Rain moving quickly to BOS, arrive as early as 7:30 now. 2 possibilities: a) a delay (if it occurs is likely earlier) and b) could they delay the start of the game now? I think that is a real possibility. PPD threat has to be raised as well, to 10-15%
Sabathia also gets a fine for going on the field while being on the DL.
Someday, someone has to explain to me how it is fair that a player gets a suspension costing multiple starts, while a SP get a suspension that amounts to a single start getting moved back a few days. Particularly when the SP started an altercation by deliberately hitting a player with a pitch. This is BS, how else can players defend themselves when pitchers don't have to stand in the batters box themselves.

Well, Joe Kelly since last year has not been a starting pitcher. He's been coming out of the pen for the Sox.
But glad to see a Yanks pitcher not afraid to pitch inside. Not rooting for Hanley to be injured, but that’s what Pedro did to the Yanks a dozen times over the years
That being said, I’d put the chances of the Sox retaliating Â

It didn’t look intentional but I suspect a yankee will be hit.(later on tonight) And honestly I really can’t blame the Sox’s. They just lost their hottest hitter
every time I see him pitch, it just makes me think of guys like Verlander and Cole. One of the recent, rare Cash miscues. But could ultimately be a huge one.
If I were a Yankee fan I would be clamoring for Girardi. There is nothing at all wrong with the offense on that team.
Pitching is suspect.
The pitching is definitely suspect and I blame Cashman for that. I'll praise the good moves he's made but I'll also blame him for not doing more for the pitching staff.
But freaking out about the offense and Boone so early in the season is silly. If they were 2-9 right now then I could maybe see it. But Boone could settle in and learn the players better and the lineup is banged up, plus half of them are just cold and it's still early.
No excuse for this pitching, though. There's no excuse for not going for Cole. Gray is a #4 or #5 guy and they went into the season acting like he's a 2 or 3. They need another 1/2 type.

How bout we check the records in August, OK boss?
Oh I completely agree...things will revert to the mean. I am not pumping up the Mets long term, the Yankees are clearly the superior team, but the Yanks do look very much out of sorts
The throw from 2nd to home, which was blown, could have been made by any little leaguer.
Would you want fans of other teams jumping on our threads when the Mets are struggling to jam their unsolicited opinions about our team in our faces?
Probably not, right?
Don't be a douche.
I'm watching this game because the Mets are off.
The Yankees have PLENTY of talent and will be absolutely fine. It's April 12.
No argument from me. Yankees are a better team.
Lighten up.
I'm just saying - you're only going to agitate people with posts like that. I don't think anyone here really cares what a Mets fan thinks of their team.
Anyway, sorry for de-railing this thread dudes - I'm watching the game so I just opened the thread for the hell of it.

The Yankees offense will come around but the pitching is a question mark. Gray sucks.
but I really don't like the way the Yanks look. They look like trash. If the Yankees lineup can't hit against Porcello, I don't know what to say?! Porcello must be the best pitcher in the Mlb?! Even Sale allowed a HR.. pathetic.

Not that you are wrong, but what is today's date? In 1998, they were 6-4 on this date. Last year they were 4-4.
i'm shocked they are yanking Gray. He is dogshit tonight but 68 pitches?
German is in. It's friggin pouring rain.
Another bullpen killing move by Boone. When Cashman got Gray from Oakland his primary attribute was that he was a horse. He wasn't lights out there, but he pitched innings and went deep in games. Here Boone gives him the early hook two games in a row.
I read that Boone is the first manager since Lou Pinella that didn't have minor league experience . It shows. Anybody that can remember those dark days saw Pinella abusing the pitchers and making bonehead moves. Another thing: Torreyes hit something like .350 against lefties last year and he's been hitting well this year. Didn't Mr. Analytics see that ? Why was he not in the lineup against Sale and Price ?
I can live with 6-7 on April 12, but I was scratching my head when Cashman hired this guy. Right now it looks like a dreadful mistake.
contract. Hal is getting under the 197 no matter what. As far as Cole goes most people who post here didn't want him and didn't want to trade Andujar for him.
Looks like Gray got an undeserved reputation as a high quality pitcher Â
and he is if you send him out against bottom dwellers like the Marlins. Guy would look like Koufax.
Boone looks over his head. Glad he can communicate with the press and players.
Judge looks like he is taking another step if that's possible . Last year I think Sales ate him up. This year it was the other way. Maybe just luck but I wouldn't bet on it.
Did still growing and improving. Its early but he really look more and more like the real deal
This pattern of holding back players to get 7 years of control is a possible mistake . When the players union negotiates a new deal in 2021 this loop hole will be closed and likely retroactive to guys that are now playing.
... Sonny Gray is not a true #1 or #2 for the Yankees. He is a borderline #2 and probably a good 3/4. Of course he is better than this. He is good pitcher, though probably not in the Verlander/Cole class. Cashman got him because he was cheap, not because he was better than the other guys on the market, Darvish/Verlander. We got the cheap guy. But that's ok if he's a mid rotation guy.
If Sonny Gray is the Yanks' second best pitcher this season we're not winning anything this year.
He's really more like a #4. I'm just hoping they can swing a trade for a guy who can be right up there with Severino as a potential ace type. Sev/?/Tanaka/Gray/Sabathia would be ideal. There are always injuries so Montgomery would get plenty of action too for those who love him.

