    Stupid announcer is saying the throw to 1b was too high. It wasn't. It was to the left side of the bag, which made it hard for Moreland to make a quick tag.

    Sure is. JBJ only got two rbi's off the triple. If he had batted lead off, he would have had none. But thanks for your insights.

    Meh. He did say that he had to reach across his body.

    What hindsight? I have no complaints about JBJ batting 9th these days. He does not flourish way up in the order. 6th or 7th might be best for him if he is back on a groove.

    You could be right. Only noticed on the closed captions and rarely check them.

    Porcello does not have great stuff, but can be effective when he is hitting his spots and mixing his pitches. I think he is trying emulate Sale in pitching more quickly.

    Porcello already at 54 pitches. Hope they can score more runs.

    I apologize if I implied that JBJ and Holt should switch places in the lineup, I only meant that Holt shouldn't lead off and JBJ shouldn't bat 9th.

    using a 1 at bat sample size is a poor anecdotal remedy to say otherwise.

    Salty called that right about Devers. Kids aren't suppose to be selective.

    Devers being shown some respect. One of only two guys to homer in three straight games vs. the Yankees while 20 or younger. The other one was Babe Ruth. Pretty cool.

    - From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.
