The New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox will face off
for the final four times during the 2017 regular season tonight and into the
weekend so let’s get pumped, let’s get excited and let’s steal this division
away from them. Rivalry renewed ladies and gentleman and there’s a whole lot
riding on this four-game series. In the opener of the series the Yankees will
send CC Sabathia to the mound to square off with Eduardo Rodriguez for the Red
Sox. A battle of the lefties commences here in just a few short hours.
Sabathia has made two starts since coming off the disabled
list with right knee pain and has allowed just three runs in 13 innings of
work. This will mark the first time Sabathia has faced his former and original
team this season and the 12th time the southpaw has seen him throughout
his career.
Rodriguez on the other hand hasn’t been impressive since
coming off the disabled list posting a 0-2 record with a 5.08 ERA in eight
starts for Boston. Rodriguez has been tough inside Yankee Stadium though
throughout his career posting a career 2-1 record and 1.38 ERA in four starts
so the Bronx may be just what the doctor ordered for the man they call E-Rod.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX Channel 11, MLB Network and MLB TV. You can also follow
along in your cars and on the radio by tuning into the WFAN broadcast with John
Sterling and Suzyn Waldman. Say what you will about Mr. and Ms. Baseball and
their telecast but it always seems that no matter your opinion on them you
always miss them when they are gone. We have less than 30 games to go during
this regular season and I’m already starting to miss them if I’m being honest.
Need a win, get a win. Especially against these Boston Red Sox. Go Yankees!!!
