5/1 vs. Yankees

[Gurgi]

Santander makes me unhappy.

I can't understand why Santander suddenly stopped having his wonderful long ABs this series.

Look for movement on Holmes pitches. It really moves.

5 out save attempt. 

[Roy Firestone]

Sorry, that was a ridiculous at bat...Santander is putrid this season...Id just as soon let our kids play...what a horrible at bat...no attempt to work the pitcher...

Did no one tell Tony that the goal of pinch hitting is not to emulate the guy you're pinch hitting for?

Another pop up.

In his defense that was his first of the game.

Why not have Mateo PH and bunt instead?

They saw him try to bunt last night and decided that the experiment wasn't happening again, I suspect.

Have you seen Mateo try to bunt?  He's really bad at it.  With his speed he could be awesome, but he just isn't good at it.

You must have missed Mateo trying to bunt yesterday. He's shockingly bad at it.

[allquixotic]

Normally I'd say Holmes = game over, but making him pitch 5 outs with men on base in the 8th is a tough ask for any closer who's accustomed to pitching a clean 9th only.

If you're going to beat Holmes, this is the setup to make it happen.

They are desperate.

Because Mateo can’t bunt

[Malike]

Henderson struggling lately.

[Gurgi]

Remember what Bautista would look like sometimes trying to get multiple inning saves?  Sometimes he would just crater and blow up.  

Lets hope their guy collapses.
