Happy Gil Day to all who celebrate.



For the forces of darkness, somebody named Bello is starting

Bob from Massachusetts : 6/14/2024 4:07 pm : link
I will NOT be rooting for the Yankees. That said, they'll probably win. The Sox are a team on the rise, but they're not there yet. Too many injuries. And the Yankees seem pretty much unbeatable
It really is a new era for the Red Sux because I’ve never heard

Devers is the only one I know in the lineup. Weird.
Verdugo Reception  
Jim in Tampa : 6/14/2024 5:57 pm : link
Curious to see what the Boston (fans) reception will be for Verdugo.

My guess is that it will be a mix of boos and indifference.
I'm always shocked

Let's go!

Great call. Launched a two-run bomb and had a good time rounding the bases.
Judge will lose  
RasputinPrime : 6/14/2024 7:49 pm : link
.100 off his career OPS because of these horseshit calls.

2-0

Verdugo!
Verdugo making his old team pay already!  
Dave in Hoboken : 6/14/2024 7:53 pm : link
2-0 Yankees.
Does anyone pop up  
section125 : 6/14/2024 7:54 pm : link
more balls than Torres? Think he needs Volpe's batting coach.
Ha ha they thought Stanton would run there?  
Stu11 : 6/14/2024 7:55 pm : link
That Verdugo HR "trot" was hilarious. If Bob Gibson was on the mound F waiting for his next AB, he would have taken the new ball the ump just handed him and wailed it straight Verdugo's noggin while he was running.
Verdugo is one of the redsox acquisitions I didnt mind  
BH28 : 6/14/2024 7:56 pm : link
maybe becasue I don't recall him killing us. Hated signing Damon and Youkilis.

Love seeing Verdugo go yard there, I wouldn't mind re-signing him as he seems to compliment this team well. And if he continues to do that against the sox...
Gil overthrowing

One was borderline and the strike 3 call was absurd.


You’d think he could get the benefit he the doubt on close ones but he doesn’t. Then he gets jobbed on obvious balls.
Gil  
RasputinPrime : 6/14/2024 8:09 pm : link
is really putting it together. My lord his stuff plays.

I can't wait to get Cole back and have them next to each other in that rotation.
Soto in Left is strange  
section125 : 6/14/2024 8:14 pm : link
and probably caused the foul up on the single - miscommunication. Think Judge may have had it. Wasn't Verdugo the left fielder while playing for the Sox?

That would block Dominguez, unless they don't re-sign Soto.

That is an important thing...I doubt they re-sign him.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 6/14/2024 8:23 pm : link
The early '00s battles between the Sox-Yankees were so fucking intense, even to me living in CA at the time. I have family members who are big Yankee & Sox fans. It really seems to have died down.

I'm not convinced the yanks are ready to go right to Dominguez and Judge seems to love Verdugo. I can see a short term deal working and not at the expense of Jasson.
I don’t want to rag on Gleyber Torres but…

if Verdugo can be converted to a 1st baseman

gets through 5. Good on Boone to let him learn.

I think he needs time off. Maybe skip a turn. Some fatigue causing poor control.

Relax. Let's ignore each other.
Shocking concept there by

Ferguson. Throw strikes, get ahead in the count and strike out the side.
I think that will transform baseball....

Nice to see Verdugo bending his old team over.  
St. Jimmy : 6/14/2024 10:36 pm : link
He used to kill the Yankees for them.
Tonkin  
section125 : 6/14/2024 10:47 pm : link
continues to be a reliable pitcher. I'd have he and Gonzalez at the same level and above Ferguson and Kahnle.

Always good to crush those pretenders.
well done!

Think he'll get an extra day if they plug Cole in to go vs the Orioles. Then Gil would open up Friday vs. Braves.
