Red Sox/MLB ALDS - Red Sox Lead 2-1

[DKH]

Single funniest comment I’ve heard on sports radio: Scott Zolak saying he doesn’t like Brock Holt because he’s ‘a hardo’.

Talk about not knowing who you are.

I’ll give Zolak this he’s phenomenal on color and is one of best football analysts I’ve heard but he is captain of the all hardo team.

And Beedle a knock off Felger & Mazz ass hat agreeing

I was just watching the replay and he actually hit that ball pretty good. Would have been out in a lot of parks.

It was 355 ft, so definitely.

Can they please replace Angel Hernandez tonight?

Can they please replace Angel Hernandez tonight?

He is the home plate umpire and is suing MLB.

Will be lots of fun.

 

[Alicat]

Pedro ripping on Angel is perfect.

The best part was the Jesus Christ at the end of the rant

At this point screw the lawsuit. Based on his atrocious performance this series not only should he not be behind the plate but his season should be done.

I’m expecting ejections on both sides tonight for simply looking at him.

Lazy Diaz and Joe West are terrible but Angel has them both beat by a mile.

And you can't review balls and strikes. Like I said, loads of fun.

I hate it so much

Chipper Jones sums it up

Angel Hernandez to work home plate in Red Sox vs. Yankees Game 4 after 3 overturned calls Monday, Steve Pearce defends him

 

[McGarnagle]

I don't want to be paranoid, but just thinking out loud here

3 of the 4 series ended quickly, 2 of them in sweeps (hence less ad revenue and gate revenue)
NY/Boston is a ratings cash cow
A potential game 5 with Sale on the mound would get ratings and cut into the Thursday Night Football share (particularly in NY since the Giants are playing)
Angel Hernandez is the ump

I feel like Alex Cora is going to be ejected by the 5th inning tonight, Sabathia will rack up a ton of strikeouts on a questionable zone, and that the Yankees force a game 5.

I’m already getting flashbacks to the 1997 NLCS when Liván Hernández was getting calls on balls that were closer to the on deck circle than the plate.

Or 2008 when JD Drew was called out on a David Price pitch in the other batter's box

All time horrible umpiring performance. Eric Gregg (rip) was just awful.

That one to McGriff to end the game was ridiculous.

Ugh. I was listening to them this morning and everything they were saying sounded so ignorant.

Kinsler and Nunez back in the lineup tonight...because why keep the same lineup that just mashed last night.

Do not like. Leave it alone.

 

[The Garden]

Kinsler and Nunez actually have better numbers against CC Sabathia than Devers and Holt: MLB Batter vs Pitcher Matchups | Swish Analytics

There's not much of a sample size for Devers and Holt, but I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Also, that vid only has Livan's strikeouts. Unfortunately the full game isn't on Youtube, but there's this

 

[rfournier103]

Why is anything Red Sox - Yankees NEVER easy? Even when you think it’s going to be easy like last night, something is always looming around the corner.

It's not, just nice to see the offense explode.

And not that I think it should matter because I think pitchers should be able to throw to any catcher but Vazquez is in despite not catching Porcello at all this year. If Yankee pitchers can pitch to Sanchez, Porcello should be able to pitch to Vazquez.

But Kinsler and Nunez??? I understand they are right handed hitters but I don't have any confidence either one will do anything tonight. Cora better hope these moves work out/the Sox win the series.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Kinsler hit a home run off CC ten years ago so clearly it's better he start.

That home run was on a Tuesday as well so the writing is clearly on the wall.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Fully expecting an 0-8 from the two of them combined although Cora will probably come to his senses before they both get 4 ABs and pinch hit for them

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Bunt as much as possible on CC Sabathabutt
