vs. The Yankees 9/7 Fight for First

[Jonesy10]

Another embarrassing at bat by Jones. He should never be allowed to swing at anything except for fastballs, just to save him from embarrassment. And boy, Wieters is really struggling at the plate. How does he go from such a highly touted prospect to a .230 hitter. I really just hate watching him hit. Such a lazy, weak swing.

Struggling at the plate? He just hit a three homer last night.

LOL

The Pirates have made 7 errors in 6 innings

How is that even... possible? :slytf:

[J.D.]

He's also human. More human than Mariano Rivera.

We were always really good at getting to Rivera, for some reason.

Certainly can do it, but they're going to have to start scratching some base runners together.

[Jonesy10]

That was wimpy.

AJ's got three lousy ABs to go with his homer. When he swings at strikes, he's dangerous.

Too bad he only swings at strikes one at bat a game.

My gut tells me it had a lot to do with Roberts.

[Jagwar]

One pitch to Wieters. Wow.

It's not like he grounded out to 2B. He hit the ball to the warning track in CF.

[Palmoripken]

Rivera honestly is one of the few Yankees I don't hate. I actually felt bad hearing about his injury because the guy isn't a jerk like A-Rod or Tex.

Ok he had 1 hit. It doesn't change the fact that he's hitting in the .230s and his average has continuously dropped as the year has went on. He needs to be better if the O's are gonna win. Yeah, it was a huge hit, but he needs more total hits. No reason his average should be that low.

[Palmoripken]

Ok, Ayala nix Nix here.

Don't waste your time.

[weams]

Machado plays a smooth third base.

[RevOlution]

I'm really impressed with how Manny handles third. He looks very comfortable out there.

Really? No reason? How about the 1000 innings he's caught.

Plays like a vet not a guy who's been up here for a month. Can't wait to see what he has over the course of a full season.
