What is it about a lead that bings out the worst of the Sox starters? Carlos Beltran has to have a higher WAR for the Red Sox than the Yankees.

What is it about a lead that bings out the worst of the Sox starters? Gotta think this is more about offense than pitching. With either of these guys, if their offense knows it must score 5 to ketchup, it will then proceed to score 5. In other words, they're bored with the competition and will produce when called.

If we had more than 2 good relievers this would be a great time to bring one in...

Agree. Waking the number nine batter to lead off an inning in a 1-run game. Sheesh.

It's not Breslow, that's good.
Anyway, Masterson ends up with 3 BB to only 2 K, somewhat worrisome. The good news is he was able to keep the ball down mostly and get a 1.67 GB/FB ratio.

Like I said the other night when Hanigan was getting beat up, time for Blake. Not ideal but may happen.

Dunno didn't really look like an injury that would require a DL stint to me.
Also gotta wonder whether a good LFer could have caught that ball...

OK, great, we cost the Yankees some money, but I'd rather win this game...

No no no Sandy, if you want to block the ball you need to get down closer to the ground, not up in the air...

I hate IBBs and I would IBB Xander here if I were Girardi.

I was thinking along those same lines, mgoetze. I figured they'd at least pitch around Bogaerts to some degree. Betances got that gift (imo) first strike call and that gift swing and a miss on a breaking pitch that hung right down the middle and you knew how that AB was going to end. I just figured it'd be on a breaking pitch in the dirt.
What a frustrating loss.

Home plate umps have no business making swing/no-swing decisions, ever.

I've found that good things usually happen after I verbally lash out at the Sox. Hell, it worked earlier in this thread with everyone's negative comments about Craig. But in all seriousness, this Yankee team is going to be pretty tough to beat after the 7th inning.

@timbritton: Fractured fifth metatarsal for Hanigan. Surgery likely. Out "a substantial amount of time."

So we lost, Craig isn't getting optioned, and the Pats made another weird 2nd round pick. Guess it can only get better from here.
