Well, Sale all of the sudden will not pitch in Toronto. Sounds like there’s nothing to be concerned about regarding the injury, they just want to skip him for one more start.
Pomeranz, Johnson, and Porcello will start in Toronto.
Stoll very precautionary, so I’m not freaking out... yet.
Did anyone go to the show on Tuesday? Thought it was awesome. I'll gladly pay $5 for a pic of Trey doing the "hook 'em" sign. (I was too slow with my phone for some reason.)
As a Sox fan, I (almost) agree with you... the novelty of having last year's WS rematch is too rare to pass up. But maybe the time zone discrepancy and the length of games (and advertising $) makes a difference for ESPN. (Although Friday's Sox-Yanks game was 2:15... the shortest between those two since 1994!)
But most importantly, since it's David Price vs the Yankees on ESPN Sunday Night, I'm certain he's gonna get shellacked. So I don't like that.
I was late turning on the game... but fuck Luis Severino. That’s some bullshit to pull on his first pitch of the game.
(And the immediate ump show and tossing Alex Cora eight seconds later is almost just as bad.)
Well, that escalated quickly last night.
It sounds convenient to say it now, but even right after the Yanks were up 3-0 in he first, you knew it was far from over.
Severino has been struggling lately... let’s see if the bats can stay hot tonight.
Three good things:
1. Great walk-off extra innings win tonight, thanks to Blake Swihart and his 10-game hitting streak.
2. E-Rod is cleared to ramp up his rehab program. Still not throwing from a mound yet, but it's a good sign.
3. Ian Kinsler... why not? He's obviously past his prime, but he (surprisingly) still has a higer WAR this season than any other Sox position player not named Betts, Benintendi, Martinez, or Bogaerts (and he has a .859 OPS since May 28).
