I think the Yanks are better, especially if Giolito is out of commission for longer than this series. So I'm cheering for the Red Sox.

Crochet is an ace, but after that it could be Bello, ??? and pray it gets to Chapman.

Probably true. Not looking good for them then, Boston pretty much has to win this game and Fried is dominating.

Yankees are about to win their 9th straight and 12 out of 13. They look like the most unstoppable team in mlb history right now. Who's gonna stop them?

Both are scrub teams. We win either series easily.

I hope Bieber can duplicate these types of pitch count.

I will say this Boston scares me a lot in 2026 and 2027.
Pretty good team, lots of contributing youth already, and money to spend.

In a similar position to Baltimore a few years back, but they spend more.

There have been 2 out of 3 series in 2020, 2022-2024.

Teams that have won the first game are an astounding 16-4 in game 2, and have won 18 of the 20 series.

Rafaela could’ve probably gone home

Red Sox get to the bullpen and take the lead

Yoshida

Boston scores 2, one run taking advantage of Judge's arm.

Boston Red Sox - 2
New York Run Differentials - 1

Judge is a terrible fielder

Classic Yankees choke. I said they were getting swept.

Of course, crochet stays in!. This isn’t Jose Berrios out there! This is the freaking playoffs!

I don’t know who to cheer for here.

Jay's couldn't get Yoshida out either

A lot of that is out of his control. But it would be interesting to see a tabulation of all the extra bases teams have taken related to his arm in the past month. And some measurement of the impact.

How good, or not good, is DRS or OAA at measuring people taking extra based off someone's arm?

Judge almost tripped on his own feet getting that ball
