Every time he throws a pitch inside I do a full-body cringe but I trust the hell out of him right now.

Bird's leash is longer than it should be. He's been horrifically bad. You can't be having AB's like that against terrible pitching and stay in the majors.

Greg Bird sucks too. I feel like if he isn’t hitting by the trade deadline, they need to start looking for a new first baseman.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees are in the bottom 5 at scoring after a leadoff double. At least they managed to move the runner over this time.

The fact that we've only lost 23 games this season when Sonny Gray has made 15 starts is miraculous. What a piece of poo poo.

I laughed at Kay’s comment that Gray’s throw to first on that bunt was the best pitch he’s thrown today.

I guess they were due for a slump but not being able to hit the parade of garbage pitching over the last 2 days is pretty weird.

They are avg'ing 3.6 runs a game over the last 15 games. Not including 5+ shutout innings against a garbage pitcher today. That is an offensive slump.

3.6 runs/game is how much the KC Royals have been averaging for the season. So yeah, that’s bad.

The offense has definitely been in a slump but they've managed to hit just well enough to win because the pitching has been nails.

Also this team should be able to win a game where Gray goes 6.2 IP 4 ER :argh:

The loving Rays. It seems like it's always the loving Rays.

In general they need to start hitting the ball in the air more, so many grounders that are also hit right at guys.

God drat that was a brutal at bat for Walker. Took three straight strikes right down the middle of the plate. What the gently caress was he looking for?

Maybe it will take getting embarrassed by a AAA team for them to make some of the roster moves they have been needing to make for a few weeks now.

Or maybe it won’t, because they announced today that Luis Cessa will start a game this week. I’ve never understood why they like him so much and keep giving him chances. Shreve as well has a much longer leash than he should have.

Gary with another horrific AB in a big spot vs a piece of poo poo pitcher and will put himself on the DL as a bonus!

What an embarrassment. Get Bird and Walker off this roster by Monday.
