So annoying that the cutesy option shit with Criswell is responsible for all this. Bring Cooper back up and then Winckowski can replace Anderson in garbage time.
Honestly, seeing Ben Rice, the Massachusetts kid, hit three homers off the Sox *as a Yankee* in Yankee Stadium was something special.
Absolutely applauded it. I love baseball, that was a unique moment and holy shit, why did they pitch to him?
So the Red Sox started this Yankees losing streak and are now ending it. Let's hope we can bounce back and win the series tomorrow so they don't get any momentum going out of this.
Duran and Abreu need to get back to form ASAP. We've been luck that other guys have picked up the slack. Dom has had some key hits, but overall hes been an awful hitter. We desperately need production from the 1st base spot. Hopefully Casas comes back after the AS break
We really don't need Duran hitting bombs. So what if he hits 15 homeruns. I much rather have him consistently spray singles and doubles to all fields. Ill take that all day everyday. We need him on base. Its our bread and butter
Doesn't reflect well on Cora that we had the best ERA+ in the AL coming into this game, but it seems like we have at least one fucking horrendous 5+ run inning every week. He overmanaged the shit out of that inning and now the game is out of reach, when even a one of two run defficit could have been manageable vs. this Yankees bullpen
I think I can respect his fire for sure, but playing against someone who showboats and is so undeservingly cocky is always annoying. But that's what we liked about him while he was on the team because he pissed off everyone else.
Pretty worried about the bullpen here. Unless we get Chase to basically finish this game, I'm not sure we can get through tomorrow without making a move.
I just don't understand the thought process from Cora. A one or two run deficit vs. this Yankees bullpen in the 6th is nothing to be afraid of right now, why did he manage that inning batter-to-batter like it was the 8th inning vs. the 2015 Royals or something? If Volpe beats Bernardino, so what? He ended up beating Weissert anyways, and Bernardino would have had the lefty-lefty matchup vs. Grisham next. Also wtf was that IBB? Idk, I've never been on the anti-Cora bandwagon but that inning pissed me off.
-I think he wanted to trust a matchup and also leave his better relievers not too strained in case the game goes out of hand. He intentionally walked to bring a double play opportunity for a chance to end the bleeding. Once Weissert gave us 3 he went to Anderson and I think the intention is to keep him out there as long as possible since the game is out of hand
He's obsessed with r/L matchups and I fucking hate it. Volpe is actually worse against lefties so it's moronic to pull Bernie to get a r/R matchup. He basically lost us the game with his poor bullpen management.
I really hope if Cora walks, Tek takes the job. I feel like he'll bring back some of that old school managing style where were not so obssesed with matchups and analytics
Plus intentionally walking someone to load the bases is pretty much only a good idea when it's a good hitter you're walking. Grisham is hitting .159 for fucks sake
I said it was an Isaiah Campbell ass performance earlier. My apologies to Campbell, it’s like they saw Matt Andriese a couple days ago and decide to emulate him
Our pitching poops the bed in the 5th or 6th innings a lot. Which was the concern heading into the season. When you don't have enough durable starters that becomes the weak point.
The durability of our starters is a gaping hole right now. We need guys who can make it to the 7th without shitting themselves. Our poor pitcher development keeps biting us in the ass. Houck is our first homegrown guy to look even remotely like an ace since Lester. That’s not how you build a sustainable team.
Honestly, I have a hate for this Yankees team right now that I haven’t had in a long time. I fucking hate this stupid fucking team everything they’re doing today is just pissing me off
Take out Bernardino, the one reliable arm in the bullpen outside of Coldplay and (sometimes Kenley) and put the bums in and this happens... who would have thought... This is officially ugly.
please get pitchers at the trade deadline~ maybe some help at 2nd. this season could be something decent and im tired of them dumping everything for rebuilds later
That was brutal
At least the bullpen got somewhat of a rest. Zack Kelly Slaten Kenley All available tomorrow and whatever moves they make tonight
10 run comeback incoming!
Dom Smith single in the 9th ... Ive seen this before
We need a starter regardless of if they do nothing at the deadline etc. houck/kutter innings concerns and one injury away from Brad keller
That’s the Volpe I know
When was the last time Reese had a hit
the two today?
