ALWC 1: Red Sox 3, Yankees 1

Red Sox - 000 000 201 - 3 8 0 Yankees - 010 000 000 - 1 7 0 Nick Sogard sprinted from first to second base in the top of the seventh inning as Aaron Judge ho-hummed the ball back to the infield. That explosive hustle (which Sogard had shown back in the third when he tagged and took second on a fly to center) put Boston runners at second and third, with one out. Pinch-hitter Masataka Yoshida singled to center on the first pitch he saw. Two runs scored and the Yankees' 1-0 lead was gone. That ...

How did former Red Sox pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz fare in first season with Yankees organization?

With the Red Sox and Yankees set to square off in a best-of-three Wild Card series in the Bronx beginning Tuesday night, it feels like an appropriate time to revisit the noteworthy trade the two clubs made at the Winter Meetings last December. Just hours after pulling off a blockbuster five-player trade with the White … Continue reading "How did former Red Sox pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz fare in first season with Yankees organization?"

Oh about Gore

Yeah I was only doing bats. Gore is the only arm that I think deserves talking about in terms of a long-term signing. I like Lord and Ferrer but relief pitching is notoriously fickle, neither of these guys is lights out (or likely to be that) so they just feel very replaceable and not something you gamble money on keeping past age 30.  As arms go Parker and Irvin are nothing to hold on to. I mean I guess if they want to be REAL reasonable and sign for cheap so they don't have to move...&n...

Schadenfreude 364 (A Continuing Series)

Monday Texas 8, DAAAYANKEESLOSE 5 (10) Yankees Will Play Closer Role 'Night By Night' After Devin Williams' Latest Meltdown Greg Joyce, Post When the Yankees acquired two closers at the deadline, they recommitted to Devin Williams as their ninth-inning guy. Less than a week later, that job is more up for grabs. A night after Williams blew a save and gave up a run for the fifth time in his last seven outings, Aaron Boone indicated he would be more fluid with who his closer is on a give...

Schadenfreude 362 (A Continuing Series)

Since May 29, the MFY have the worst record in the AL East: 13-19. Blue Jays   21  10 Rays    19 12 Orioles  18  13 Red Sox  16 14 Yankees  13  19 They were just swept by the now-in-first-place Blue Jays, who scored 36 runs in the four games.

And he waved it  in the eminently punchable face of the pompously annoying Michael Kay...

Nashville Predators draft D Cameron Reid 21st overall

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher. Reid spent the last two seasons with the Kitchener Rangers, scoring 21 points (2G/21A) in 43 games in the first of those seasons and 54 points (14G/40A) in 67 games this year, where he was also awarded an A for the team. The scouting report at ElitePro...

Schadenfreude 361 (A Continuing Series)

The Red Sox have a 10-5 record in the month of June, with five of those 10 victories against the Yankees. June 7: Red Sox 10, MFY 7 June 8: Red Sox 11, MFY 7 June 13: Red Sox 2, MFY 1 (10) June 14: Red Sox 4, MFY 3 June 15: Red Sox 2, MFY 0 The 2-0 shutout on Father's Day turned the MFY bats into wet noodles. With subsequent losses to the Angels, 1-0 (11) and 4-0, the Yankees have not scored a run in their last 29 innings. As you can see below, that's a grand total of four runs in their last f...

Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - No Laundering Needed

My source inside the Vikings organization tell me the Vikings saved some money this week by not needing to have Sam Darnold's jersey laundered. Look, I watched a lot of Sam Darnold when he played for the Jets. I liked him coming out of college and would always tell my Giants fans friends that he would be a better quarterback than Daniel Jones. He has a strong and accurate arm when he can comfortably step into throws, When he's under pressure is when it all falls apart and the interceptions and...

Building the Nest

The Anaheim Ducks may boast the most consistent elite goalie play in NHL history. With the trade deadline past, multiple contending teams have a clear hole in net, and almost none of them filled it. Whether you want to look at how Carolina is an extremely well rounded team except goaltending, how the LA Kings haven’t won a playoff series since prime Johnathan Quick graced them, or how the Devils quite literally took themselves out of playoff contention by not addressing goaltending. Goalies ma...

5-year Marliniversary: Marlins score two in ninth to rally past Mets

Getty Images A Marlins memory from this day in 2018. Despite being one of the top perennial pitchers in baseball during his time with the New York Mets, Jacob deGrom has lost eight of his last 14 decisions against the Miami Marlins. Against Miami, deGrom also holds a sub-three ERA for his career. On this day five years ago, the right-hander was as good as advertised, but the Mets’ bullpen let him down. After being shut out for eight innings, the Marlins scored two runs in the ninth to s...

DBTB Open Thread - Week of 3/27 | Still Alive?

It might only be mathematical, but the Sabres are still in it. Once again the Buffalo Sabres have pulled back into the Eastern Conference wildcard race seemingly having corrected their slump with two straight wins beating Metro Division contenders New Jersey Devils and then their direct wildcard rivals New York Islanders . This week the schedule does get a bit softer, but as we’ve already learned, Buffalo cannot really take any opponents for granted with how they’ve been playing recently. It...

Escape from Dull Island

Wendell Cruz-USA TODAY Sports Sabres score two crucial points in a goaltender’s duel Score: Sabres 2 | Islanders 0 Shots: BUF 35 | NYI 27 Buffalo Sabres Goals: 1) Okposo (Lyubushkin) 2) Skinner (Cozens, Mittelstadt) New York Islanders Goals: … Minus 1: Goaltending - The Miracle Cure There are few things that change a hockey game like stellar goaltending. It can stifle a dominant offense and give a team a chance to steal points after being vastly outplayed. This is exactly ...

30-year Orlandoversary: Magic outlast Knicks in first-ever triple-overtime game

Photo credit should read DAVID MILLS/AFP via Getty Images For the Orlando Magic, Valentine’s Day has had its quirks over the years. In 1990, Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan was infamously forced to wear a nameless No. 12 jersey after his came up missing at Orlando Arena. On this day 30 years ago, the Magic played their first triple-overtime game. Shaquille O’Neal bounced back from a poor offensive start with several key defensive plays down the stretch as the Magic topped the New York...

Giants-Lions Wednesday injury report: OT Evan Neal back to practice; Kenny Golladay, Wan’Dale Robinson limited

Let’s look at the Giants’ initial injury list for Week 11 Rookie right tackle Evan Neal, out of the New York Giants lineup since suffering a sprained MCL Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars , took a step toward returning on Wednesday when he returned to practice. Neal was a limited participant as the Giants began preparations for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions . There is no word at this point as to Neal’s potential availability this Sunday. Wide receivers Kenny Golladay (hamst...
