6/18 (was 6/17)-MFY Word Association Fathers Day

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

You might expect NESN to show a replay to discuss it, but you would be wrong.
Just at full speed, it looked like that had a shot at him at the plate.

They started to but the pitch clock rushes things and then everything started to unfold.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

When pivetta is able to keep the fastball on top of the strike zone, he's pretty useful

 

[E5 Yaz]

Not that we care, but I wonder if this is LeMahieu's slide season

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Red Sox falling behind all day but getting back in counts with some aggressive Yankees swings.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

I just don't understand why the NESN feed is so awful. I don't have problems with any other channels. NESN? Freezes up all the time on cable and streaming.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I like this Nick Pivetta.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nick has found his niche then? I'll take it.

They don't pay the squirrels enough

 

[YTF]

Is there a special person who decides what uniforms they are wearing each game or is that Cora?

I saw a few different teams sporting the City Connects jerseys this week. I'm not a fan of these, but the blue works well with the MLB Father's Day theme. That said they're not wearing the best part of the uni which IMO are the powder blue caps. Gotta wear the league sanctioned FD caps I reckon.

Gotta think he finishes this if he doesn't let the Yankees back in. That would be huge for the pen.

 

[Looch]

Interesting that Pivetta as a starter so often struggled in the first inning but seems to more comfortable attacking coming out of the pen. If he can keep it up in this role, that would be a huge asset

 

[InsideTheParker]

I LOVE MASA.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

A nice reminder of what Tom Caron's hairline looked like. Not sure what's the bigger comeback: that or the 04 ALCS.

 

[Looch]

Masa!

 

[Salem's Lot]

That was a hanger

 

[Van Everyman]

Weak contact by Yoshida all day.

You were saying?

 

[chrisfont9]

So weird. None of Yoshida's long drives look like they were crushed coming off the bat.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Wow

 

[Scoops Bolling]

Hahaha...womp womp Yankees

Might just be lower stress, not overdoing it. We know he's an intense guy.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Noice!

 

[Redkluzu]

I never see the balks but that I saw.

 

[JCizzle]

Finally calling out Yankees cheating!!

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Please do balk.

 

[Harry Hooper]

NESN, I think the 3B ump called the balk.

 

[ifmanis5]

Today is a good day. Even the outs are mashed.

 

[Rovin Romine]

Balk in a triple? Amazing.

 

[Van Everyman]

I never see the balks but that I saw.

It looked like he balked twice actually.

 

[gammoseditor]

that’s a hit if the infield is still in

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

I'm confused. I was told Cora was trying to lose this game

He's just not good at anything

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

No idea what would have happened but the balk interestingly takes away an rbi chance for arroyo. Would have had the infield in.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Lead off triple, followed by a balk. I’d love to know how many innings started like that in history.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

God Kiké sucks

Basehit!

 

[mauidano]

Is it possible to save some of these hits for the nightcap?

 

[nvalvo]

So weird. None of Yoshida's long drives look like they were crushed coming off the bat.

He has such a smooth swing that it looks low effort, but somehow the ball gets some real carry.

 

[mauidano]

Lead off triple, followed by a balk. I’d love to know how many innings started like that in history.

What...Alex Spier hasn't posted that yet?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

So did Arroyo have a free swing chance on the balk? I think if the pitch is delivered it is manager’s choice whether to take the play or the balk but I could be wrong.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Who’s next, Joba Chamberlain?

 

[Al Zarilla]

No idea what would have happened but the balk interestingly takes away an rbi chance for arroyo. Would have had the infield in.

RBI, like pitcher wins, don't count for much anymore (except to the players).

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Two of my least favorite things that broadcasters say:
He's due.
He was robbed of a hit.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Who’s next, Joba Chamberlain?

Coming out of the pen I thought it was Cortez

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

What...Alex Spier hasn't posted that yet?

That is @Brand Name territory now

 

[Al Zarilla]

Who’s next, Joba Chamberlain?

Would have to import a few million midges from Cleveland.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

RBI, like pitcher wins, don't count for much anymore (except to the players).

Well, a base runner instead of an out would have been nice.

 

[moonshotmanny]

I was in the laundry building at the resort we are at when all the runs started. Maybe I should stay here?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Beating up on the Yankees makes the season a lot more enjoyable

 

[Al Zarilla]

Well, a base runner instead of an out would have been nice.

Oh for sure.

 

[derekson]

Finally able to tune in and I'm shocked the Sox are winning in a game with Ort starting!

Did I read that he is the IL replacement for Houck with Murphy as the 27th man? That seems backwards with how Murphy looked before and his numbers look good in the box score today too.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Oh for sure.

Take the run obviously though. Still interesting that the balk puts the infielders back. Never know though. In an alternate universe it was a double play.

I still think Arroyo had a free swing on the balk. Gonna look up the rule after the game.

 

[nvalvo]

I live about 500 ft from another Great Lake, and, well, there are a few weeks each year when I could probably source that many for you just from my balcony.