well let's face it.. the yanks arrived early last year. they got lucky. this was supposed to be the year they started to come around. And now we have all these expectations. Do you want to give up the farm for an ace? Cause that is what it is going to cost. I don't. I want to see them build this thing out a little. Let's think long term .. that's my opinion anyway.
takes forever to deliver, puts the defense to sleep. Cone was very enlightening about him not even thinking about the inside corner fastball with 2 strikes. He couldn't hit a spot for anything last night. Gary down and in, Sonny up and away. WPs. UGH. Not a fan.
Wade looks bad, but he's still a kid. The Bird injury is really hurting them. Bird at 1B lets Walker play 2B, puts Wade on the bench. Stanton needs to be a DH at Fenway. The only thing worse than having him in LF there would be having him in RF. Could you imagine him trying to navigate the RF corner?! On the plus side, he had another hit.
They didn't seem to have much fire last night. I thought they would be a little more "up" after the fight and big win.
Since he's on the 40 man roster he does not qualify for an extra year of team control if he's called up before the season is 20 days old.
That's okay. Another few weeks of reps and ABs at SWB can only help him.
I also think it wise not to rush him up after a couple of poor games by Wade, make it look like he's a savior. No need to pressure the kid like that. If he's ready, I think May 1 makes sense.
Gardner, Hicks, Walker and 3rd base are 250- 260 hitters. Not good enough.
Walker's range at 2b seems limited. The pirates were spending 17 million a year for this guy. If that dosn't say the system was broken I don't know what would.
and second worst in the AL in runs allowed. Not sure how anyone thinks their problem is the offense.
The offense has been all or nothing so far this season. Stats don't show it but watching all the games so far this season shows the offense is struggling.
Nobody has argued against the fact that the pitching has been terrible.
you've got a good team, they'll come around, it's too early in the season to worry. Maybe Gray will even turn around. As a Sox fan, it should be a fun and I'm sure back-and-forth season. Let's all enjoy the ups and inevitable downs....
About who is trolling?? If you are referring to me please. Your cry more then anyone on here you think every opposing player is a scrub. And people have been bitching and moaning about Stanton on here since last week which is ridiculous let the guy adjust to the new league, New York and weather jeeeze

But of course you were nowhere to be found on last nights game thread.
2. Andrew Benintendi (L) LF .206/.400/.324, 0.2 fWAR
3. Hanley Ramirez (R) 1B .357/.404/.548, 0.5 fWAR
4. J.D. Martinez (R) DH .250/.295/.500, 0.1 fWAR
5. Rafael Devers (L) 3B .256/.348/.436, 0.3 fWAR
6. Eduardo Nunez (R) 2B .220/.256/.390, 0 fWAR
7. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF .206/.289/.265, -0.1 fWAR
8. Sandy Leon (S) CA .100/.100/.100, -0.1 fWAR
9. Brock Holt (L) SS .077/.294/.077, -0.2 fWAR
He'd hurt himself to help his teammates.
Hopefully Austin comes back in 5 games and continues to help out his team like he has.
I figured it would have been 3 and 6

Lots of baseball to go.

I respect that. I didn't mean to be critical but I can see how any comments are unwelcome...later...
Outclassed.
Down 6 before anyone in the lineup gets a damn hit. Early night for me I guess.
German is in. It's friggin pouring rain.
I read someplace recently a comparison to Phil Hughes. Sadly, it fits. Nibbles and his stuff is inconsistent from start to start.
Not that you are wrong, but what is today's date? In 1998, they were 6-4 on this date. Last year they were 4-4.

There is no such thing as a 23 year old AAAA player who has already played at the MLB level.

Gerritt Cole sporting an ERA under 1.00 in Houston, by the way.
That's okay. Another few weeks of reps and ABs at SWB can only help him.
