Should be enough to power the offense......MOOKIE, needs a day off...… Go SOX, our JUG/A/NOT !!! thumb_u rofl rofl rofl rofl
I might have rested him on Friday at home vs. Tampa Bay than tonight, but hey, they keep winning.
Holt nailed stealing 2B. Wasn't even close.
Bases juiced, one out. Time to make hay.
Sweet. Moreland with a 3-run double.
Nice inning. Of course any inning where the pitcher gets walked with less than two outs, when he had no intention of even lifting the bat off his shoulder usually yields results.
Bases loaded again. Still time to make hay.
Nice work, Raffy. 3-pitch K.
Error #21 for Devers. 1st and 3rd with no outs in the 4th.
Meltdown inning. Oy.
New ball game. Let's see what the Sox are made of.
Raffy with a 3-pitch K and a costly error. Not proving his worth this game.
Might squeak another inning out of Eovaldi.
Or not. Kelly warming up.
Pearce gets an ugly RBI, but I'll take it.
Or not?
Crap.
I was a little surprised that was overturned. It looked to me like he dove off the base and was off it when he got the ball. I guess it’s possible that he dragged his foot across the base but I didn’t see it conclusively, but of course they have more and better views.
Oops, bad carom there catches JBJ off guard. That lost run might loom big now.
TB up 6-1 over the Yanks.
Dammit. Always a GIDP when you least need it.
Total bullpen fail. Hope the Rays hold their lead.
Now or never. Bases loaded, no outs.
Argh. They're going to blow this chance.
C'mon, Mookie.
There's one run in.
Benintendi does zip. Wasted chances.
Yanks lose to TB.
Eovaldi gave up 1 earned run. Had 5 K's & no walks in 5 innings. Sox had some chances but it wasn't to be. They are still 10 games up since the Yanks lost to TB. On to Friday and hopefully a better outcome.

Eovaldi did ok. I'll be glad to get Kinsler back so Nunez can go to 3B and they can sit Daffy Duck and his errors. Didn't miss him a bit when he was out.

Unless Daffy is a 35 homer, 120 RBI player he shapes up more as a liability than an asset. His fielding is pathetic and seems to be getting worse. Getting Kinsler back should help AND HE SHOULD BE INSERTED AT SECOND BASE AND LEFT ALONE. We can platoon Holt and Nunez at third base with Holt sometimes spelling Bogaerts at short, and, BTW, I'm still waiting for Xander to explode with a big hot streak. Maybe it will come on this home stand which starts Friday. Too many DP's errors and pitches hanging in the zone as Pomeranz once again showed why he should be pitching elsewhere next season. But the Yankees lost and that's one less game they have to try and overtake us so it wasn't a complete washout tonight.

Nathan deserved a better fate with better fielding and better clutch hitting tonight but it is hard to keep the pace we've set without an occasional hiccup. I will be leaving with my wife Linda Friday afternoon for New York for a Sports Travel Baseball Tour. We will see the Yanks and Blue Jays on Sunday, the Mets and Giants on Monday and the Red Sox and Indians on Wednesday, along with a trip to Cooperstown. This is the first time Linda has gone with me on a baseball trip after 18 seasons of doing it and I hope when we get back the Red Sox will still have a ten game lead.

That's very cool. I hope you have a great trip, Fred.

Daffy Duck is getting tiresome. He's also in a hitting slump and left 7 LOBsters on tonight.
The Phillies reminded the MLB that our Achilles heel still remains our pen which is worse than the numbers show.

B I N G O dat on ALL COUNTS !!! DEVERS is killing us at 3rd, the play when a throw was coming from the outfield & RAFFY was a FOOT behind the bag with an attempt with a CLUMSY TAG !! Looks lost at the plate too...…. Kelly & POMERANZ ??????? thumb_d iono iono iono
OH MY -
The Rays just beat the Yankees this afternoon (August 16th) 3 - 1.
Sox are now 10 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees in the AL EAST.
The Yankees had the bases loaded NO OUTS in the bottom of the 9th inning
and could not score a run.
YAHOOO!

That is so unlike the Yankees I've known for 70 years but it sure sounds good to me so long as we don't take our foot off the pedal. That bases loaded, no outs in the ninth sounds so much like the Red Sox, circa 2014 and 2015. Come to think of it we still did a little of that the last two years if my memory serves me right. Good to know other teams do this now and then.

Sounds like fun Fred. I'm heading up to New England myself next week. Have fun!
