Rivalry renewed. Now while some publications were seemingly
worried about the New York Yankees heading into Bean Town at the “worst
possible time” I was not one of them. It is generally teams like the Red Sox
that make you bring your best because you know you will have to in order to
beat them, and the Yankees will look to do that once again tonight against a
familiar foe to the Yankees faithful. The Yankees will send Masahiro Tanaka to
the mound looking for some Red Sox blood while Boston will counter with our old
friend and comrade David Price. I love beating David Price maybe more than any
other starter in the league, so make it happen.
Tanaka is coming into this start fresh off a loss to the
Baltimore Orioles where the Yankees right-hander allowed three runs in 6.1
innings of work. Tanaka won his first start of the season against the Toronto
Blue Jays allowing just one run on three hits in six innings of work and will
have to pitch like that again tonight in Fenway if he wants his second victory
of the young season.
Price on the other hand has been spectacular for the Red Sox
in his two starts this season and has yet to allow an earned run in 14 innings
of work here in 2018. That ends tonight, because the New York Yankees offense
is not on the same level as the offense Price has faced twice thus far this
season in the Tampa Bay Rays. Price has a career 15-11 record against the
Yankees in 37 starts including a 4.36 ERA, but a lot of that success came early
on in his career and not lately.
The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET inside Fenway Park and
can be seen on WPIX Channel 11 in New York and MLB Network for all those
displaced and out of the Yankees market. You can also follow along with the
game using MLB TV, the MLB At-Bat app or by tuning into the Yankees radio broadcast
with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on WFAN.
Enjoy the game, David Price sucks, and Go Yankees!!
Bring it Yankees!

DeleteYesterday was about as ugly as ugly gets, Aaron Judge excluded.
ReplyDeleteI could flood you with stats about losing the first eight against the Red Sox in 2009 and crap like that, but you're a smart one. LOL. You know it is just one game of 162. Brush yourself off and move on Yankees family.
DeleteI know...I saw one post that the Yankees should tank 2018 and prepare for 2019. It was one game out of nineteen. We could have lost 2-1 and it would have had the same impact as 14-1. The Sox didn't get extra-win credit for the victory. Today is a new day.
