I think they have been feeling it for awhile, it has cost them several games at least… and it isn’t just Hader, it’s Sousa too…. They have lost two of their three best relievers. With Hader out - Sousa would have been pitching instead of Ort tonight. Good chance we at least go to extras with Sousa. Hopefully we have Sousa and Hader back by the playoffs- but yes pitching is the biggest issue IMO. I think we will hit, not sure we pitch well enough without some guys coming back and Javier or Garcia improving.
It is time to start Carantini at 1B most games. We can't have Walker the doughnut hole in our lineup, he stops rally after rally with his FB only style.... Carantini is a professional hitter and we need guys like that... DD
Man......this series was brutal and now we get the Rangers who seem to own us lately. We need Hader and Sousa back in a bad way, the back half of the bullpen is erratic at best. Its feast or famine with our hitting so unless Walker, Correa and Altuve get it going I see a sweep, the Rangers are catching fore at the right time and were in a funk. All of these guys can hit but dam when you're swinging at balls all the time your % is likely to suck...........I have no clue what this team is, but they better figure it out quick or they can book vacations early this year
...or we just say screw it regarding service time issues and start plugging in Blubaugh and Ullola in now.
Did Trammell get his bat back? If not, let's form a posse to retrieve it. This is bullshit. You don't just steal a person's bat at the Yankees' behest. The Yankees saw another late-inning collapse happening and stopped the flow of the game. Tired of this Sheriff of Nottingham bullshit from Cashman and Boone.
Trammell played for the Yanks before... I suspect Yanks think he is giving up their secrets just like Beltran before him.
You love to do the “best” song thing, like a 10th grader. It’s all opinion. Yet, you are still incorrect. The best song on that album is…..
They could Trammel a magical bat fired from the forges of Mordor and he would still barely hit over the Mendoza line
Don't care about Trammel he isn't good enough to be playing this much anyway, we need to get a solid 1-9 at the dish - to ignite the offense. Trammel would be 4th -6th in the OF.....if everyone is healthy. Also, the Christian Walker in the middle of the lineup has failed, if Alvarez had been in that spot all year he would have more than 100 RBIs already, Walker is an end of the lineup guy at this point..you can't hit .230 and be batting 4th or 5th, or you need Alvarez behind him so he gets better pitches to hit....but right now Walker is a rally stopper, so is Altuve. We have to sort out the lineup and get RBI guys in place, and guys that get on base like Pena and Meyers to get on base so they can be driven in....Walker kills that. DD
