Disappointed that CC decides to blame the umpire Angel Hernandez. I know he is historically rated as very poor and his first base performance last game was very poor but I did not see any squeezing of the strike zone in this game. Not the way I would want to go out as a Yankee (he will not be back next season).

and then Stanton. :(

Hernandez is the worst ump in baseball. That called third strike to Benintendi to end the inning with the bases loaded wasn't even close. I don't see why they don't just use K-Zone, or whatever it's called, for balls and strikes. We have the technology to overcome these challenges.
 
Would have rather had the 16-1 game be the clincher, but still, a totally satisfying end to the series. Great win for the Sox and how fun to see them celebrating at Yankee stadium?!!!
 
I remember when the days when the Sox had the better power and the Yanks had the better starters. Who won back then? It's better now.
 
Aaron Judge is an EXACT example of why you "let sleeping dogs lie". After his stunt in which he walked by the Sox locker room while playing "New York, New York", Boston outscored the Yankees 20-4 in 2 games at Yankee Stadium! Thank you very much Mr. Judge.

As someone who hasn't followed baseball for over 20 years I do appreciate some of these posts reminding me exactly why I disliked the Yankees.

No chance the Red Sox win this series and even less of a chance that NY beats Houston in the ALCS! Houston has a better lineup, by far better starting pitching, and as good of a bullpen as NY.

Your thoughts???????

One of the worst umpires in past, but was surprisingly consistent and accurate in Playoffs.

Wow. Like an old time capsule of mine. It is interesting that there seems to be some newfound interest in this historical event. Actually, I should be embarrassed since it seems the Yankees want to keep CC so I blew another forecast. :oops:

This Sox team was the dominant team from Spring Training to Game 5 of the World Series. Easily the team of the Century, and rivals the 1998 Yankees team. Team had the MVP (probably 2 of the top 3 in MVP race), multiple gold glove winners, & would have the Cy Young winner, if Sale didnt get hurt in mid-season. Beating the Yankees, Astros, Dodgers by 11-3 was probably the toughest ever road to win the Series....and the most impressive.

The fact that JD Martinez was not in the Top 3 MVP balloting is CRIMINAL! Any writer that thought Jose Ramirez(who hit .166 the last 40plus games of the season) is even close to being as valuable to a team as Martinez is, should lose their credentials immediately!

and the Yankees do not seem very serious in making a run after signing CC and Gardner to contracts. :confused:

The Yankees are going to look to add pitching(Kluber. Carrasco, Paxton, Corbin, etc) and I still think they make a run at Machado.

As a yankee fan, I have no interest in Machado (at the prices involved). With Didi out, our left side is a bit of a mess but in the long run, with Andujar, we will be ok. I just want Cashman to concentrate on top tier pitchers. We need 2.

Yankees will do what they do best - overpay for slightly above average talent. They'll probably end up with 1 or 2 of those pitchers, but none on that list scream ace or high ceiling. They'll also be bad contracts. I dont trust Corbin (NL West pitcher transitioning to AL East) and the others are past their prime or injury prone.

I think they'll also end up with Machado and/or Harper...because they have the $$ to spend. I think we're learning that any team can buy their way into the playoffs, but to win a ring, you need to spend wisely as well.

When would you have preferred that I told you were wrong? As the Red Sox won each playoff series? Next time you’re wrong, I’ll be lot more considerate and let you know right away.

I had already admitted I was wrong, like almost a MONTH ago! And I don't need anybody on here to tell me I'm wrong, my girlfriend has got that covered!
