May 14: Yankees back in town

[LA2]

Ugh Franco needs to sit for a game or two....

[Ripken]

Shocked.  Shocked, I tell you.  Dude with horrible swing mechanics hammers a ball straight into the ground yet again.

[spiritof66]

Gee, and we had the big bats coming up, Severino and Valaika.

Remember when the bullpen was the strength of this team?

Back to all the knocks he had against him coming up.

I have always oppose the idea of getting someone can’t play defense but who hits really well, I don’t know when we get to the write -him-off point, but it’s not yet.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Promising bottom of the ninth inning that immediately went down the tubes. 

[Ripken]

...and chase another ball out the zone.  I'm nearing my end with this.

Just tuning in. Is Chapman injured? Go O's--let's walk it off!

Pitched Sunday. Tuesday and Wednesday...

 

They didn't need him.

[HowAboutThat]

Meanwhile Hyde sucks.

He doesn’t have great players to work with, but he doesn’t use them very well

[Tony-OH]

Lol, this team does find interesting ways to lose..

Which player are you talking about, it could be more than one, you know.

[Aristotelian]

DJ Stewart carrying the offense.

The funniest thing was when Holmes was being interviewed about the bullpen and he was glowing about how they prepared them so well and how the relievers are able to get the most out of their abilities. Meanwhile I'm listening to the interview thinking, "the other shoe is going to drop"  because these guys are not that good.

 

[LA2]

Frustrating loss.

Double play boy, with his 4-52 (or whatever it is).
