I need to stop being so negative, because when I see these ridiculous comeback wins in the 7-8-9th innings, all I can think is that they can't keep this up and its unsustainable, and these will turn into losses later. I need to learn to enjoy the ride.

Enjoy the wins. There will be times when we don't come back.

I guess if some of these turn to losses it wouldn't really matter though because you don't win 17 of 18 without a bunch of luck and that pace won't keep up for the rest of the year.

alternatively, there is fundamentally no difference between runs scored in the 8th inning vs. runs scored in the 3rd inning other than how we perceive them and what pitchers they are facing.

This is what made me so mad about the "Judge is bad in the clutch and actually is a bad hitter!" hot takes last year. Dude made it so that there were no "close and late" PAs in a ton of games, I was fine with him being bad in the few spots that fell into that bucket in 2017.

Of course they can't keep this up but they are banking wins and as long as their bad runs are like 9-9's like they did in April, they will win the division easily.

Maybe the Yankees should trade for David Price... Then he wouldn't have to pitch against them.

This umpire looks like he placed a bet on the Red Sox tonight. Tons of borderline pitches (and a lot of balls) getting called strikes for ERod and not for CC.

Boone needs to get tossed from this game and possibly even get suspended for contact because this ump's zone is horseshit.

I love the rare times when we actually beat another team with BABIP garbage as opposed to falling victim to it.

I say that but, of course, there are still at least two more innings to go :ohdear:

Dellin for a 2nd inning was such a dumb dumb dumb decision by Boone. It's like he didn't learn from the last time he tried this. Why the gently caress do they have Hale and Cole on the roster if they're not going to use them?
