7/31 - Close the month with a win

[Bergs]

Maybe, maybe not. Raffy's not that good at 3rd, and Casas would appear to be logjamming 1B (or DH). BTW, if I had to wager on who has better offensive numbers over the next 5 years between Tristan and Raffy, I'd be going with Tristan.

It's an interesting glut of LHH DH-types.

You could make the argument that Yoshida, Casas and Devers are DHs in waiting

Only an asshole would even contemplate that.

 

[mauidano]

Smoke! Nick Pivetta is doing that straight up thing.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

You could make the argument that Yoshida, Casas and Devers are DHs in waiting

I just think there are a lot more mediocre fielders playing regularly than their are mid-20 regular DH's(I understand Masa is 30, really talking about the other 2)

 

[Bergs]

that was a nasty pitch.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Always good to see competent ball-and-strike calls.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Maybe big dick Nick just needed some time in the bullpen to unlock his true power.

 

[mauidano]

@ESPNStatsInfo
The Yankees lineup has 30 strikeouts over their last 2 games, their most in a 2-game span in franchise history.

Sean Casey thing as hitting coach really catching on I see.

 

[patinorange]

The bottom of this order tonight. Yuk

 

[derekson]

He doesn't seem as bad on defense as reported. Maybe he's not winning any gold gloves, but he hasn't been a detriment out there, has he?

He's been about as advertised out there. Definitely well below average and I don't think you can chalk it up to the defensive stats handling Fenway poorly.

 

[derekson]

You could make the argument that Yoshida, Casas and Devers are DHs in waiting

It's not even a bad argument

 

[soxhop411]

 

[Bergs]

Nick Pivetta straight up mowing pricks down except for that one dude!

 

[simplicio]

The 9 DHs strategy worked okay for Philly last year I suppose.

 

[Bergs]

Pablo!

Love it

 

[barclay]

Well I would've had Chang bunt but I ain't the manager

edit: but that will do!

 

[derekson]

Pablo is a much more intriguing player to keep than Chang IMO.

 

[Bergs]

Beautiful play by Suarez.

 

[Bergs]

Ha ha! Fuck you, blue!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Duran putting up another good AB

 

[derekson]

DURAN IS THE MAN. Him becoming a real leadoff hitter and a decent defensive CF has been such a revelation.

 

[barclay]

Given the pitch count, Kirby may be done after this inning. Hopefully sooner.

 

[Bergs]

If you had told me last year how much I love Duran right now I would've laughed in your face.

 

[derekson]

Duran has to take 2nd to keep JT out of the DP.

 

[RCheco56]

Steal immediately

 

[E5 Yaz]

If you had told me last year how much I love Duran right now I would've laughed in your face.

Or Pivetta

 

[derekson]

If you had told me last year how much I love Duran right now I would've laughed in your face.

At least half the the members on this forum were ready to trade him away for a bag of used baseballs.

 

[Bergs]

Given the pitch cunt, Kirby may be done after this inning. Hopefully sooner.

Reported.

 

[barclay]

Reported.

I forgot the "oh."

edit: someone is about to kill me, and it ain't; anyone on this board. I'm in trouble.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

UmpGPT

 

[BoSoxFink]

Yoshida getting a lot of breaking balls

 

[Bergs]

FUCK!!!! I thought that was gonna drop.

 

[BoSoxFink]

This offense right now…..

 

[BigSoxFan]

Double farts

 

[LesterFan]

The one time he hits the ball hard it goes straight to someone

 

[RCheco56]

That was a good swing from Yoshida. More of those, fewer one hoppers to 2nd

 

[Bergs]

Or Pivetta

I've liked Pivetta all along. Disappointed at times, but never hated him. Duran, on the other hand...Very ballsy to be open about his depression and to come back jacked up and locked in. Impressive.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

In minor shock Turner didn’t put the ball in play

 

[Bergs]

Raffy has been awful lately.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Raffy has been awful lately.

That was smoked but your point stands.

 

[Bergs]

Beautiful play by Tristan.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

And in the end, nothing really matters

 

[RCheco56]

If Kirby starts the 6th, Devers is taking him deep

 

[E5 Yaz]

And in the end, nothing really matters

Anyone can see that

 

[Bergs]

Double farts

Profile pic checks out.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Ok, that works. Let’s get some run(s).

 

[Bergs]

Tristan needs to lift and separate right here.

Edit: no lift at all.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Casas scorched that one. Devers almost got caught there too!

 

[Obscure Name]

Trade him.

 

[strek1]

That's the way to kill it!

 

[BigSoxFan]

Why are we holding onto this guy again?
