Voit hit two pop flies that had about a 10% chance of being a hit and less than that for being a HR. Plus he's RH. There's no possible way that happens that many times to Price ever again (along with Andujar's popup). It's one thing if you're giving up 400 foot HR which are well deserved. But these are pop outs that are outs in every other ball park. None of these three HR were even intentional. They were so late on the swing because they were fooled. My bad. Voight is a RHB. Another bad, Voight had 3 hits off Price. He pulled a change to LF for a single, hit a FB to RF for a HR, and hit a change up to RF for a home run. You can lament the dimensions of YS to your hearts content. You can question the pitch selection. The fact remains that a 27 YO rookie got the better of David Price. Luck, maybe, but Hicks and Judge also hit bullets right at Sox defenders. Luck has a way of evening out. Price had his share of good luck in this game. I didn't see every out, so maybe there were a bunch of scalded line drives that I missed, but from what I did see there was like no hard contact against Price at all. He gave up 5 hits, 3 of which were those dinky homers. Fair to criticize him for the walks though.

As much as all our lineup is struggling right now I really feel like Benintendi is the guy the straw that stirs the drink. We need him to be at his best. He hasn't hit a homerun yet this month. I can't tell if he's injured, tired or if it's something mechanical.

I can't tell if he's injured, tired or if it's something mechanical. Agreed. Not sure what's up with him, but only a .509 OPS this month has really hurt the lineup. Was at .771 in August, one of his worst months this season (not bad by any means, but trending down). He has only walked in 1.7% of plate appearances this month, way below other months and his career averages. Maybe he's chasing (or something mechanical is up contributing to more swing and miss).

Interesting lineup. Not crazy about Vasquez catching.

Dang. Mookie hits the top of the wall. The same hit that has been leaving the park for the Yankees this series.

Holt should not be batting fifth. He saved the Yankees a run.

So is the new starter strategy to begin the game with a lead-off walk?

So is the new starter strategy to begin the game with a lead-off walk? The current iteration of McCutcheon is a gift out at the top of their line-up. As evidenced by his 1-for-6 in the series. Hopefully they will realize that in the playoff round and go after him. He has walked four times already in this series...

Not feeling great about this game if ERod has zero command of his pitches.

How bad is it when you have to hold your breath on a Fly Ball that ONLY goes 327 FEET??
Yeah, E-Rod has to get better control.
Lets score some runs tonight.

That felt like the longest inning of the season with how long Eduardo and Tanaka were taking with runners on base.

That might be one of the best Devers at-bat I've seen in a long-time

I truly believe that Devers and Swihart are guys you need to start (at least vs RHP) in the playoffs.

Tanaka's getting a totally different zone...two balls called strikes well off the plate to Vaz totally ruins his at bat
