Game Thread Yankees vs. Red Sox Saturday 10/6/18, 8:15 pm

[Mattingly23NY]

Sanchez in Fenway, batting .470 with 7 HR's in 21 plate appearances....

If you're only going to hit against one team it has to be against Boston...

 

[cagedlion]

Betances again has trouble in his 2nd inning of work.....with the help of bad play by
Cutch in left field. Now it’s 6-2. That’s all he surrenders.

 

[mrmel29]

Ok 2 innings to go up 4. looks like chap in8yh and britton closing ninth which I actually like. Hope we can add a few more though

Change that. looks like briton 8th and chap 9th. May work out better with top of boston order up in 8th

 

[cagedlion]

I'm watching it on TBS. Previously you Mentioned your cable package was expensive, & cable $$$ these days is out of control.... do you get TBS on a basic package???

These cable companies are robbing us with their shit packages. In NY they want an extra $20 per month for TBS.
They can drop dead for such a bullshit station.

 

[mrmel29]

Don't really understand the roster move tarpley for wade. For this series wade fits perfect as a later inning pinch runner for voit which would have resulted in no play at 2nd even though we got robbed on the replay anyway and then walker in for the defensively challenged voit. Works perfectly. Don't really see tarpley involved in this series.

 

[mrmel29]

Ok. 1 more inning and coming home tied with seve on the mound

 

[cagedlion]

It’s amazing how Judge comes up with nobody on base.....

 

[cagedlion]

I thought CC was starting game 3 at the Stadium?

 

[cagedlion]

They want no part of Judge.

cc game 4

 

[cagedlion]

Two walks to open the 9th inning. Another Bosox huddle on the mound. Pressure is off.....
and Stanton is again up with RISP.....uncanny!

 

[cagedlion]

He just can kill any rally. A DP!

 

[mrmel29]

Stanton with 2 games to forget in boston.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Note to Boner: Can you find a substitute for Stanton at DH. The guy has stranded or failed to advance 9 runners in 2 games. Thank You

 

[cagedlion]

Chapman to pitch the 9th inning.

 

[Lillie]

Come on you Criminal.

 

[mrmel29]

Come on you Criminal.

And just like that Lill is back!!

 

[mrmel29]

And not a moment too soon lill

 

[cagedlion]

A DP grounder Theeeeeee Yankees win! 6-2 final.

 

[Lillie]

It's over.

 

[mrmel29]

Ballgame over yankees win thuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yankees win.

 

[cagedlion]

Yankees are first road team to win game in these best of 5 games!

 

[cagedlion]

Cannot wait for Rob’s summation of this game. Tanaka pitched his 5 innings giving bosox one run.
Sanchez drove in 4 runs. Judge, for me, was Boston’s kryptonite. After that first inning HR, they seemed
to want no part of him.

Players to hit a HR in the first 3 consecutive postseason games-
Elite company-

Aaron Judge 2018
Hank Bauer 1958
Johnny Mize 1952

Not to down play Judge, but Mize and Bauer did those things in the World Series. Mize was before my time but Bauer I remember well. Used to call him Hank the tank, one good workingmans ball player. Another on that got me was Reggie Jax hit 18 post season home runs. Mickey Mantle did that in the World Series.

 

[roywhite6]

Pretty shabby performance for this team. Got a couple good players but overall team build is shaky. We see poor pitching or poor offense or mismanagement by Boner. Not a good formula for a win.

I honestly think the Yankees are the better team and will win both games at The Stadium to knock the Sox out. They should have won game 1 had they cashed in on the many RISP situations. Right now, the Yankees are better than the Sox and have been the more dominant team so far.

 

[cagedlion]

not feeling well guys, need to lay down. catch you in a few

Roy, take as much time to lay down and rest.....we are not going anywhere. We understand.

 

[roywhite6]

I'm watching it on TBS. Previously you Mentioned your cable package was expensive, & cable $$$ these days is out of control.... do you get TBS on a basic package???

No Matt. I went with the Amazon Fire Stick. One payment of $39.95 and I cut the cord on the cable completely I can watch everything from movies (the day after they come out in theaters) to netflix and more. Anything actually...except for live events.

There is a way I can get live content but I haven't found the formula yet. It has to be something like - a basic cable or basic tv channel to make it work. TBS is probably something I could get.

But hey, I have you guys so...

Read at your own peril- TMI to follow...

20$$ for TBS is insane, 4A Channel I only watch to see postseason baseball.

TBS once as much America's channel for every single Braves game, Ted Turner's genius, which became my migraine.
When I moved my family to Georgia, the first two weeks of the MLB season were nothing but Braves games every single game every single day of play. It wasn't until the third week, with the cable package I had; before I would see anybody other than the Braves play.

Back then the satellite dishes were 8 to 10 ft Broad in diameter. With a network of 100's of wires and cables, befitting of electrical checkout DITMCO testing on an aircraft. A real pain in the ass to hook it all up to the receiver, and other numerous electrical components. One of the worst methods of TV broadcasting I've ever dealt with. Needless to say I spent an entire weekend hooking up the system so I could finally get a wide variety of MLB channels the Yankees in particular...

The satellite and its equipment came as one of the benefits of the house I bought. I never would have purchased one of those old over-priced Jumbotron Moon Unit dinosaur era satellite dishes, receivers Transformers et al bulshit from hell. They cost a fortune and no way was I going to invest in one.

The couple we bought our place from in Georgia, we're a middle-aged couple with no kids, they ran a business together. Now they could afford to invest in toys like that they had no kids to raise...
If I had to choose one or the other it would be kids every single time. You could teach Three Sons how to become a Sandlot team; but you can't teach a dish how to catch a ball...

Pre-Game Recap-

I saw this on my daily YouTube feed. Before I even watched it, and when I saw the title- "are Boston fans prejudice"?? It occurred to me well they certainly are disrespectful. Regardless of being the last team in MLB to integrate, they definitely are a disrespectful SOB's.
Sons of Boston, suckers of baseball, stink of Bean town, sorriest owner in baseball, (Yawkey), Spells Of Bambino....

Disrespectful because they do not rise when the Judge enters the holy Chambers.
Disrespectful because theydo not bow when a .186 hitter on the year i.e. Sanchito, puts on a display Beyond the sacred Grace up Ted Williams. The hometown Fenway feng shui fans Rose and food Price's exit, they could have at least on the same for Sanchito, a sign of true respect.

One thing is for sure Boston fans have no respect for Yankees. Even though Yankee Doodle Dandy rang thru the streets of Bahstan, when the Redcoats were pushed back across the sea to England.

Perhaps that is the problem, the Red Sox wearing red coats red shirts and red shoes, damned loyalist to the queen, Traitors 2 the Yankee Doodle Dandy of Yorktown, spare the Tea and throw the team into the sea...

Disrespect or racism what's the difference. When it comes to Boston sports fans they are one and the same...
