We really need to win tonight. Can't make Rodriguez look like a CY Young candidate. We need hits and runs. Sox are in a tear. 9-1 in last 10 games including 8 in a row.
We have Severino on the mound tomorrow and he always gives us a chance to win.
Holy Smokes! 420/442/780/1.222 since the trade, just looked it up.
He was raking after coming back from the hamstring injury in July in SF, but that's nuts.
That's still a .400 OBP for a game. Considering that no one else in the lineup is likely to do that, I doubt he moves down.

Judge 0-3, with 2 walks, 2 K and 5 LOB until Joe moves him down in the lineup?

If whoever was hitting behind him scared the pitcher, he wouldn't be carrying that line every game.
Sanchez probably has the second or third best OPS on the team the past few weeks. He's been good with no one on base and absolutely HORRENDOUS with anyone on. I guess moving him up to the 2 hole mitigates that problem... hopefully.
Garrett freakin' Cooper is the only guy on the team who's even made solid contact with RISP lately. Everyone else is striking out, popping up, or hitting a worthless fly ball with 2 outs. It's fucking ridiculous.
But man, he looks so lost up there.
It's mid-August, the Sox are red hot. The Yankees are fighting for their lives. There are a lot of young players new to this rivalry and sensitivities will be at a maximum.
I'm not predicting a Varitek - ARod situation, but a bench warning or two wouldn't surprise me.

Fights happen a lot less with young players who are new to a rivalry. It's the experienced players holding a grudge (on both sides) that usually cause the tension.

This game is more important, but it's been soooooooo long between Giants games, I need my fix ;>)
He would give us a Nunez like jolt potentially with his Stick.
Sanchez in the 2 hole
He made on bad pitch and he looks bad? I like what I see. As the game has gone on, he has gotten better. He has to get comfortable with his team and catcher.
The bats are just absent. This has been an MO of this team for years. How does a whole team just go dead at the same time.
All you can ask from Garcia is keep it close.
True, unfortunately.
How is it the hitting coach's fault whrn they are swinging at piss poor pitches?
New coach to team: "Dont swing at shitty pitches"

Maybe they need a new hitting coach? This is unacceptable.

Actually they have been God awful for years with the same staff. I'm beginning to wonder myself. Have you ever seen any other good team go into the extended teamwide slumps the Yankees go into?
I don't know the answer.

You make a very good point. But they were also number 1 offense in the league in the 1st half weren't they?
Here we go...some life!
