AL East 2016 thread

Sox up 12-5 after yesterday's 10-5 win. They're determined to make up for the run differential lost in Saturday night's catastrophe.

 

[Bulletz]

O's need to follow suit and put up double digits on the Dodgers tonight.

 

[navamind]

Sandy Leon is batting .500/.556/.775 (254 wRC+) on the season. 45 plate appearances, but still.

 

[navamind]

Ortiz since 2015 ASB:
.333/.418/.689, .451 wOBA, 185 wRC+, 169 hits, 56 doubles, 1 triple, 41 home runs, 131 RBI, .327 BABIP in 595 PA

(4-5) on the long road trip to salvage it.

unconventional way to do it (2-5-2)

Only lost 1 game in the standings on the brutal road trip. I am pleasantly surprised.

 

[Bulletz]

Bullpen really came through tonight. Great win.

 

[navamind]

Fuck yeah. Red Sox needed that series.

RED SOX are saved AL east beware

Red Sox acquired INF Aaron Hill and cash from the Brewers in exchange for RHP Aaron Wilkerson and 2B Wendell Rijo.

This won't solve Boston's pitching woes but Hill gives the Red Sox a solid right-handed bat. With Dustin Pedroia entrenched at second base, Hill will probably see most of his time at the hot corner. Hill's presence could mean fewer at-bats for Travis Shaw, who has struggled after getting off to a hot start. With Hill out of the mix in Milwaukee, Will Middlebrooks and Hernan Perez will likely split time at third base. Hill carries a .283 average through 254 at-bats this year with eight homers, 29 RBI and four steals.

Ubaldo...

getting tired of just muttering that word

 

[navamind]

Well, unless Ventura completely lays an egg against the Mariners tonight, Orioles starting pitchers will have the fewest IP of any team.

 

[navamind]

And right after I post that, O'Sullivan slowly shits the bed against the Rays. Karma.

And Farrell takes his sweet ass time in getting someone to warm up in the bullpen.

edit: Sox just barely make it out of that inning tied. Rays had a bunch of hard hit balls that just went foul.

 

[navamind]

Sox announcers are ripping on Farrell right now.

 

[navamind]

I think Farrell knew he was that close to getting fired.

7 in a row for the Jays








solid debut tonight for Aaron Hill. Gets his 2nd RBI in the 8th inning to give the Sox a 6-4 lead. They'll need it with Uehara pitching.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Toronto getting much needed batting practice against the Tigers' BP so far in this series

want more proof how bad a coach the yankee blipper is, .... name a player before and after Mo who was a league leader in any category?

irrelevant

 

[bksballer89]

Nice win. Would be nice to win tomorrow and enter the break taking 3 of 4 from Cleveland

 

[Pastafazul]

irrelevant??? thats BS, you don't hold your players accountable in any respect, they will not perform to their abilities, period. He so concerned about his players being rested, like he's got some crystal ball, its absurd. NOT one of these current yankees are performing to the money they make, not one! these players have performed in other places, why not here? don't get me started!!! and why is it this team plays well vs the elite and suk vs the avg. to bottom cellars. To this point, exactly what i posted was going to happen has , win some, lose more, hover around .500, then fade when the teams that are better prepared bare down.
