How wonderful

mfsd : 4/27/2017 7:01 pm : link

Pedroia nearly loses a leg last week, and he's back in the lineup. What a gritty player

That aside, any chance we can get to Sale tonight?

we have a better lineup against LHP

RasputinPrime : 4/27/2017 7:12 pm : link

this year but i'm not going to bet the farm on it.

Sale is looking crazy good

adamg : 4/27/2017 7:19 pm : link

Tanaka looks good too.

This is going to be a duel, it seems.

Both only threw 9 pitches through 1 I think

adamg : 4/27/2017 7:20 pm : link

also.

Ugh

BigBlueShock : 4/27/2017 7:27 pm : link

That 3rd strike to Judge looked outside to me

Both strike 2 and 3 were outside and close to low...

Sale might throw a one hitter

B in ALB : 4/27/2017 7:42 pm : link

Or something tonight. Fuckin hell.

Sox Can't Win...

Jim in Tampa : 4/27/2017 7:54 pm : link

Unless they can get to Tanaka. Just match Sale for 7 innings and Yanks can win it late.

These announcers on MLB

xman : 4/27/2017 8:01 pm : link

I think I'm ok

dune69 : 4/27/2017 8:03 pm : link

with a 1-0 win.

I'm sure Dellin is ready again, but Chapman may not be after 30 pitches in the cold rain last night. But who knows he was well rested beforehand

The way Tanaka is pitching

jgambrosio : 4/27/2017 8:58 pm : link

I may just keep everyone in the pen. He may pitch a complete game here.

Tanaka, only 75 through 7 innings.

Mahomes to KC!

Amazing. Toe to toe vs Sale on a Friday night at Fenway...finish this, Tanaka-San!!

Sorry, wrong thread

dpinzow : 4/27/2017 9:31 pm : link

Masahiro pitched like a hero for 8 innings

Heck of a series sweep here@pitching!

yatqb : 4/27/2017 9:33 pm : link

Tanaka 3 hit shut out

section125 : 4/27/2017 9:34 pm : link

in Fen-fucking-way....What a beautiful win!

Brilliant work from Tanaka. Wow.

bceagle05 : 4/27/2017 9:34 pm : link

What a great series at Fenway. I know the Sox have talent, but it's just different without Ortiz.

Incredible CG shutout

dpinzow : 4/27/2017 9:36 pm : link

from Tanaka

Tanaka with

The 12th Man : 4/27/2017 9:37 pm : link

a gem. Holliday maybe with one of those breakout moments as a Yankee. Loving this start.

16 shutout innings over 2 nights in Fenway

mfsd : 4/27/2017 9:38 pm : link

by Severino and Tanaka...someone forgot to tell them the rotation was the Yanks weak link this season

Huge series this weekend even early in the season

jgambrosio : 4/27/2017 9:41 pm : link

Would love to sweep the O's and move into first

Man, if Chapman had been himself last night

Greg from LI : 4/27/2017 9:44 pm : link

Would have had back to back shutouts in Fenway.

The Sawx have some good contact hitters, but no one that really scares you anymore.

Tanaka

Great game!

Without Ortiz they are toothless. Like I said last night, nobody scares me in Boston...

Man, it's early

BigBlueShock : 4/27/2017 9:50 pm : link

but the possibilities looking forward are fun. If this team, who none of us expected to compete for a playoff spot this year, is actually this good and can stay healthy, they have a TON of trade chips to add a big time pitcher at the deadline if they so choose. I'm not sure what pitchers would even be available, or if the need would be there if we keep getting pitching like this, but it's fun to think about. Yes I know I'm thinking ahead and expectations are likely getting a bit high, but damn, that's why we are fans! Think positive!

OMG make the pick

blueblood : 4/27/2017 9:52 pm : link

who cares about this high school football team !!!!!!!!!

oops wrong thread

blueblood : 4/27/2017 9:53 pm : link

my bad

had an event tonight so missed this one, but wow!

