    The only thing that can stop the Yankees winning the world series this year is injuries imo.There lineup is so stacked and you imagine they will add to it ,be interesting to see if they can grab max from Washington or even get Bungarner.Sabathia and Happ wont cut it in the postseason.

    Think its a bit early but they've certainly got a scary line up. Mind you I would still fancy the Astros to get past them in a playoff scenario.

    Oof Diaz had another mare today - giving up 5 runs on 3 hits including the walk off homer to also-former Seattle Mariner Jean Segura. Feeling more and more like Mariners won that trade.

    Certainly looks that way. Even dumping the carcass of Robinson Cano meant Seattle we’re doing well but the fact that they got 2 genuine prospects makes it look like the steal of the century.

    Going to be a million home runs in this London Series. Only 330ft to each foul pole and 385ft to centre. Throw a juiced ball into the mix and they're going to be flying out of there.

    (watch now as 0 HRs are hit)

    MLB would probably like that as high scoring back and forth game with lots of home runs as it will be more exciting for the casuals. Having been in that stadium for athletics it will be interesting to see how it looks for baseball...

    That seems to be the way things are going with baseball generally unfortunately. Manfred and co. seem quite happy with all the HRs. Not a fan of it myself.

    Yep, Cardinals and Cubs are over next year.

    Awful stuff from Boston so far. Down 6-0 in the first and still only 1 out. Porcello done already.

    It's looking like a hitters ball park alright. Homer number 1, Porcello already chased and it's still the top of the first...

    Not the best advertisement for the game if it’s over as a contest this early. Although we haven’t seen Boston bat yet I suppose.

    Don’t know if it was mentioned earlier in the broadcast but I’ve just noticed both sides are wearing their whites. Must be fairly rare.

    FFS, 6-6, they've been playing for nearly an hour and we're still in the first. Tanaka yanked now too.

    Aren't the Red Sox supposed to be the home side in this series?

    Okay this game is competitive again but we are nearly an hour in and still in the first inning :eek:

    Yeah, RS are the home team so Yankees should in theory be wearing their greys. Maybe because of the International element of the series they were allowed wear their famous pinstripes.

    Not a good spectacle at all. Game won't be over by midnight at this rate.

    I'm switching over to watch another Mets debacle instead.

    Hopefully we’ll get a more realistic game tomorrow.

    There might be some actual pitching tomorrow.. 5 hour games isn't gonna get people over here interested in the game.

    I haven't seen much of Boston these season but going ion the past 2 games, they're very sluggish on defence (not Mets bad, but bad enough).

    They've had chances to turn two double plays here already today and they were just sloppy and slow and didn't turn either.

    I have to hand it to Darren Fletcher, doing a great job of commentating on BT sports, really knows his stuff. Very interesting to hear a British commentator for baseball, one of my favourite soccer commentators so maybe I'm a bit biased.
