Tall order for the Yanks today trying to hit Skubal in near freezing temps.


Would be swell if they could avoid getting picked off 3B with the best hitter on the planet at the plate also. Mmkay?

Hands always stung trying to hit in cold weather, huge advantage for pitchers……

That whole play was beautiful. Laser beam throw to be sure, but quite the catch/tag by Bregman also

 

[nynasty]

First 2 hitters single, Skubal has retired 12 in a row since.

Sigh

 

[nynasty]

That's probably gonna do it

The back to back to back of Warren, bum ass Rosen, and Carrasco going to be for a lot of losing streaks

Carrasco's fine for a spot start and long relief. Not an optimal situation when he's your #3

Tigers don't seem to mind the cold lol

We’ve discussed this previously, but this has to be among the best defensive outfields the Sox have ever had. All 3 guys have a legit shot at a gold glove. Look at this catch by Rafaela with a 5% chance:

It sort of reminded me of this classic throw by the immortal Bo Jackson. But then I rewatched the Bo throw and Abreu isn’t even on the same level at all:

Wells-C
Judge-RF
Bellinger-CF
Goldschmidt-1B
Chisholm, JR-2B
Dominguez- LF
Volpe- SS
Rice- DH
Cabrera- 3B
Rodon-P



Hard to believe, but this is the first time in their 122 year history the Yankees have had their catcher leading off.

Is it just me, or did Wells only lead off on Opening Day and not since?

If Rodon wasnt so awful at his job when you consider his pay then the rotation wouldn’t look so bad on paper once Clarke is back in a week or soon. Rodon getting paid to be a top 2 rotation guy while performing like a 4 or 5. Not ideal

LOL he was fucking superhuman

I think he led off game 2, took an ofer, and that was that.

Our brains can't comprehend the detailed analysis Aaron Boone puts into each and every lineup decision.

I couldn't even type that with a straight face LOL

Goldy been really good at the top of the order. I know we all dislike boone but that decision been fine

I was mistaken. Opening day was his only day leading off

How about that White Sox outfield of Bo Jackson, Ellis Burks and Tim Raines? That’s a pretty decent group of athletes there. LOL.

He has 50% of their hits today!
