For the third and final time this week the New York Yankees
and the Boston Red Sox will make the trip to the Bronx to square off
head-to-head inside Yankee Stadium. In the finale of the three-game set each
team will send one of their best pitchers to the mound as the Yankees send
Michael Pineda to square off against David Price. Even though it was years ago
what do you think the over/under is on how long before the NESN broadcast fills
time with “Pine Tar Gate” mentioning Michael Pineda having pine tar on his palm
and neck? Two innings? Leave your thoughts below in the comments section.
Pineda has been easily one of the Yankees best starters this
season although you couldn’t tell it in his last start against the Toronto Blue
Jays. In the start Pineda allowed five runs on ten hits in five-plus innings of
work snapping a nine start streak Pineda had allowing three earned runs or
fewer. Time for a new streak.
Price will be making just his third start of the season
tonight after starting the season on the disabled list with an elbow injury.
Price was not great against the Yankees last season posting a 1-3 record with a
7.89 ERA in five starts. Meanwhile Price has been decent inside Yankee Stadium
throughout his career posting an 8-5 record with a 3.98 ERA. Which Price will
we see tonight? Who knows?
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network, ESPN, NESN if you’re behind enemy lines and
MLB TV wherever you and your device are. You can also tune in on the radio and
in your cars by giving John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman’s WFAN broadcast a
listen.
Enjoy the game, renew the rivalry and as always… Go Yankees!
