Boston has played better ever since their mgr disclosed he had cancer

djm : 9/1/2015 6:59 pm : link

Why am i not surprised... The sox usually dog it once shit goes south but they have a reason to try now.

Please take 2-3 from those blowjobs.

I knew it

RasputinPrime : 9/1/2015 7:03 pm : link

Kay confirms that Gregorius' blast in the 9th would have been a HR is 28 of the 30 ballparks. Of course, not in Fenway.

"bone bruise has not healed in any way shape or form"

How is that possible?

it will be Headley (who is our 3rd baseman)

RasputinPrime : 9/1/2015 7:07 pm : link

Ackley or Romine that will fill in when Bird needs a blow.

Well that is very reassuring. We are in a pennant race right?

Gregorius' at bat shouldn't even matter

illmatic : 9/1/2015 7:10 pm : link

The Yankees should have scored at least a half dozen runs by that point in the game. Maybe they can learn to stop sucking ass with runners in scoring position. They had so many chances last night and repeatedly blew it. 14 men left on base too. They need to be better offensively.

As much as I like Tex he is a china doll. Players have called him out on his toughness in the past. Wonder if he has something in his makeup that makes him an extremely slow healer.

And people wonder how they're going to get Bird ABs next year (and he's no iron man himself).

Jackie Bradley Jr

illmatic : 9/1/2015 7:49 pm : link

has been killing it lately. That was a pretty fat pitch he just hit but still. Everyone was shitting on him and writing him off earlier in the season.

Brett Gardner screws up in LF....

Wasn't fielded cleanly but Bradley was scoring anyway, fast and off with crack of the bat with two out.

Like they said, Bradley hadn't touched 3rd base when the ball was bobbled. I don't think you can definitively say he would've scored... there should've been a close play at the play with a decent throw.

I don't like the strike zone but it has been pretty consistently generous.

Just a reminder fellas

Kyle in NY : 9/1/2015 8:04 pm : link

Rick Porcello had a 5.42 ERA coming into this game.

Yep

I don't think it is that generous.

section125 : 9/1/2015 8:05 pm : link

He's hitting all his marks with total control. He's just pitching lights out and if he doesn't get tired, they are fucked.

Good grief

Kyle in NY : 9/1/2015 8:18 pm : link

the ump is clearly giving him that pitch, stop looking at it for strike 3

Gotta put Bird behind Didi in the order

I Realize he's been red hot for like a month

but when did Jackie Bradley jr. Become Mickey Mantle?

It's a lot to ask of a kid, I know

Kyle in NY : 9/1/2015 8:21 pm : link

but Bird has gotta give them more than this with Teix out. A lot of tardy swings on low 90s fastballs.

Didi Magic for a 2 base error

His swing is a little long on elevated fastballs. He had a couple of pitches to put in play and fouled them off.

Shitty Sox defense helps. I always knew Stephen Drew was great.

Hey, Drew gives them a 2-1 lead

illmatic : 9/1/2015 8:23 pm : link

How about that.

Fuck this ham and egg pitcher in the face

Be awesome to have Pineda back

Jay in Toronto : 9/1/2015 8:57 pm : link

Great job on Ortiz

Bird gets screwed by a pretty high strike.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 9/1/2015 9:03 pm : link

David Cone is REALLY good doing these games now.

That K on Bird is Bird's fault.

section125 : 9/1/2015 9:05 pm : link

The dumb ass stood up before the ball crossed the plate. He does that a lot. Have to stay in your stance so the ump can see the top of the zone

It was borderline, but the issue is that the kid is six weeks out of AA. At AA and below pitches with that sort of late life, and pitchers who can locate them, are few and far between. It is something that will come with time. He is a future middle of the order bat, we need to be patient with him and not run him out of town on a rail because he is a little too passive at the plate in the early going.

Betances doesn't give a shit about Bradley or hot streaks

shockeyisthebest8056 : 9/1/2015 9:15 pm : link

or anything else.

I know people need to adjust to the zone, but that pitch to Drew

shockeyisthebest8056 : 9/1/2015 9:19 pm : link

is simply not a strike. It's never a strike.

I was responding to the "high strike" post. It was at the top of the zone and may have been a ball if he stayed in his stance.

3-1 Yanks

Speaking of dumb asses,

section125 : 9/1/2015 9:25 pm : link

how many of those inside strikes (which are strikes) are they going to look at tonight. Porcello is pitching exceedingly well, but for pete's sake the ump is calling that pitch consistently, so swing at it. He's been very consistent with that call.

This doesn't look good

dpinzow : 9/1/2015 9:29 pm : link

Betances in a jam

Betances fastball is doing

section125 : 9/1/2015 9:31 pm : link

nothing. The slider and curve are good.

That is a very close call

He's out. Pesky says the foot was off and he's out.

Replay is not in place to change calls like that.

If you see

Homersimpson : 9/1/2015 9:36 pm : link

where Betts wound up sitting, there's almost no way his right foot (tucked under his left leg) could be on the bag...easy peasy.

Agreed. And that ump was looking straight down on it. He had a better view than replay.
