    Jesus, guys. Are we really conceding this game already? Even with Greinke getting hit around and the offense struggling, it's still very, very early in this baseball game. Do we really need to go watch highlights from 2017 as a reminder?

    Thank you. No, not a good day for Grienke, but the Yankees are going to score more runs, period. They're going to have to win with the bats as well.

    That said, Tampa probably has the best pitching we're going to face.

    That long rest has hurt Greinke, I think. It hurt Charlie for us last year. People may forget that.

    But you've got to give your pitchers some breathing room.

    Jesus guys. Plenty of baseball left for a hell of a lineup

    You do realize Verlander gave up 36 home runs this year. Greinke...21. He’s having a **** day but he’s been a good pitcher for the Astros.

    3 2/3 innings and 5 ERs for Greinke? Even Miley could come close to that.

    Hinch not conceding this game. I thought they may let Greinke pitch more.

    Also a way to get guys some work that haven’t pitched in forever.

    This. Game. Is. Not. Over.

    Except our lineup isn't exactly lighting things up this series. They're averaging 4.5 runs this series. That wouldn't be enough to come back and win this game.

    I'm sorry I called the Greinke trade a bust. Yes, I was being emotional. We got him to make an impact in the playoffs. I'll chalk it up to him just having a bad game and maybe all the rest didn't help.

    Bad start for Grienke but the bats need to start pulling their weight too. Oh Lord...Miley warming up

    Well the upside is we know he's likely not getting the ball tomorrow to start.

    I’m not too sure you can get 3 innings out of Miley.
