Pitchers have been going hard inside and soft away on these guys' date=' I can see it as plain as day. Not sure how nobody on this team is seeing it, or how our hitters simply aren't making the adjustment. But every single starter has been doing the EXACT same thing to us for over two weeks now.[/quote']

 

It sucks we aren't hitting but this is a REALLY f***ing hard game and there is no way we were going to be able to continue the rip we were on. It all evens out.

 

We will pull out of this tailspin on offense. soon I hope. Last night the ump didn't help as if we weren't in tough enough.

Just forfeit the series and don't even show up to Yankee stadium

 

 

We play like s*** everytime

 

Go ride your fixie down to the Salvation Army and have a PBR while you're at it.

Bunch of bums trying to pull. This guy will go 7 strong.

 

Believe it or not. Whitley has been pretty solid so far.

 

And he has only been a starter for a short period of time and with great success in the minors too. So that's a reason why he wasn't in any top 10 in the Yankees organization.

 

Doesn't walk batters and has a great change up.

Yeah, it's just frustrating to see a lineup this talented not be able to make adjustments over such a long period. Not that two weeks is that long, but when you're scoring two runs a game and NOT making the adjustments you need to make, it's kinda scary. If it happens now for this long of a stretch, it will happen again. I just wish somebody would tell these guys to lay off the inside fastball and sit on the soft s*** out over the plate. Instead it's weak pop up after pop up after pop up on the infield. Frustrating

Agree here. Jays have been over aggressive in hitters counts and not waiting for their pitches, but rather almost looking like they're deciding to swing ahead of time guessing that the pitcher is going to throw a meatball. When there's something borderline thrown in a hitting count, they jump on it rather than waiting. They aren't forcing the pitcher to throw anything but pitcher's pitches.

Sums it up perfectly.

Second time through the lineup, maybe we'll see a better idea here.

 

3-1 count to Reyes, swings at one borderline up and away, that should have been a take all day even if it was called a strike. It was a piss-poor pitch to try and do anything with.

 

Then two pitches later, he lets the pitcher climb the ladder on him. Weak out to LF. Just a really poor AB.