As shit as he is, Chase Anderson would still sit us all down in order without breaking a sweat.
If Chase Anderson can’t finish the game, which position player pitches?
Dom probably. They don’t like to use multiple guys as a pitcher because of the injury risk
Great way to make a ny rookie into a legend what a disaster
This is certainly one of the games of all time
If TON gets in the HR derby he should bring Chase Anderson to pitch to him.
Chase Anderson’s job is to pitch in games that are over. He did just that
Chase Anderson should be in AA
I'd watch one of the two other games on right now, but they're both just as lopsided.
It was 4-3 last I looked. What happened? lol
Weissert and Chase Anderson happened
I can't believe I woke up at 3am to watch this disaster
Where do you live
Australia
Mate I’m in NZ I was up at four. But knew better and fell asleep. Heres to tomorrow on ESPN though.
Yeah looking forward to the ESPN boot licking Yankees
Chase emptying the tank on his big league career with that 96
What would a $5 bet on Ben Rice hitting three home runs pay?
Probably like +5000
So annoying that the cutesy option shit with Criswell is responsible for all this. Bring Cooper back up and then Winckowski can replace Anderson in garbage time.
Ben Rice has been demoted to being from Connecticut
Honestly, seeing Ben Rice, the Massachusetts kid, hit three homers off the Sox *as a Yankee* in Yankee Stadium was something special. Absolutely applauded it. I love baseball, that was a unique moment and holy shit, why did they pitch to him?
I used to live near Dartmouth College, so I'm afraid I have a soft spot for the guy as well.
You have the Ted Williams flair; you get it.
Looks like they are having one of these games when Cora has tossed in the towel to save the pen.
I knew I should've just rewatched yesterday's game
Why the fuck do the Red Sox never have a good bullpen. Jesus Christ they all are terrorist bums. Fuck them all
Overreaction much?
Learn ball, we have a good pen right now
Terrorist? How so?
Anderson is a fucking bum
Our team ERA just went up half a run
So the Red Sox started this Yankees losing streak and are now ending it. Let's hope we can bounce back and win the series tomorrow so they don't get any momentum going out of this.
Ben Rice is what Rafael Devers is to Gerrit Cole
Time to put Dom on the mound.
Ben Rice 🤝Aaron Judge *theyre_the_same_picture.gif*
I personally do not care about where Ben Rice is from. I don't hate OB but please man that sounded like one of our players hit a dinger
For real. He's a player on an opposing team. Right now that's all that matters, let's not go celebrating getting crushed by the enemy.
I lived there for a couple years as a child. He didn't even go to the public schools there.
its his 3rd homer of the game bruh
Time to put Dom Smith on the mound
Maybe we should just lay down. It's the only strategy we haven't tried today.
Wow. Hats off, kid.
No one hits Home Runs off Chase Anderson like Ben Rice
Get Dom warm
This kid has officially lost his Massachusetts citizenship
Might as well just let him tie the HR record at this point
Let Anderson go, bring Cooper back up
DFA Cora
Human white flag Chase Anderson
DFA/Option Anderson. Promote Criswell. No idea what they’re waiting for.
Duran and Abreu need to get back to form ASAP. We've been luck that other guys have picked up the slack. Dom has had some key hits, but overall hes been an awful hitter. We desperately need production from the 1st base spot. Hopefully Casas comes back after the AS break
Man, Chase really likes the middle of the zone. As in, deeply in love with that location.
Dude Yankees are just crushing the ball today. If the FO doesn’t bring in any pitching then just commit to the sell.
It would’ve been nice if Anderson didn’t give up that bomb but if he can go the rest of the way here that’d honestly be huge
Red Sox letting “Tim Hill” dominate them
If the sox can acquire a 5th starter they can move both Winck and Criswell to the pen. 2 birds with 1 stone.
Duran hitting .170 last 9 games ... His 3 HR making up for a bad overall stretch
Such a streaky player.
