Terrible, I hope he makes a full recovery. The Locastro era ends in glory, as he makes a fine catch… |

Yanks win. Cole gets credit for a second straight complete game victory.
Oh boy! I get to watch the replay on FOX. How sweet of them… I might just do it. Don’t have to leave for work until about 9:40 tomorrow…

I see Locastro requesting a fork again. Won’t be asking any more this year… 😢

Going to be Taillon vs Perez tomorrow. I’m starting to look forward to Taillon’s starts… It hasn’t shown up in his stats much yet, but he’s been looking better and adding length to his starts… |

3 behind the second wild card again Simply amazing with how this group has performed. If they're still around that marker come July 30th, would imagine Cashman has the green light to add. Sounds like Loaisiga could be back mid week, then the rest back vs. TB the last week of July? If we can just hang on somehow the next week and a half... |

Yesterday’s miracle win left us with a beating heart. Today, either the pulse will quicken or begin to dim. What a strange season for such a strange team… |

The White Sox are what the Yankees used to be in 2017-19, a fun emerging young group. Damn I miss those days. Maize I'm curious on your thoughts how the Red Sox could be a last place team one year and then a World Series contender the next. This is like the 3rd time they've done this at least. Yet the Yankees have more winning seasons than the Red Sox do in the last decade yet can't even make an appearance in the World Series. A few things come to mind here: 1. The ownership, Fenway Sports Group, is willing to move on from GMs and front offices even after success, see Theo, Cherington, Dombrowski. This allows a GM to make big changes, like parting ways with fan favorites Lester, Ellsbury and Betts in their prime that they preferred not to pay big. I also think being the only show in town helps them, they know unlike NYC, there isn't much else in Boston sports wise in the summer, and fenway's small confines makes for revenue to not be that big of a loss if they're a bit down. 2. They trust their internal player development and scouting, which helps ease the pain of losing players. They not only develop them properly, they stick with them through the ups and downs, which can produce last place finishes. Boagerts and Devers have had some bumps early in their careers, and now are prospering. IIRC so did Betts, JBJ and Benintendi. 3. Here's a biggie to me, they've hit on their pitching. You saw them find guys like Lackey, Eovaldi, Porcello, Price, used their farm to trade for Sale. Yankees have missed in those situations. You put some of those staffs Boston has had in 2007, 2013, 2018 with the Arod/Jeter teams, Yanks probably have a few more rings. |
