Make this one up in late Sept if necessary.

Or don't. On the 45th anniversary of 1978, the Sox and the MFY play 161 game seasons instead of 163. Kinda cool if you think about it.

This guy gets it

 

[mauidano]

Just call it, then I can go over to ESPN and watch Rodgers break his collarbone in his first Jets game.

This is all going according to plan. PPD and J-e-t-s; Jets, Jets, Jets.

 

[pk1627]

DH tomorrow

 

[Ale Xander]

Thursday looks fine

Tomorrow looks much better (than today) maybe something at the very end of the night

Wednesday is a little better than today but yeah you’re right they may need to move that one to Thursday

They really should move tonight to tomorrow afternoon
And then Wednesday to Thursday afternoon

1 down, 1 to go

Thanks - the MLB.TV feed kept saying there was a weather delay and nothing else.

Holy shit. lol

Figured he would hurt something. He's been getting hurt every year. Just didn't think it would happen quite THAT fast.

Weeellllllllllllllllll........

Edited the title to reflect a continuation of this thread for game one.

 

[Al Zarilla]

For us out of towners (west of Worcester) the early game may or may not be on MLBN. My DirectTV guide says no, MLB.com may be saying yes. Second game is on TBS.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good seats cheap available!

Spock's beard is at it again.

MLBN is televising the early game (Vasgersian and Costas). TBS has the nitecap.

 

[Ale Xander]

Interesting that the battle for 4th place (in-division) would be of interest to national tv.

I'm guessing that the early game is an opportunity to provide unscheduled live baseball on a Tuesday afternoon in place of some of the tired programming that probably isn't generating a whole lot of viewers at his point of the season. The latter was perhaps scheduled because everyone seems to want in on Sox vs Yanks.

 

[YTF]

I'm leaving this thread in your collective hands as I head out for my afternoon shift. I'll be checking in periodically to see if it will be necessary for me to start the Game 2 thread. Hopefully when I get out of work at 10:30 there will be a need for me to start a thread for tomorrow.

Go Baby BoSox!!!

 

[InsideTheParker]

mlbn just did a very positive feature on Pivetta, saying how he transcended the starter/reliever roles, and was very valuable to the Sox.
Then the first words out of OB's mouth were "most people probably haven't noticed how valuable Pivetta has been this year."
Anyway, hope mlbn didn't jinx him.

 

[Rovin Romine]

"NYPD" hats?

Really?

[Back Bay]

hot dog
Pivetta looking dominant

Tradition from NYC 911 Memorials.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Pivetta is dominating.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Pivetter!
Since JtB is apparently working, I see you guys are more than adequately covering the Dominance angle.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

This game is to be won by whichever players don't want to be there the least.

 

[Fishy1]

Wilyer continues to scorch the ball. Dude should absolutely be in next year's plans

 

[AB in DC]

Who's the 27th man today? I'm surprised they didn't call up a bulk guy to help fill a rotation spot and push Pivetta to Wednesday.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I had no idea Whitlock‘s brother died. Amazing that he even came back.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I think he's still dead.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Can’t hit their way out of a wet paper bag. Good thing for Pivetta, so far.

 

[AB in DC]

Pivetta making a strong case for the 2024 rotation.

 

[InsideTheParker]

This ump has a big strikezone.
The guy who scares me is up now, Stanton, but Pivetta got him again.

 

[Fishy1]

Pivetta is probably gonna end up giving up a three run homer in a inning or two, but man is he fun to watch when he's going good

Didn't he realize he had nine strikeouts.

 

[Rovin Romine]

9Ks in 4 innings. . .

 

[Sprowl]

Pivetta's stuff and location are both very strong today. His slider has improved a lot since May.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Devers!

 

[Sprowl]

Raffy go BOOM

 

[Rovin Romine]

Moonshot.

 

[derekson]

O'Brien's "he's due" schtick worked for once!

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

That should do it. I doubt any Yankee reaches second base for the rest of the game.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Raffy was heard saying it's Cole pitching, it's Cole pitching all the way up to the plate.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Well, that was fun, to see Casas score standing up.

 

[InsideTheParker]

That should do it. I doubt any Yankee reaches second base for the rest of the game.

Hmmm. Duly noted.

 

[Fishy1]

Abreu just puts together great at-bats

 

[Sprowl]

Abreu just puts together great at-bats

He does indeed. With Casas, Yoshida and Abreu in the lineup, the Red Sox can take the starter out of the game early.
