So......................appears that on the days MLB Network has Yanks scheduled as their main game - we dont get an alternate game (today it could be Sox-O's so I can see Price pitch) - although when an out of town game IS scheduled for MLB Network we SEE IT even when a local game is running opposite on another network

A semi-blackout rule, I suppose.

So I will be seeing reruns of whatever on MLB while Sox play, forced to watch the LynnYanks take revenge on TX. 

OY!

The full package, by the way, rest of the year, is just 59 bucks if anyone is interested.

Gonna need somebody if Sale is not ok.

Even 4th playoff starter, if needed, is up for grabs.


- this in response to the Wright post

Sale goes Sunday.

Sox giving Cuevas a shot in tonight's night cap.

This is very odd.  I'm now both Yankguy and Yankguy1.  And "Yankguy1" ignored my latest "Yankguy" post.  Strange.  I'll stick with Yankguy1, but if push comes to shove I'll go with "Bluestateward" or "ESPN+".

You have seemed rather duplicitous of late.

1st game of twi-nighter Price with strong outing, supported by 3 dingers

5-0 win

poetic justice for 5-0 wash-out a few weeks ago.

I'm glad I don't know shit about fantasy baseball, I think I'd miss a lot of the game

10D top-10-15 in OPS and WAR  in AL

he's a way above average ballplayer.

what I've noticed over the past week is he's been doing a lot of 1st pitch swinging and just missing and popping up

Well alright.......Dave Roberts

Dodgers replacement for Jansen never got a real shot.  Alexander gives up one hit and is lifted.  Guiy that comes in surrenders 3 run walkoff bombadilla.

Heh

Alexander's line

.1 inning, 1 K, 1 hit, 1 earned run (came in on the dinger)

Good luck the rest of the way, Davey Boy.

Phillies option Zach Eflin to Triple A to make room for Justin Bour
By Jim Salisbury | NBC Sports Philadelphia August 11, 2018 8:05
SAN DIEGO — The Phillies employed a creative bit of personnel management in getting newcomer Justin Bour on the 25-man roster for Saturday night’s game against the San Diego Padres.


The Phillies did not subtract from their middle-infield bench depth and send J.P Crawford or Scott Kingery to the minors.

They optioned a member of their starting pitching rotation to the minor leagues.

And here’s the thing:

Zach Eflin won’t even miss a start. He’ll be out 10 days of big-league service time and big-league pay, but he will be able to pitch for the Phillies on Thursday and come back and make his normal start after that.

Here’s how it works: The Phillies have a doubleheader on Thursday against the Mets. They are allowed to add a 26th man from the minors for that day and it will be Eflin. After that, he will go back to the minors for the completion of his 10-day option and be eligible to return to the rotation on Aug. 22 in Washington.


Brilliant.

I presume that Sale was taken out for purely precautionary reasons, after coming off the DL.

I hope that was why!

Now I find myself hoping we don't score a fifth run, with Kimbrel coming in!

Sale was about unhittable, and had a 85 pitch limit, maybe the brain trust didn't want to push it and played it conservatively.

Let him leave with a good feeling over dominant performance.

Kimbrel's been an adventure, he was ok today, got squeezed on what should have been a strike 3 on the BB.

Sweet pitching duel right now at Wrigley

 3 hits combined through 6 vs Scherzer and Hamels.

Would be a shame if we dont get a Nats-Cubs 7-gamer this year.

Scherzer is close to "Pedro in his prime" territory.
