NFT: Yankees at Red Sox 7/22 GDT 7:10PM

that lineup with Odor batting 4th....it still looks wacky, but the guy seems to hit in big situations...

But I see r,l,r,l in the order

They’ve certainly answered the call to get more LH bats in the lineup. Not exactly what we were all thinking but what the hell

And is not listed as starting the rest of the week, and there has not been a corresponding injury move. Trade incoming?

And a reporter says much ado about nothing with Medina.

I've seen in my life

They’re about to get Nelson Cruz from the Twins.

trying to get in as a wild card?

You mustn't have been around for the early 70s,lol.

And it's now 29 straight innings, I believe, that the Yanks have not scored for Monty

it's been a good run for me haha. The first season I remember was 95. I watched almost the whole Mariners series and I was hooked on baseball. Didn't even become a football fan until a few years later.

But yes, I've been spoiled with some great lineups. I think 2000 was the best one I've seen. That lineup was such a nightmare for pitchers, they just waited you out.

Should be 2 outs one on First. I hate this brand of baseball

Ha - the early 70s were actually better than 1966. In 1966 the Yanks finished *last* in a 10-team league. You can look it up. The ghosts of Mantle, Maris, Howard and Boyer were still getting major playing time but were pretty much awful. The only big bat in the lineup was Joe Pepitone.

Yep. I was only 4. I really started watching around 9 years old and I couldn't believe that they used to win all the time like my dad and uncles told me. My grandfather died two years ago at 104. He was alive for every single Yankees championship. Imagine that.

30 straight innings with zero run support over!

You and I must be 10 years apart in age. The first Yankees excitement I can recall was the 1958 World Series, which the Yankees won 4 games to 3 over the Milwaukee Braves. Then, in '59, the White Sox won the pennant which was a shock as I think the Yanks had won pretty much every other pennant in the '50s. Then we won the pennant again in every year 1960 through '64 (although not the World Series in '63 or '64). Then the wheels came completely off, and as mentioned by 1966 the Yankees were last in a 10-team league. Things didn't come back until the '76 and '77 seasons and Chris Chambliss' home run.

That's amazing about your grandfather.

I was watching with my 12 year old brother while babysitting my two younger siblings. We went bananas and woke them both up. I learned to hate George Brett in that series.

but I'm PHing Sanchez for Papa Smurf there. Put Lemarre in the OF and Sanchez can catch five fuckin innings.

You have a righty hitter in Sanchez vs a lefty in Fenway. All hands on deck. I'm making that move.

seeing eye groundball singles are a PIA.

Fucking useless.

plays...singles on the ground killing them....

…

I got this.

What a waste of space.

Bah

about Florial not getting himself set for that throw. He has a cannon....

But the question is - how does a guy make MLB or AAA and not know how to make a proper throw. We all effin knew how to get just behind the ball and be moving toward the base or plate when making the catch and throw?

when Poon kept Gardner in the game with two men on and Sanchez on the bench.

If you're going to roll Sam Romano and Lucas Leutge, you need to at the very Fucking least get Papa Smurf out of the game in a high leverage situation vs a lefty.

But Poon will Poon.

off your shoulder....

That was huge.

Love the Odor bunt. That was a beauty.

runner in!

.

FTW!!

Nice.

Renfroe bobbled that ball and almost dropped it...too bad

That might have been the best relief inning of the year. That was sick.

It might be painful for some people to admit but the guy is a solid oitcher

let Cessa finish it - 5 pitches?? Save Green for tomorrow.

Sure why not? Got through the tough part of the order already.

It was 5 pitches, dopey.

Unrelated, but my friend's son just got a wrestling scholarship to UVA and signed. He's a great kid and totally out of his mind to get to Charlottesville. The head coach really worked to get him and it panned out. Great guy.

No more Dave Leitaos

Florial should stay with the big team. I just like the way he looks.

Shouldn’t have hesitated.

He’s not good.

Is giving the game to Green.

The analytics must say something about Green starting an inning or something.

Cessa threw five pitches.

I guess we'll roll the dice.

I getting there. His arm is not that strong and he is loose with his glove and just cannot hit....

Yeah, after that pitching by Cessa, I'd have leaned toward letting him stay in. He is the "long" reliever, so no problem coming back out.

in the zone....fuck me

He is still throwing too low...1 out to go

Sigh.

Letting Kike fucking Hernandez beat you.
