I'm pretty sure it was Newton. I was at college and was pretty good friends with his younger brother, so Karl's shameless Yankee ballwashing stuns me.

The MFY may be a few games better than us in the standings, but I've seen them be just as brain dead as us an many occasions this year.
Announcers saying the first basemen are going for the body, not an arm on the pickoffs. I don't think they have time to pick a body part.
There's a lot less pulling of the ball by the Sox. I wonder if any of the meetings focused on doing more with less.
(Devers missed the meeting.)

Lived on Greendale, at least in the late 1990s. May have moved on up, like we did from Newton
King is much better at this than Lfsnyder but it’s probably easier when you’re not on the field
Why has catcher interference seemed to become a more frequent occurrence? Are hitters cheating the back of the batters box more or are catcher reaching out more?
I was trying to figure that out with this one, and it seemed like McGuire was way back
How can you say Rizzo's long fly, that Duran made a great play on, went against the Yankees? Like saying Walcott caught a bad break when Marciano knocked him out.
Because if it went a foot or two more toward the pen, Duran might not get it. I mean, it's not that hard to figure out what they mean
I guess Rizzo has been relatively Ratso this year, and if he'd hit that ball in some other ballparks, he's got a home run.
Maybe as part of trying to execute framing the C's are reaching out a bit more?
I think catchers are going to the ball more in an attempt to help frame the pitch for a strike. Then you have the players moving in the box depending what type of pitcher they're facing. Primarily a FB/sinker pitcher back in the box. Braking ball more forward in the box.
Bad-ass Bello. I heard Pedro say he, Bello, was ahead of him, Pedro, age for age. Wait a minute, did I hear that right? Pedro being nice probably, but Bello's got the stuff.
Well, the next year he should have forced the little twerp to watch the ALCS highlights on a loop, Clockwork Orange style.
