They played terrible against bad teams last year as well. That seems to be continuing this year. This was a PATHETIC series.

Yankees blow a 5-0 first-inning lead, Red Sox come back from a 5 run deficit to beat the Rays, it's not what you want.

I will be more worried if they still look this lovely once the weather is above 40 degrees. As bad as it's been they are still a couple of bullpen meltdowns away from being 7-3.

I would be nice if Boston didn't play the 2 worst teams in baseball every game...

Being a Yankee fan who lives in Boston can suck sometimes... except for when your Girlfriend's roomate works for the Red Sox and can get you free tickets.

I'm going up to Boston later in the year and I want monster seats. Any tips other than just spending 500 bucks on StubHub?

Monster seats are tough, if only because there are so few seats up there. Honestly I have never even really tried to look into sitting up there because they are so expensive. I know they have Standing Room only tickets up there that are generally cheap though.

e: I will say this; Fenway is surprisingly a decent place to watch a baseball game. Even the right field bleachers are pretty good. If you're willing to forgo the wall there are some great places to sit around the stadium for a decent price.

Ever since the Red Sox won, no one really gets mad about baseball anymore. All of the Townie Rage is directed at anyone who dares say something mean about Tom Brady now.

I looked into it and unless you want to spend $750 for a meaningless game against a lovely team, no. You can get standing room only tickets for under $200 a piece but gently caress standing for 3+ hours.

Gary looks even worse than Stanton does... If that is even possible.

Hey guys here's some perspective from the N/V thread:

Stanton hit two rockets today that actually got him on base, hopefully this is the start of a hot streak for him because boy does he need it

Gary too, I saw that his BABIP is .036 so there's literally no way it can get worse, he'll turn it around soon

# ? Apr 11, 2018 04:54

Inspector_666: Oct 7, 2003; _{benny with the good hair}

Gary and Stanton are looking way too pull-happy. I didn't watch most of the game tonight but hopefully Stanton had a more balanced swing. Gary will come around too.

At least we know any thoughts about Judge being a one hit wonder from last season were wrong. He's flat out great.

seriously, Judge is an absolute monster. complete player, probably on the short list of the top 5 or 10 players every year. I wonder what his eventual extension looks like. If I'm the Yankees, I throw 180-200M at him after the luxury tax resets and boom, there's your captain in the 2020s

He's everything we wanted in an A-Rod without the drama.

Looks like they moved Gray up to Thursday, meaning I get to watch Gray vs. Porcello live. Hopefully I can see some cool poo poo out of Gary, Stanton and Judge. I want to see my large adult sons mash

That was a medium length fly ball. This is just a dumb stadium.

I think Paul O'Neill just insinuated he suggested the large hat sculpture outside Angels Stadium was Michael Kay's size once as a joke.

Paul O'Neill is a treasure.

can we talk about how Judge and Stanton basically held back almost every Sox player in front of them? holy poo poo why would anyone pick a fight with us ever

Joe Kelly ate poo poo when Austin got his hands on him, he was really lucky the catcher knocked him down

The bad part of this is that Joe Kelly is going to get suspended and he won't be able to blow one of the next 5 games or so.

The more clips and screencaps I see from the fight, it looks like a lot of guys are gonna get hit with suspensions.

He's such a trash pitcher that he missed Austin on the first attempt, too. Should have been tossed right after that happened.

Once hicks has his legs back and is playing center, it really is going to open things up for the yankees. The more they can alternate Stanton/Judge DH/RF the less they have to give them days off.

Also explaining the importance of getting to the ballpark early to my girlfriend is very difficult!
