"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Great thread title and OP.

Sox are going with a pretty steady lineup: Betts, Pedroia, Bogaerts, Ortiz, Ramirez, Bradley, Shaw, Brentz, Vazquez. Plus our ace Wright, who has been way, way more consistent--amazing for a knuckleballer--than our presumptive ace Price. AJ Griffin coming off the DL will start for the reborn Washington Senators. You remember them--first in war, first in peace, and last in the American League. The current Nationals are the third Washington MLB franchise. The first one decamped for Minneapolis, and the second went to Texas. The current franchise has been successful largely, I think, because of enlightened ownership, the same thing that saved the Boston Red Sox and ended the 86 year curse/drought.
The Sox have now won two straight by identical 8-7 scores and both times with some good bullpen moves by Farrell. Against the Chisox he got a 2 inning win from closer Kimbrel, so last night he went back to Uehara, who has been very up and down this year. But the save opportunity, great control, and a splitter that was working provided some real magic--3 batters, 3 K's against a pretty fair Rangers lineup.
Even with last night's loss the Rangers have the second best record in MLB and best in the AL and are 8-2 in their last 10. They are an insane 26-12 at home.
Another win tonight would be huge, incredible, fantastic, whatever. And it's actually possible if Wright is on and Vazquez can catch him.
What control this guy has. Every pitch to betts on the edge.
That guy just struck out the side and made Betts-Pedroia-Bogaerts look bad..
Very nice first inning by Wright
Hanley is on fire
wright just makes it look easy.....
