Going for 10 in a row
He was a Mets prospect years ago. Sort of an interesting one, but never made it up. I knew he was still sort of floating around - didn't realize he was in Boston.
Happ has pitched well recently - and he's got a good track record against the Red Sox, as everyone knows - since we were beaten over the head with that in 2018.
Mazza sucks. No reason not to beat them again.
Also, what's up with JD Martinez? Even when Mookie was there, Martinez was still probably the toughest AB in their lineup and the hardest guy to get out. He has been brutally bad this year. Not sure if he just is totally checked out on this season with how bad the Red Sox are or what. I know he was one of the most vocally opposed to any sort of limited video during games and seemed most bothered by any sort of changes to those rules, maybe that has something to do with it too.
Not our problem.
Just keep winning. October is coming.
I read that. He says he hasn't been feeling well with stomach issues. Hope this is not serious. Really good manager.
Higgy did just have a game for the ages, too. So might as well give him a game here.

Yeah, IIRC, he is deeply effected by the video rules. Likes to study film between at bats to see what they were doing to him.
As Frazier drills the single to drive in Judge 2-0
Saw that, funny stuff. And Frazier delivers the 2 out RBI.
As for JD Martinez, maybe he’s finding out it’s harder when they can’t cheat to figure out what pitch is coming? Just a thought...
Altuve cruising along with a .217 avg and .601 OPS this season

That's right. Makes me wonder whether they should ban tablets for good. Seems unfair to bring it back if it allows such a competitive advantage.

No real time/sameday video, agree.
He got to a ball that is normally through for a hit, so I do not see that as looking bad.

L:ooked very bad there. No DJLM lurking in him.

I was too quick with my remark. Did not see the beginning of the play. Only caught the uncomfortable twirl bad throw. Should have shut up about it.
Horrible read is right.

Ha, no biggie. It was an awkward throw.

Bad read I think?
Horrible read is right.
Terrible read, ball was caught before he got back to 2nd. Doing too much.
shush.....
You're right. That's crazy
And why was Judge going? Gardy miss a hit and run?

That's right. You get one challenge. If you are successful you get another.

once per game.

Lol. I just remembered we won it. Yeah, we have a challenge still. Bad managing.
Yes and I think Boone read him the riot act the way Judge was looking.
And he will get better in the OF. He has skills...good arm, great speed. He appears to be getting smoother and smoother out there.
Section asks a great question. I used to shudder when he was to start. No more.
It was a bad throw, but I also think Urshela was not expecting it and so was out of position, as the play was to first base there. Take the easy out.
Couple of bonehead plays out there tonight. Gardy, Judge and Voit on the bases and Wade in the field...
Boone can chew some butts tonight. Not a good look.
I was close....8-0
Another win for Jints! Good job.
Frazier is hilarious. Between trying to save a bug with his lineup card and outing Gardy for stealing his turtleneck, he's had me laughing a good bit tonight. Can't believe how much he's grown on me. Last year I didn't see any future for him here, now I don't want to see him anywhere else.
Break that record tomorrow and make it 11.
The train rolls on.
Happ has turned his season around, great effort.
Now about that baserunning...
