did the Sux listen in, when I said DD needs to learn how to drag bunt....?? mofo's.... to borrow a term from an ol' NYer buddy of mine. Boone's a sperm burper.... doh- I didn't say that, an old friend of mine did, used to anyways...
Voit good hit no field had torres actually hustling to cover first and never even looked there for a play. Big trouble for yanks now and greene in the game
Never say never at Fenway but looks like an early punt of game one. Tanaka will have to save their bacon tomorrow. Hopefully the bats show up.
Sale's got on his Sailing Shoes; with his patented wicked hook look... Keeping Yanx batters out in front and off guard with his changeup, Andujar and Stanton put away like misfiring hot rods with timing issues.. With a fastball from hell, a pitcher can get away with an 80 mph change of speed. Sale's approach- He bumped his slider usage nearly eight points and featuring a touch more changeups in favor of saving his fastball for deeper counts. The result was a massive 43.0% strikeout rate and 13.9% whiff rate for his four-seamer – marks rarely seen on a starter's heater. Kershaw's 94.1 mph Fastball is a thing of the past; now 90-91 mph. (tho' this much is impertinent to Yankee Fans)- CK's doing the same Sale's doing; getting hitters out with anything other than his FB. CK's outpitch is his slider these days. His loop de loop curveball was as much his undoing as an out of the park pitch...
No team can aVoit the Luke Voit Exploit.... Sale with 7 of 8 Strikeouts coming on the Slider or Changeup...
Another missed opportunity. Bases loaded nobody out and all they get is a K, ground out for a run and a ground out.
Tough 5-4 loss. The bullpen did a great job giving the batters a chance but too many missed opportunities.
Bless their little pea pickin' hearts they found a way to lose. Happ & Green were Red Sox Players of the game. Andujar got nothing done. GT & Stanton failed with the bass loaded. And to add extra spice, Stanton did his best impersonation of a ceiling fan with each at bat. Avery disappointing loss for this team.
