Bringing the heat
By Larry Koestler On August 31, 2011 · 2 Comments · In PitchFX, Player Analysis, Statistical Analysis
Almost three weeks after suffering his fourth straight defeat against Boston, CC Sabathia delivered in kind on Tuesday night, throwing a season-high 128 pitches over six innings, striking out 10 and limiting the Red Sox to only two runs.
Following his messy August 6 start I took an in-depth look at the [...]
As we’ve been hearing for weeks on end, the Yankees have been unusually horrible against the Red Sox all season long. Tonight though, they managed to prevail, 5-2. It’s certainly a much-needed win with the uncertainty that follows CC Sabathia in the rotation – Phil Hughes and A.J. [...]
Here’s what we know so far:
The Yankees are 2-10 against the Red Sox in 2011. They are 78-42 against everyone else. The Red Sox have hit a superb .292/.375/.462 as a team against the Yankees in 2011, compared to .279/.349/.458 on the 2011 season as whole. Nearly every member of Boston’s everyday lineup has [...]
I realize this post seems highly out of place now that we’re two weeks away from when the Yanks and Sox last played and two weeks ahead of when they’ll next square off, but I’d meant to do this post in the aftermath of the last Yanks-Sox series and was away, and then Mo needed [...]
Just as Saturday’s game favored the Yankees on paper, Sunday’s game favored the Red Sox on paper. Boston was putting Josh Beckett on the mound, who is in the middle of an excellent season and has demolished the Yankees this year. The Bombers were countering with junk baller extraordinaire Freddy [...]
I hope you’ve all allocated a good chunk of your time this weekend for sports viewing. The next few days should deliver some exciting baseball as the American League’s two best teams prepare for yet another showdown. If that weren’t compelling enough, both teams are tied for first place in the division.
If you [...]
The Yankees kick off a three-gamer in Fenway Park this weekend, and while on the face of it this series isn’t any more or less important than any other, from a “we’-re 1-8 against our archrival and haven’t beaten Boston since the 8th game of the season” perspective, it’s perhaps a tad bigger of a [...]
RAB’s Hannah volunteered to write this recap, but I realized this morning that I never mentioned what time we’d need it, and as she’s on the west coast, I’m going to go ahead and toss this quickie up on the Yankees’ 8-3 loss to the Red Sox for now.
Given that I knew I [...]
The Yankees’ woes against their archrivals continued Wednesday night, as the Bombers fell to the Red Sox for the sixth straight time — and seventh in eight contests — getting blown out by a score of 11-6. A.J. Burnett was terrible, putting the Yankees in a 3-0 hole before they came to [...]
I want to preface this post by saying that I’m not a fan of the Hit-by-Pitch. Sure, I’m happy to get a free baserunner if a Yankee gets plunked, but I despise the idea that a team needs to retaliate just because one of their own was hit. Why on earth would you giftwrap [...]