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 10:02 pm : link

Tanaka was the man tonight ...

Gotta get some revenge on the O's this weekend for that series down at their place. Keep it rolling!

13-7, and two of those losses were games they should have won

Greg from LI : 4/27/2017 10:12 pm : link

12-3 after that ugly start.

pitching coach Larry Rothschild being interviewed -

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 10:14 pm : link

lol, not sure what I thought he was like, but he's a different personality than I expected. Low key to put it mildly.

Exactly - silly that those two losses so early in the season still nag at me but they do. We'd be in first but for them. And I have no love for the O's, never have, going back to the Frank and Brooks Robinson days.

first Yankee complete game shutout at Fenway

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 10:22 pm : link

since Mike Mussina in 2002.

watching Romine get interviewed -

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 10:26 pm : link

gotta say, we obviously need Sanchez back big time, but Romine is a very credible guy and calls a great game. I can see how pitchers would like him to be back there, not that they don't like Gary. What a great problem to have. Sanchez should DH occasionally.

dang...

Mark C : 4/27/2017 10:26 pm : link

at this point, it's getting hard to remind oneself that it's only April. If this is the kind of pitching the Yanks are going to put out there regularly, look the fuuuuk out!

We're not gonna play .650 ball all season

bceagle05 : 4/27/2017 10:34 pm : link

but this sure is fun. If Severino is gonna pitch like a legit #2/3 and Judge hits 30 HRs, this is a dangerous team.

Just enjoy it.

section125 : 4/27/2017 10:38 pm : link

It will crash some, but they are playing with house money..

Remarkable - I remember that game, and can't believe it was 15 years ago

Mussina will never get the fullest credit he deserves for pitching the way he did in the AL East during the height of the steroid era

As for this version of the Yanks - on top of amazing pitching so far, the defense has been better than expected...lots of big plays the last couple weeks from guys not considered top glove men

was that the game that mussina took a no hitter

jgambrosio : 4/27/2017 10:52 pm : link

into the ninth? or was it actually a perfect game?

I think that was 2001...if memory serves, Mussina also pitched a shutout against Pedro at Fenway in 2002, that's the game I was thinking of

mussina was certainly underrated

jgambrosio : 4/27/2017 10:57 pm : link

too bad he'll never get the acclaim he really deserves. so collected on the mound, just took care of business

GREAT Win!

Dave in Hoboken : 4/27/2017 11:01 pm : link

Nice 2 game sweep. Feeling empty after the draft, so good to know I have my Yanks!

I see the Birds are starting a LHP (Acquino) against us tomorrow night

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 11:19 pm : link

- that may mean we see the same starting lineup as tonight, and no Didi (or Bird, or Gardner) until Saturday.

Ugh. Fuck Carl Everett

I remember a friend of mine who was a Red Sox

St. Jimmy : 4/27/2017 11:30 pm : link

fan going nuts when they got a hit. It was like "Really? They still are going to lose." He was always amped for the Yankee-Red Sox games. At that point they were just a team that choked away a World Series against the Mets to me.

besides the Mussina comp, per RAB tonight Tanaka was

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 11:35 pm : link

"the first pitcher to shut out the Red Sox on fewer than 100 pitches since James Shields in 2008."

Tanaka threw 97 pitches tonight. Old school ...

Tanaka was toying with them tonight.

bceagle05 : 4/27/2017 11:46 pm : link

Didn't break a sweat.

it's only April ... but it's almost May, and we're 20 games

Del Shofner : 4/27/2017 11:54 pm : link

into the season, which is a growing sample size. We're tied for second in the AL overall and are the AL leaders in run differential by a large margin. With our two best all-around position players sidelined so far.

OK ... I know I'm smoking something. Could I please have some more?

Tanaka is so much better with an extra day off.

Toastt34 : 4/28/2017 4:43 am : link

Love watching this team so far.
