 Here's an addition more on him as we continue. But how about Sabathia? He had thrown 70 plus pitches. Three innings had the lead. Did they take him out too early? No, because he was laboring out there. That's a hard fought 77 pitches, especially to a 38-year-old left-hander. He was laboring out there. They felt like since they have the bullpen depth, they can still steal this ball game and hold that lead. But again, that's the situation when your starter throws a lot of pitches, makes them work bad after a bat, and they'll pay it off for the Red Sox. Maybe thinking that bullpen is better than it was against these Red Sox hitters. Yeah, he had four walks. So you have the ability to go out there and the importance of this game, to go out there and use your bullpen. I think Aaron Boone had to make that choice because he was wavering. But 77 pitches, 45 strikes, not enough to show that he was refined and he could go through that lineup. This lineup for the Red Sox is very dangerous. Yeah, and the Red Sox, if you're into statement games, but is this demoralizing for the Yankees? Now the season series is five-five, but it's a six-and-a-half game gap and we're getting later in the season. We understand how important this game is for the Yankees, this first starter game, but when it comes down to it, it's Luis Severino tomorrow. Their ace is on the mound, even though he has struggled of late, he hasn't got through the sixth inning and coming off his worst start of the year. I think that's the reason why Aaron Boone made the choice he did. He relies on Luis Severino and he is their ace. It gives him confidence because he's the stopper, just added to tomorrow's importance of his game. I agree a thousand percent, but in a situation to go on the road, you need to steal a couple of games. This is a big stumble for the Yankees' locker room. They understand that, hey, this team's a lot better and it doesn't matter about the series. If you're going on right now, if you have to play against this Red Sox team, there's not a lot of confidence in that Yankee dugout right now, pull it forward. Yeah, Severino's not really pitching well. Porcello will go for Blascia, but the statement really has already been made through the course of the season by this Red Sox team. I mean, the line-up depth, you saw about a highlight sheet, everyone plays, everyone hits, you're seeing athleticism, you're seeing the life, you see from the last couple of days that Yankee's bouncing balls around defensively. The Red Sox take pride in it, not only their offensive capabilities, but their defensive capabilities as well. This is just a well-fined machine right now for the Red Sox and I think they're better. This is the matchup that I think Baseball wants to see right now, but it really has an impact of the thought process of these two clubs. Red Sox know they're the best team right now. I think the Yankees are trying to get back, plus two stars out of their lineup, they understand they have to try to at least split the series. And repeating again, the idea of one division winner and a wild card, a one-game playoff, so to speak, then you could see them match up once again. And Saturday you could see these two teams match up one of the great rivalries, and right now they're coming in as the two best records in all of Baseball. They look at the Yankees and stand against Mookie Betts had another big night in the Red Sox.
