8/19 Beat the MFY
- Thread starter Curt S Loew
- Start date
I'll give a nod to Llovera for helping to take some pressure off the pen during this stretch of games.
Full disclosure, I had to run to Walgreens and missed that inning. I thought Crawford went 7.
I’m honestly wondering if tomorrow’s game goes like this one, does ownership clean house.
Boone with some choice quotes: ‘I don’t NOT think a turnaround is coming.
(…)
We’re sick animals in a lot of ways.’

Having a Worcester game on at 4 after a 1pm Sox game on a Saturday that I have nothing to do but watch baseball is a great thing.
Oy

Re: The IKF bunt, Kiner-Falefa said that the Yankees’ scouting report said Kutter Crawford has had issues throwing to bases. The intent was to have Crawford throw the ball away and spark a rally.

If they thought that was their best chance to get back into the game then they have bigger problems than I imagined.
such a shame.
Boone also compared themselves to Sick animals

Yes, but I think what he meant was that we try to finish off games like this with scrubs in the 8th and 9th and most of the time it turns into a save sitiuation in the blink of an eye. Not a problem today. That's how bad NY has been.
Maybe the lowest stress game I’ve been to at the Toilet. Once Urias went deep everyone knew it was over. Or I guess it was really the amazing bunt DP soon after.
Reyes is really smacking the ball, and had one of a few key early at bats that signaled the bats were locked in and that Cole didn’t have his put-away stuff. Drawing that walk put the pressure on and definitely had Cole a bit frustrated.
Devers looked pretty locked in too. I told my wife to pay attention to Devers’ at bat because he was going to hit a home run, unfortunately I was one AB early on that call.

Is Cole implying that the Red Sox are somehow stealing signs?
He’s also a goof who is totally pwned by the Red Sox and doesn’t seem willing to consider the possibility that maybe he’s actually not executing pitches as well as he thinks he is.
"I'm confused at why their execution was so high"
Yeah. Sound like he didn't think Urias had a chance at that slider.
He can't be inferring they knew what was coming. Can he?
You overlooked our 8 and 9 hitters. Should have realized we use like eleventy billion lineups.
I watched that, and I don't see him implying the Sox were stealing signs so much as he is befuddled when he "executes pitches" and they still get hit. He is sad, that's for sure.
A guy who is having a poor year at the plate hit a really good pitch righty righty against a real good pitcher. Not a thing that happens too often. But shit happens over 162 games, and for a team that is really scuffling it is bad timing.
Urias said after the game he had never had a granny, even in little league. He has actually tagged a higher number of HRs in the last couple of years than I would have guessed, but I guess never with bases loaded. He actually has about as many HRs in the last couple of years as doubles, near 50 of each. So I guess he has some power deep.
Did they ever say if anyone has ever had grand slams on back to back pitches?

Back to back pitch grand slams is being discussed over on Red Sox Forum, Luis Urias to Red Sox.
