Looks like more bad news for the Yankees.Aroldis Chapman came in to pitch and a few pitches in, he motioned that he was hurt.No word yet on the issue but it was after he threw a pitch and appears to be arm related.The pitch he threw was way out of the zone and he immediately asked for help.

Carraso vs Johnson tomorrow. This is what I was worried about when the Dled Sale and Devers for precautionary reasons right before a big series with Cleveland. We’re most likely losing 3/4 and could get swept.

We’re most likely losing 3/4 and could get swept. Had Sale pitch his scheduled Sunday game he wound't pitch in this one. We just came up short in the two games, the opener was a crushing loss after outplaying them for 6+ inning.

It stinks that they lost tonight but the feeling of it could have been mitigated a lot if the Marlins didn't suck so much.
OMG, 1st and 3rd and no outs in the last of the 9th and they couldn't even hit the ball.
Then bases loaded and no outs in the 11th and they couldn't even get the ball out of the infield.
What a pathetic joke of a team. The Red Sox better take both games when they play there next week. I don't even care if Pomeranz is pitching. The Sox better win both. That's a minor league team right there.
The Red Sox need to not get swept. Tomorrow isn't too promising. Actually the weather isn't too promising. If they play a double header on Thursday they better split. As a ticket holder for Thursday's matinee I'm hoping the Sox win that game!
I just don't want to see the Yankees creep to within 5 or 6 games to play with a month to go. They have the crappy Orioles for 4 games (and yeah I know the O's have handled them pretty well). I'm just glad that their roster health is falling apart. Chapman being hurt would be a big blow to them. I think they could withstand it, but they're a better team with Chapman closing.

I’m at the point when I’m ready to say Thornburg isn’t happening this year. Outlet surgery is risky, and the recovery is long. He might need more time... but not in crunch time in the season. His stuff impresses me less than anyone in the pen (except maybe Pom this year). Because he gave up a 340 foot HR that was hit 91 mph? Please. Yeah I know, you don't care about exit velocity. But he was not hit hard, and that is the goal that pitchers have, since you can never guarantee results.

Greg Allen of all people has killed us all series, both offensively and defensively.

Eovaldi, Pomeranz & Thornburg's audition for the last play off roster spot aren't going very well. Go get Will Smith or Tony Watson from SF Dave

Go get Will Smith or Tony Watson from SF Dave I don't know, Eovoldi looks like he could be very good in shorter stretches out of the pen. With the way Johnson and Velazquez have pitched I like all 3 of them pitching 2 or 3 innings at a time. Probably won't happen but I like the idea of having the starters pitch 6 at the most and then these 3 coming in. Unless of course a starter is mowing them down and the pitch count is low. The fact that the Sox have 8 different guys who have started and done well could be a major strength in the playoffs.

Go get Will Smith or Tony Watson from SF Dave He can only get them if they go unclaimed by 28 other teams. I wouldn't count on that happening. Their contracts aren't big enough to make other contenders not want to put a claim in. At this point, Dave can only do so much. The time to get them was before August 1st, but the Giants didn't want to sell then. They have a better shot at Herrera because he makes more money but it's hard to see him slip to the Sox. Doubt the Yankees wouldn't block him if he even got that far.

Will the angst(less) season begin producing angst among the members? When the going gets tough, will the members get going (on to other things)? When the noose tightens, will the members lose the grip?
Stay tuned.... answers to these questions and more will be given over the next few weeks/months !!!!!

Sigh... our Carmines lose a couple in a row against a very good team, and the calls surface for a Dombrowski knee jerk move. Let’s chill. The roster is getting healthy, and things should be pretty well lined up by mid-to-late September. The bullpen has the potential to be devastatingly effective in a playoff setting, as guys like Price and/or Eovaldi will be able to let it loose for 2-3 innings at a time.
Let’s win today.

Price isn't going to the pen & I doubt Eovaldi makes the playoff roster. That’s interesting. I have no position, and I’m curious how the roster shakes out that Eovaldi gets dropped. For example, as good as Velasquez gas been as a swing man, is he — or Johnson for that matter (though he is lefty so maybe not) as valuable in a short series than Eovaldi? Just wonder what people think.

Unless Eovoldi unravels over the next month I can't see him not making the playoff roster. I have said from the time they traded for him he could be big out of the pen come playoff time. Question is can he dial it up effectively over 2 innings.

We got to see a few things from the first one - Cora's decision to leave Porcello in was interesting, and we had trouble coming up with the big hit. Last night was just not a pretty game to watch, yet we were two great catches (by them) away from making it really interesting. We are playing with house money for a bit - looking forward to tonight's game (of course)

I don't think Eovaldi makes the playoff roster because I think the Pitching staff roster will be; Sale, Porcello, Price, E. Rod Kimbrel, Barnes, Hembree, Braisier, Kelly, Thornburg, Velázquez, Johnson

Rod Kimbrel, Barnes, Hembree, Braisier, Kelly, Thornburg, Velázquez, Johnson Velazquez recently went 10 days between appearances. That's not someone taking a roster spot away from Eovaldi. I doubt Johnson is either. Eovaldi would pretty much instantly be in an Aaron Miller role pitching multiple innings after a struggling starter gets pulled in the playoffs.

Johnson might be a different category as the only lefty reliever in the bunch. That said, I’m not sure he is a traditional LOOGy. I think in a short series Velasquez is redundant if you keep Johnson, and Thornburg is redundant if you keep Hembree. This also taling into account that by games 5-7, you are likely going to starters ahead of some of these guys. Not so sure about Kelly or Brasier. Have to see how Eovaldi would do out of the pen.
