Series Thread: ALDS: Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees

[nynasty]

Yanks just need to win tonight and put all the pressure on Price.....

I just wanna get 1 up there. Not really particular about how they get it.

 

[Indrid Cold]

My psyche still bears very deep scars. Apologies. F*cking slow motion train wreck that ALCS was.

You complain after Grady Gump hands you the 2003 series?!?!?!

That was fun, but the shitshow that was the 2003 World Series kinda put a damper on it.

Boone continues to not quite understand Hicks ain't the same hitter from the right side.

8/25 vs sale

Huh. Never would've guessed that in a million years. Highest OPS against him on the team as well. Yet he's hitting .212 against LHP overall.

Alright Booney you sly bastard.

this entire series, for the sox, hinges on game 1. sale has a sale start, we're good. sale looks like not so sale, and we have to rely on price in game 2?

I read a story this morning that his whole loss of velocity is being attributed to bad mechanics and he's since been fixed.

I'm gonna remain dubious of that until first pitch.

Regardless, just wanna get one of these next two-any way it happens is fine with me

benny had 2 HR...2...in the 2nd half. his power got sapped somehow. big concern for me.

 

[nynasty]

Just read a crazy stat-since George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973, this is the first time they've matched up in a post-season series against a team with a higher payroll.

i can tow that line based on what price did in his last start, like 70% changeups. spring training. im hoping that was the same for sale, playing around.

velocity was the lowest for his career tho.

Half of the Yankee pitchers on the roster are left handed, which I thought might be a bit of overkill for Benitendi and JBJ. Those are the only lefties in the regular line-up, right?

yeah, another concern

No matter how you slice it, it's gonna be a war to advance, like it always is with these two.

I'm off to pre-game. Good luck Rocko.

Things I learned reading a Red Sox vs Yankees thread

1 @SlinkyRedfoot wants a toothpick shoved into his dick
2 @PEOPLESCHICKEN wants Dougie back so he has someone he is smarter then
3 @nynasty is the fun fact trivia guy at the ballpark

Things I learned watching baseball today

4 Verlander owns the Indians
5 the Rockies can not score until the 9th inning or later
6 some rich dude from Denver wife does not the difference between baseball and football. C'mon man you are at a baseball playoff game sitting in the front row wearing a John Elway jersey.

 

[navamind]

Maybe Slinky should worry about his own team's pitchers first.
