Paul what's the Sox/O's ratio in the stands after the rain delay?

In games like these, I wouldn't be surprised if 90% of the O's fans left at the break and most of the Sox fans stuck it out....

I agree with that. It's overwhelmingly Sox fans at this point. There was a much louder cheer when Pedroia made that catch than when the O's scored any of their runs.

Was at the game yesterday so couldn't say whether or not the O's were getting squeezed but yes that pitch to Huff just now was a ball the whole way. Its not like the Sox need the help...

Yep and that's the main point. It's not just the bad calls, it's the helping of the best team in the league and the helping of former Cy Young winners or MVPs or All Stars. These guys are already good they don't need strikes called on balls 4 inches off the plate and balls called on pitches right down the middle.

Oh and as I'm typing this, Felix Pie guns down the runner at the plate for the 3rd out. He may have just gotten out of a lot of people's dog houses with his game today.

I don't think the team is in any great hurry to get rid of him just because a few fans are.

Thank goodness for that. He gives us so much depth out there filling in for AJ and not missing a beat.

LSD with the single, let's go Os!

      Interesting.  He was throwing 97 when I saw him pitch against the Phillies in Clearwater.

      I'm not sure about that, the OPS split is like 26 points. I wouldn't call Suarez a hard thrower, either, his fastball averages 94 mph and it hasn't ticked up in the pen.

      The Mariners face the Yankees next.  Rodriguez can heat up then.

      Yes, but he also said he hoped Hays would be ready after the off day.  So it’s unclear if Hays still isn’t ready, or if it’s just a matchup thing.  Last year Miller fared much better vs. RHB than LHB, this year, he actually has mild reverse splits so far.

      Are we actually 27-14 with the highest runs/game in the AL?

      No.

      Yankees vs. AL Central

      By rainchild908 · Posted

      Seeing @SteveA's post about the Twins' ongoing ineptitude against the Yankees got me thinking about the other AL Central teams, who it seems come up small every time they play the MFYs (save for the Tigers in the playoffs). In short: this is the rare case where perception matches reality. Since 2001 (i.e., this century), AL Central teams are 272-492 (.356) against the Yankees in the regular season, "led" by the White Sox at 60-87 (.408)—the only team to crack .400. At the other end, the Twins are 46-106 (.303)—the worst winning percentage in MLB this century by one team against an opponent in its league—and the Royals aren't much better (46-105, .305—the second-worst winning percentage). Minnesota has won the season series against the Yankees only twice this century (2001 and 2023); the Royals are even worse, having won the season series in 2014 and lost 18 of the other 21 (the teams split in 2005, 2008, and 2011). In the playoffs, Tigers teams managed by Jim Leyland are a combined 10-3 against the Yankees and have won all three series they have played (2006 ALDS, 2011 ALDS, 2012 ALCS). All other Central teams are a combined 9-25 and have lost nine of 10 series, with the lone series win coming from Cleveland in the 2007 ALDS (home of the infamous Joba bug game). Minnesota accounts for six of those series losses, with a 2-16 record (the Twins won one game each in the 2003 and 2004 Division Series). With the Yankees hosting the White Sox this weekend, we'll get a near-immediate glimpse of whether current trends will continue...
