The biggest difference between Redsox and Yankees this year is that Boston is winning their games against Bad teams,... yup - Teams they should feast on - they are !
Example - Boston .vs Baltimore 10 and 2 - yes the O's are a terrible team and yet they are 6 and 6 against the Yankees ! Ex #2 - Tampa Bay Rays - Sox are 9 and 4 against them and again the Yanks are just 6 and 6 ,,,,, Boston .vs the Yankees you ask - Ha they have a losing record ,,,, 4 wins 5 losses,,,, with a 4 game series set for Fenway this weekend.
WTF was that
Now lets get to yesterday's game - Awful - Sonny Gray is not the same pitcher in NY as he was in Oakland. he Stunk .... game up 5 runs in 7 hits - 6 consecutive hits in the 2nd inning,, and that was pretty much the game. Gleyber Torres forgot to cover 2nd base on one play and then did not get over to cover 1st base on another ! ugh - and Shane Robinson - the Yankees right fielder if you did not know,,, caught a laser of a line drive then threw home - god knows why - Romaine had the presence of mind to get the ball to 2nd base to complete the double play. There is one you don't usually see the olde 9 - 2 - 6 double play,.... oh and Stanton whiffs with the the Bases loaded and the pitch hitter Neil Walker swings at the 1st pitch and end the 8th with a double play ground out... and Mr Stanton had not one but 2 Ground outs to the Catcher !!! TWO !
So the Yankees go to Boston 5 1/2 games out of 1st place.... Lets do some quick math:
Series Result
Bosox Sweep = Yankees 9 1/2 out - chance of winning Division pretty much over
Boston wins 3 of 4 = Yankees 7 1/2 out yea - about the same ..
They Split - Yankees = 5 1/2 out - yea - still the same
Boston loses 3 of 4 = Yankees 3 1/2 out - ok maybe a shot at the Division
Yankees Sweep = Yanks - 1 1/2 out... now we are talking - don't hold your breath for a sweep...
