The Yanks had bases loaded no outs and couldn't score in the 7th. Red Sox scored 3 in their 7th and lead 7-3 in the 8th.

That brought me back memories of a game I attended in Camden Yards against Seattle, I think it was 1998. Jesse Orosco got out of a bases loaded no out jam, with the last out being a broken bat ground out that Orosco had to field while getting hit by the splinters, and got the out. The O's won in extra innings on a Palmeiro HR. Is there any chance anyone here remembers that game?

Did a quick search on BB-Ref, and this looks like the one.

Jose Trevino's throwing has gone down the toilet.  He allowed 9 SBs including a couple where he couldn't get a grip on the ball.

 

It looks like the NYY pitchers weren't doing him any favors but his pop time is one of the worst in the league.  With Gunnar, Westburg, Mateo, and Mullins we could do some damage on the base paths if Trevino's catching.  Wells and Trevino split time so we should get at least 1 game with him.

They said the velocity on his throws is 71mph.  That is decent high school catcher territory.

Watched this game. Holy crap, if Trevino isn't hurt, they have a glaring weakness when he's back there. Soto and Judge are who they are, but that team does not worry me much, lineup wise. If their pitching holds, makes them legit, of course, but we just introduced Zach Wheeler to reality. Really looking forward to heading into the Bronx.

Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.

Orioles don't tend to pitch around guys other than Harper yesterday.  But I agree with you this lineup is really top heavy.

It's too bad they made the three batter rule. Otherwise I would be tempted to have two openers (LH/RH) to deploy in every game of the series. Plus a LOOGY for Soto in the later innings.

That is very accurate when compared to the actual standings, but with luck it will change at the top in a couple of days

I'm curious to see if Mike Elias gets himself a seat there like last year.     The place will probably be a bit more packed this year.

Wouldn't hurt to have an opener for Suarez and Povich starts.  Not looking forward to Suarez and Pivich facing Judge and Soto a 3rd time.

Do you know something the rest of us don't know? Because according to the stats Soto kills lefties to the tune of .338/.438/.569. He is a great player (maybe the best pure hitter in MLB) and it is unlikely that any gimmick is going to consistently cause him not to succeed. Same probably goes for Judge.

You have to limit the other lesser players.
