so far for the Sawx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Severino goes 5 vs the Mets - leaves trailing 4-3. Gave up 2 HR. Bring back Sonny Gray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny is worse what are you talking about. Yankees are collapsing and there is nothing anyone can do. Boone will be canned sooner than later.

Problem with the yanks is this. They suck vs shitty teams. Baltimore Mets etc all have had some to decent SUCCESS vs the yanks. I understand the yanks are like 30 games above 500 but the yanks screwed up signing Stanton. They could have invested the 200 million or whatever it was into at least 2-3 pitchers.

To be fair, 74-43 most years is the best record in baseball. The Sox are just unconscious right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they have solid pitching a couple of all stars and a bunch of very good role guys who get it down. Reminds you of the 90s Yankees. Yankees pitching is old and they tried to hide it with great hitting. Defense wins championships not hitting a million homeruns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what it boils down to. Second best record in MLB doesn’t hold the same weight when the best record is in your division. For the record, I still can’t stand Boone. I feel like he was hired to be Cashman’s puppet. 0 managerial experience jump to managing the NYY? Very odd IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yankees carrying 13 pitchers and only 12 players. One way to try and save the bullpen. Means 1 reserve catcher, 1 reserve IF and one reserve OF. Pretty thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bormio Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Sabathia to the DL. Severino threw 98 pitches in FOUR innings. And Aaron Judge is not coming back in 3 weeks from a wrist injury as initially projected. And with Sabathia on the shelf, Sonny Gray may be coming back to the rotation. Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
