Yanks shouldn't win this game and don't deserve to. Weak ground balls and strikeouts is about all they're good for--except for the occasional solo homerun. They've had multiple games this year where they could have scored a bunch of runs, but they can't hit with runners on. At. All.

I feel like Wade could have possibly turned two.

Oh well. Probably not going to get 2 runs. Our relievers are supposed to be our major strength this year. Relief pitching isn't the problem. It's their inconsistent offense and lousy defense that keeps giving out free base runners. It's been a problem most of the season.

I feel like Wade could have possibly turned two. There was at least a chance. He hesitated and got the worst of both worlds.

That's right, if they just scored 5 runs tonight instead of the 8 0r 9 they should have, that last inning would have been completely different.

When you don't care if someone can bat for average as long as they can hit home runs and walk that is what happens. Personally, given that I haed that type of baseball, I am hoping we change our philosophy when Cashman leaves. We can afford a few guys with decent batting average given our resources.

Sometimes you have to watch what's going on. I can't afford to watch it on tv. I work for the state. Try this link:

It's their inconsistent offense and lousy defense that keeps giving out free base runners. It's been a problem most of the season. Giving up that many hits is a problem in an inning regardless. I did not say it was the problem for the year. Our lack of appreciation of the value of batting average and defense has been a problem for a while. This is not new.

Now I wish we had stopped the hurt earlier. Still we have a chance.