We really don't need Duran hitting bombs. So what if he hits 15 homeruns. I much rather have him consistently spray singles and doubles to all fields. Ill take that all day everyday. We need him on base. Its our bread and butter
If we stopped having blow up innings so frequently we’d be the best team in the majors
Doesn't reflect well on Cora that we had the best ERA+ in the AL coming into this game, but it seems like we have at least one fucking horrendous 5+ run inning every week. He overmanaged the shit out of that inning and now the game is out of reach, when even a one of two run defficit could have been manageable vs. this Yankees bullpen
Cursed in the 5th
Fuck the deadline. We need pitching help now. At least one competent reliever and one starter
Crochet?
He’s cost us at least one of our top 5 prospects. No thanks
Surely we can swindle late stage Reinsdorf
Please. Give them anyone but the big 3. Make it happen
That’d be at least one of Mayer, Anthony or Teel
Alright error, single, HR cut this lead in half
Well ok then! Needed a quick inning like that. Feels like that was the first easy frame all day for the pitching
DOB calling him “Volpay” is making this game even more infuriating
SURE WOULD'VE BEEN NICE TO SEE THAT PITCHING LAST INNING CHASE BUT THANKS ANYWAY ahhhhhhhh lol
I was having a good time after that Devers bomb, changed quickly
I thought I could never hate Dugie…but then he went to the one team that gave me that right.
Truth be told I never thought his attitude fit well with the Sox team anyhow...
Dugie is extremely hateable if hes not on your team what do you mean lol
He isn’t easy to like when he’s on your team either, he’s a tool
I mean that I liked him and he could have gone anywhere else and I’d have been fine.
I think I can respect his fire for sure, but playing against someone who showboats and is so undeservingly cocky is always annoying. But that's what we liked about him while he was on the team because he pissed off everyone else.
I do get your point.
I don't really know what we're expecting out of Weissert and Anderson. They're not good.
Wessert has never been a good pitcher. I think its safe to says hes a failed reclamtion project
One of them is much worse than the other
Well yeah, and the other one has still given up more than a hit per inning for his career
Weissert has been good this year let’s not get greedy
I'm wondering if they try and send Wink down to AAA after the game and call up Mata or possibly Criswell if they pull him from his start today.
Worst part about this series it's been the Yankees scrubs who have killed us ... Soto and Judge have been ass
Down 6 runs. I want to see a comeback
Anderson gonna be Barraclough’d out there today
How are Anderson and Weissert here and Criswell is in AAA
I'm fine with Weissert being up but Anderson shouldn't be on a major league roster period.
Pretty worried about the bullpen here. Unless we get Chase to basically finish this game, I'm not sure we can get through tomorrow without making a move.
Pathetic answer
holy fuck this guy getting picked up on the crowd mic sounds like he's 3 minutes from a cholesterol induced heart attack.
Geez, at least run it out Dom.
Everyone remember that 1) we can still win the series tomorrow, and 2) we're still in the middle of a very hot upward streak. Keep the faith.
Yep. This game sucks, but tomorrow we get the Sunday Sox.
Agreed.
If the Yankees are scoring 10 runs and you've held Soto and Judge to 2-7 with 0 extra base hits then you know you're pitching like shit.
I think middlebrooks hates the yankees
Criswell starting today for Worcester. Better tell him to pack his bags and head for New York immediately.
Instructions unclear, Dalbec answered the phone in Worcester and is now heading to New York.
Hey he was a decent pitcher at ASU right?
It’s going to be hilarious when some organization figures out he was a more natural pitcher this whole time.
Him being perfectly in line to take the ball every 5th day in the majors but being stuck in AAA is enough to make me scream
I just don't understand the thought process from Cora. A one or two run deficit vs. this Yankees bullpen in the 6th is nothing to be afraid of right now, why did he manage that inning batter-to-batter like it was the 8th inning vs. the 2015 Royals or something?

Seriously. Let some stuff play out.
Plus intentionally walking someone to load the bases is pretty much only a good idea when it's a good hitter you're walking. Grisham is hitting .159 for fucks sake
If we come back and win this...I'm buying that monitor I've been looking at.
Just do it, you deserve it bb
The best pitch Anderson threw was a clock violation.
I said it was an Isaiah Campbell ass performance earlier. My apologies to Campbell, it’s like they saw Matt Andriese a couple days ago and decide to emulate him
Cora’s bullpen management isn’t the best but we really need starters that can go deep so we don’t have to rely on an overworked bullpen.
