vs. YANKEES, 5/03

[SteveA]

The pattern for this team is maddeningly frustrating. We always seem to beat good pitchers but always seem to struggle against players/teams who struggle. A good team doesn't do that.

And yet somehow we have the best record in the AL East since the start of the 2012 season despite these horrible tendencies.

How good would we be if we played up to our potential? We'd probably have 4 straight AL East titles!

Promising inning...we let him off the hook

Not so fast Mr. Firestone!

So, Schoop swings wildly, Flaherty at least worked the count to 3-2 before popping out to short, Rickard swings at every pitch thrown to him and barely gets on base and Machado swings at the first pitch and pops out

to first. Hmmm...

First pitch. First ******* pitch.

Yeah I know the data is better when the batters swing at the first pitch. But that was not the time to do it!

How did I know there was a 99.99999% chance that Manny would be first pitch hacking, coming out of his shoes to hit the grand slam, swinging right there? He is still 23.

If Roughned's daughter grows up and marries Bob Eater and wants to keep her name, would she be Mrs. Odor-Eater?

Justin Verlander and Kate Upton just got engaged. If he decides to take her last name the Tigers would have TWO Justin Upton's.

Patience is one of the few weaknesses in Machados game.

Machado has turned into one of the more patient hitters in the lineup. Not that the bar is set high.

Patience is one of the few weaknesses in Machados game.

He has improved tremendously. See: first AB.

[Going Underground]

Pulling balls is not a good thing.

[Moshagge3]

If the dictionary needs a new illustration for their entry for "effectively wild", I think some pictures from this game would do.

[tntoriole]

Tillman is all out of sync. Two innings in a row with a walk. Chris, this lineup is 8-15!!!! NOT Babe Ruth to be found.

The ump missed one, then ARod missed one.
