About the Author
Goldy might pass Rice in OPS by the end of this series.
BRUTAL strikeout by Bellinger.
First and third and one out, and now they probably get no runs here.
Martian told me to shut the fuck up, he is a lefty killer now.
It’s weird to me that Kay knew enough to know DMX’s name, but not that DMX was, you know, dead.
Fucking Wells just fucked Schlittler out of an out, and it led to a walk. Hate that shit.
And now a stolen base. FUCK, Wells.
Jesus, Wells!! If you hit this terribly, you can’t make these extra fuckups!
And now Schlittler fucking shit up with an insane error, throwing to second base on a pickoff when there was no fielder there to take his throw!
Cam gets out
Rice keeps swinging at balls. It’s so annoying.
Jesus fucking Christ, what the fuck is up with Schlittler and Wells in this game?! They’re just brain dead out there!
Two ugly AB by Rice.
Eh, he hit it pretty hard for the out on the second at-bat. But yes, an awful first at-bat, and some terrible swings in the second at-bat.
What was that?
He thought Wells would get it, and I guess Wells didn’t shout enough at him to get it. Just mind-numbingly awful.
Schlittler is just a NUTJOB tonight. 0-2 pitch to a shitty hitter and he fucking hits him.
No harm, no foul in the end, except for fucking up his pitch count, of course.
Another too many pitches in two innings.
Wow, was NOT expecting that from Cabby!
Hilariously, the only Red Sox hit was the easy popup that Schlittler just didn’t bother to catch.
The kid with the townie uniform who caught the home run seemed happy. I’m surprised the fans didn’t make him toss it back.
Yeah, that surprised me, too.
Four runners on but two were not on the pitching.
I have no idea why Girardi wanted a splitter there. Obviously you throw high heat in that situation.
Goddamn, Schlittler is so fucking good.
Those were EMASCULATING strikeouts. Just, “Fuck you, you guys can’t hit me,” and then just destroyed them with fastballs.
Eight pitch inning
Rice is slumping big time.
Six pitch walks almost make me madder than four-pitch walks, because they wasted two more pitches.
What the FUCK was that from Rosario?!! How do you leap if you didn’t know that you had it?
Man, that guy is an AWFUL defender.
Where’s Jeter?
Walking Yoshida leading off, ungood.
And wasting six pitches to do it!
Contreras is one of the only guys who really worries me here.
And now he’s 2-0 to him. Ruh roh.
Goddammit Rosario, why do you suck so fucking much!?!?
Rosario not having a good inning. If you don’t have the reflexes, don’t play 3rd.
Rosario sucking aside, that was on Schlittler for going to 2-0 on Contreras.
In Fenway, why not have Rosario in left field and Cabby at third?
And on cue, an awful throw by Cabby. I mean, I’m sure Rosario would have made an even WORSE throw, but still.
Leadoff walks lead to bad things so very often.
Just too many pitches, 84 and counting through 4.2.
let’s make ss and lf worse for reasons
Rosario played Contreras’ liner TERRIBLY, but that can’t be an error. Come on, dudes, let’s be serious.
And there’s the game.
I think Schlittler is probably TOO pumped up to face Boston. He was a fucking NUTJOB tonight.
I don’t think so. He can’t be more pumped up then in the playoff clincher. I think he’s always pumped up.
He’s definitely acting weird tonight. Maybe he has something else going on.
Rosario has 62 games in the OF. Maybe they need to switch Caballero and Rosario. And why’s Waldo here?
I would do it, but Rosario likely doesn’t throw out Raffaela, either.
No but Cabby probably makes the DP on the hot shot.
That was hit SO hard, I really don’t know. That’s why I think it’s absurd to call it an error.
that williams trade didn’t really work out too well
Boston traded Kyle Harrison who’s killing it for Durbin.
Awful performance by Cam. You can’t be throwing that many pitches in so few innings, and walking a leadoff hitter who is hitting in the 230’s then giving up a HR to a guy like Durbin.
Dreadful outing.
Yeah, an absolute headcase of an outing by Schlittler.
Fucked by his fielders, but he was still terrible.
Last 15 games Rice 210/279/403 and Cody 241/339/407 last 7 190/346/238. Without those guys we could hit the skids real quick.
Great comeback inning by the Yankees. 🤪
We’ve seen a lot of Blackburn lately.
He’s been getting the job done.
jomboy was saying that the yanks are something like 1-10 for double plays since volpe has been reinstalled at short
Fucking Brooks Kriske
Whitlock before tonight 1.77 era vs Yankees, 174 BA against. Brooks Kriske career era 9. Thanks Cash.
so sick of the volpe experience
Jazz with the negative IQ play. Swinging 3-0 down three in the ninth with a man on and no outs.
Against a struggling Chapman. Criminal.
I’d prefer Waldo here. Schumann is hitting 194, career 211.
Boone loves Schumann.
Do you believe in miracles? Not so much.
Presumably Yerry down, Chivilli 1ip 0r 1h, Lagrange 1.1ip 0r 1h 2k, so I suppose Yovanny will come up.
Schlittler lowered his ERA 🙂
Brutal defense
