I know hitting starters hasn't always been our thing, but we need to jump all over a dude at 0-5 and a near 51/2 ERA coming into this game.

The Yankees got shut down by a guy with a near 8 ERA yesterday. They are talented young players, you never know what you'll get.

Could be worse, they could be wearing the black pants.

Maybe they’ll just be half as bad as they usually are with them on. 

[HandsomeQuack]

The pants! Still not "good" but so much better

[Moose Milligan]

Yes, can’t wait to recount the Nevin memories here. 

[OriolesMagic83]

Tell me your offense sucks w/o telling me your offense sucks.  Tyler Never leading off and playing 1B.

Nice timing.

[Tony-OH]

Is it possible for Burnes to not give up a homer in the 1st inning?

[Roy Firestone]

It seems like we always start slowly against almost everybody...unbelievable.

[Philip]

I’m glad I’m not the only guy who dislikes those ridiculous uniforms.

BTW, I think they are to blame for Lamgoliers’ home run…

[Gurgi]

Burnes has done this all season.  He always gives up a first inning run.
