There are some electric arms coming out of both teams' bullpens. I'm having a blast watching this game. Usually I would envy teams who were able to put gas throwers inning after inning, but our BP is also filthy now
The only hitter who legitimately looks lost to me is Zach Walters. Guys like Brantley, Santana, Gomes, Lindor etc. have been battling it out all game since I started watching.
Guys, the Indians are first in baseball in O-Swing%. That means that out of all the teams they swing at pitches outside the strikezone the least. They are also 4th in O-Contact%, which means that usually when they swing at outside pitches they tend to hit them better than other teams. The Yankees' relievers have been very good.
Most of them don't, but like o2 said there are varying levels of incompetence. Bob Davidson has been one of the worst umpires in the game for decades and is still going strong.
Dude, you're watching the game right? Mitchell has some electric stuff, they're chasing because it looks good, these are professional hitters at work, if they knew the pitch was going to end up in the dirt they wouldn't swing.
The Yankees' commentators are so calm and composed despite all that has happened in the game. I don't mean that in a bad way, it's impressive and refreshing how they aren't being complete homers about this whole thing. Hawk Harrelson would have stopped talking altogether when Miller blew the save.

Let's leave the GDT in all of its glory and move this conversation over to the other thread.
