Jays and Rays are 0-0 bottom 2nd in Toronto. Eflin vs. Gausman in that one.

Listening to the White Sox announcers, you would think they just won the world series, because their relief pitcher struck out Judge twice... But Judge did wiff three times today...

FB down the middle at 97. Down by 5 leading off the 9th, Benintendi swings and fouls it.
Sinker 3 inches outside above the waist, Benintendi chases that one and lines it to Torres for the first out.

Down by 5 with no one on base and 1 out, DeJong chases a 97 Fb out of the zone up and in for a strike.
Then pops a slider on the low outside corner to Judge in center.
Throwing in the towel is putting it mildly.

WITH TWO OUTS AND NOBODY ON BASE DOWN 5 IN THE 9TH, Lee gets a cutter in the middle and fouls it off. Forget about throwing in the towel, the White Sox are already on the bus heading for their dinner reservation in Manhattan.
Slider about 4-5 inches inside, thigh high, rolled over to Berti, throws him out, game over.
6 pitch 1-2-3 in the 9th, all three batters swinging on the 1st pitch down by five.
Santana is the beneficiary of the Sox' white towel job in the 9th.
Yanks win yet another nice, quiet, polite beating of a game, 6-1, get to 17 over for the first time this season at 32-15, have won their 5th series in a row since the O's took 3 of 4 from them at Camden yards 16 days ago, and have won 12 of 14 since that 4th game of the O's series.
They have the best record in the league, and are just 1/2 game behind the Phillies for the best record in all of MLB.

I'm starting to think my 88 win total prediction may end up being a tad low.

As I say every so often... "Thanks for coming, nice to beat you. Beat you very much. Beat you again tomorrow, good afternoon." |

Just got home. Looks like Gil did his job.
I love the fact there's 19 pages on a Sat. afternoon game thread. Thanks to all who make the game threads so fun and interesting!

I'm starting to think my 88 win total prediction may end up being a tad low. Yeah, I had them at 87-90 too. BEFORE Cole got hurt. After, I had them at 85 wins. Knew the offense would be considerably better than last season, thanks to Soto and Verdugo, if nothing else. Had no idea Stanton would recover at least half his old game at bat. And I and stunned at how good the starting pitching has been, and at how well the bullpen has held up. Was worried about Rizzo and a bit about Volpe and Wells, but they're clicking on almost all cylinders so far. And my worry about LeMahieu has been covered by Cabrera and Berti doing OK. It's less than 1/3 of the season, but it's more impressive than even their unreal first 90 games in 2022, which was smoke and mirrors to a large extent. |