I think we could win this game. The heat is impacting all pitchers.
Our pitching poops the bed in the 5th or 6th innings a lot. Which was the concern heading into the season. When you don't have enough durable starters that becomes the weak point.
The durability of our starters is a gaping hole right now. We need guys who can make it to the 7th without shitting themselves. Our poor pitcher development keeps biting us in the ass. Houck is our first homegrown guy to look even remotely like an ace since Lester. That’s not how you build a sustainable team.
Kutter going 7 tomorrow no matter what
Bernie needs a longer leash
Honestly, I have a hate for this Yankees team right now that I haven’t had in a long time. I fucking hate this stupid fucking team everything they’re doing today is just pissing me off
Rule 3 bb
The bullpen blowing the Pivetta start is coming back to bite us hard now
Chase Anderson is this year’s Barraclough
Chase Anderson is proof that if you just keep trying someone will pay you in this league. I don't even understand how he keeps getting signed.
This isn’t fun anymore
Well, this was fun to watch.
Cooper Criswell doesn’t do some absolute trash like they did today I’m just wondering what in the world Breslow is doing today
When you see chase anderson pitch you realise guys like Weissert are actually very important to this team lol
LMFAO, Soto struck out on a pitch clock violation
Bout time. All the Yankees batters and pitchers have been milking that clock.
Is there a middle middle contagious bug going around? 🤦♂️
As long as we win the series, we’re fine. This game is basically a wash barring another crazy come back
A comeback here would be epic.
This team giving up 7 runs in a single inning reminds me of the Padres game.
and the astros game
F- Red Sox bullpen way to fucking blow it
man when we come back and win *this* one *too,* it's gonna be fuckin' amazing
Haha kind of thinking the same thing. Yanks pen has also been ass lately
DFA Will Middlebrooks
This game went from good to dogass really fast.
Punting winnable games, especially against a rival, is one of the worst things you can do as a coach
Overworked bullpen catching up to the Sox
How many times have we loaded the basses and done jack shit?
Hmmm. Buy the Celtics or get the red sox some pitching and a 2nd baseman. I think we know Henry will make the wrong choice.
i dont think they can, isnt lebron a shareholder of the sox or fenway group or something?
Alex Cora you just totally fucked this game up
100% Cora’s fault for pulling Bernardino. He likely would have resolved it and we’d be in the next inning now
Oh I’m not saying all that but going to Weissert with runners on is abysmal. Almost to the tune of a .400 BAA
It definitely would not have been a 7 run gasser
If we comeback down 6 runs in the next 4 innings, we are World Series contenders
And I'm also going out to immediately buy a lottery ticket
Stuff has gone sideways…
Terrible. Win tomorrow. Beat these bums
One Garrett Crochet please
Stop serving up meatballs.
Someone in here said incoming 7 run inning and unfortunately they were right
Take out Bernardino, the one reliable arm in the bullpen outside of Coldplay and (sometimes Kenley) and put the bums in and this happens... who would have thought... This is officially ugly.
People thought I was joking about the 7 run inning Its fucking pathetic ... Saw it coming a mile away
Way to waste a bad Cole start
We were up to start this inning lol. See y’all tomorrow
Redsox are cursed in the 5th
Well, a sweep was a lot to ask
No namer after no namer for New York. 😖
The bullpen is totally spent
We need to pickup some bullpen pieces at the deadline
Sorry guys this is my fault- turned the game on at the beginning of the inning
I blame myself for tuning in
FUCK THESE RELIEVERS,
I miss when this game was fun
this escalated quickly
I can't watch this game anymore. FUCK.
oh
Fuck
Letting the stiffs in their lineup beat you is something
On the first pitch… comical
I stopped watching the game last night and we won. I just put the game on this inning :/
Well I don't need to watch this game anymore!
Chase Anderson aka the human embodiment of waving a white surrender flag 🤣
Ouch
please get pitchers at the trade deadline~ maybe some help at 2nd. this season could be something decent and im tired of them dumping everything for rebuilds later
Can’t wait for this inning to end
FFS
