    If it wasn't for the historic pitching the team would just be okay. The team has had a few blowouts but for the most part, the only great hitters on the club right now are Correa and Altuve. Everyone else is performing below ideal.

    Why aren't they searching Verlander for pine tar or other nefarious substances on his hands or on his person? :)

    Strip search? He might be lubing from his butthole.

    They are the 7th best offense so far.

    He’s giving it to the Yanks buttholes with no lube.

    Hence the blowout portion of the comment.

    Stros seem very feast or famine... and mostly only feasted Southside of Chicago.

    Verlander is just unreal. Too bad the offense stinks.

    Because of a few blowouts. That's skewed the numbers. The offense has been disappointing often this year though.

    If we don't win this game it will be the most disappointing loss of the year.

    Verlander dealing, opponent forced to go to their long man in the 2nd. Just an awful performance today so far.

    IT’S MAY FIRST. The offense was “disappointing” for a good portion of the first month last season as well. They’ll be fine.

    Justin Verlander has struck out all 9 hitters in the Yankees' lineup tonight.

    Yankees have gotten all the missed ball-strike calls I've noticed.

    Admittedly... haven't paid attention to every pitch.

    He's been watching too many Gattis ABs. Watch first pitch strike go by. Check swing at shitty pitch in the dirt. Either a strikeout or futile pop fly guessing on a subsequent 3rd or 4th pitch. Go sit in the dug out.

    Marwin is in a funk....Gattis flat out sucks!

    I know the date it's still frustrating to watch while it's going on. The team is not depending on elite pitching. They're depending on historic pitching right now. Just a tough watch on nights like tonight. They're not facing pitching staffs like their own early on or anything.

    Scored 5 or more in 15 games out of 30. Yep, that's textbook skewed.
