And why is Richards still pitching? That so called curve was quite Workman-esque He grooves so many pitches...command is deficient.

Bogaerts is reportedly playing in game 2.

Ok, here’s my deal. We go modest and acquire Cron and Bard from Colorado for people like Chavis, Wilson, Rosario, a promising AAA reliever/ closer type like Ort or Adames and a person or two from A ball Cron's away numbers are, well, Dalbecian. You may have made a substantial contribution to baseball lexicon. "Dalbecian" might someday rival Mendoza. It certainly rolls off the tongue.

When I look at the fans in the stands, there are almost no masks. That wouldn't happen here and not because of any government edicts. There's just a different psychology here. I suppose it's more a case of peer pressure, people don't want to piss off their friends and neighbors or be looked down upon. It sounds like you live in Florida where there are a lot of elderly who can catch the virus. Well anyone can catch the virus and the Delta variant is not only more transmissible but appears to cause more sickness in younger people than prior versions. Our HOA had a guy late 40s die of Covid. I am in Florida and we lead all states in new infections. So too, we lag most states in vax so there is likely a connection. I do notice more masks in grocery stores lately tho. Good sign. With regard to Bogaerts, has there been anything definitive about the nature of his injury, how it was caused or any treatment undergone?...or is this "run silent"?

Has any team had more rainouts than the Red Sox this year? It sucks. Yeah but...How is it that we have played 3 more games than the Yankees?

Can you imagine this lineup with Rizzo in there? It really HAS to happen. Todd Benzinger will play first before Anthony Rizzo for the 2021 Red Sox... Yeah, I think so since Rizzo would be a rental that would siphon from the farm and Benzinger reportedly is raking in the cage.

If we can get Beal without giving up that puts us safely in championship discussion. I know it sounds obvious, but it needs to be said. If there's even a remotely possibility of doing it, we should do it. Without including Brown. If it takes Brown then yeah thanks but no thanks. I’m not sure giving up Tatum and Brown isolation possessions for Bradley Beal isolation possessions makes you much better. And then we could add Kyrie...

“If Hal won’t fire Boone and Cashman he should sell the team.” “Boone is managing scared and has no trust in anyone.” “Boone looked shell shocked in the post game.” “Boone is merely an errand boy taking notification from Cashman.” “This is a soft, broken team, unable to adjust to the style and demands of each game.” Lol. Man this is comedy. Great. What was the source of these comments?

This offense disappears too often for how much talent they have Yankee pitching has given up 135 less hits than innings pitched. Sox are about even. Yanks can shut down good offenses. The bottom part of their lineup may be triple A now, but they are not a AAA club as some have opined.

Jeter Downs is in a terrible slump and now hitting .201 for the Woo. He appears overmatched at that level presently. Is it time to send him 'down' for a bit?

Here is what is bothering me: we lost 3 of the last 5 to an AAA team (and it would've been 4 of 5 without the historical 4 wild pitches). Thats unacceptable, and especially so since its the Yanks. Putrid. Baseball is baseball and you can't explain it. That's is why you don't see winning percentages in the 700's in baseball but you do in other sports. "You can't predict baseball, Susan"....

Says lots about Cora's view of Chavis. He's standing by his players...good esprit..maybe not good baseball.

So we hit 6 and 5 home runs in Buffalo - and barely square up a ball all night tonight. Wow - baseball is a weird game. The Yankees' pitching is good...give them credit. They shut us down.

Walks will kill you. All three runs. Will the bats wake up? And hasn't that been a problem for us all year. Tight games against good teams, it'll kill you.

The thing is, it looks like this will be the third straight loss to what amounts to the AAA Yanks. And thats unbecoming of what I assume is a team with championship aspirations. Very disappointing. Well, assuming Yanks win, it will be their fifth straight and without a top relief pitcher and two very good hitters. They are going to be tough sad to say. I would hope for a split....

Yanks playing smart baseball. Both Gardner and LeMahieu can work at bats against a guy that can lose command. Bunt was old school smart ball.

So if they're saving 500k vs EIC's projections on Mayer, then that money goes to either Jud Fabian, Payton Green or John Henry. Anyone else a possibility? They didn't draft John Henry, ha. But if they had....

You are too pessimistic. There is plenty of game to go. Hang in there.
