Why is TA swinging at that on 3-1?

He is a swinger.he does not like to walk.  As a lead off hitter, he should take his walks when available, specially against elite pitchers like Cole.

Lineup is just so mediocre right now against RHP.  Cole was always going to be tough, but you look up and down the lineup and the lack of power is striking.

Outside of Madrigal, Leury, & Vaughn, everyone else is above league average against RHP with the bulk well above.

That’s also taking into account pre-injury Eaton. He’s much less effective now.

Yikes if Cole gets 3-4 inches off the corner then forget about it

That strike one call against Yermin was horrendous. 

DP after DP

Worst BA in baseball but 25th best OBP for Grandal...

Yankee Stadium bonus. I hate playing there, you know going in there that you will get screwed over

We are going to score 0 runs today lol

Well, this might be a pretty quick game if Cease can match Cole somehow...

Grandal has been so bad, he wasn't even close to that fastball

That’s fair and I don’t disagree about the power issue, but we’ve actually been a little bit better than I expected.

Debatable whether Odor had the bag on that DP. Really close.

Not exactly.  You have Moncada and Grandal with the short porch in RF, you have Abreu, Anderson and Yermin with some pop, and Vaughn  and Eaton once in a while.

Yaz has the same bat speed as my grandmother…0 chance against any decent pitcher. Starting to get real ugly with him, especially with his defense not being anything special either

After not challenging the Vaughn triple play, I doubt Tony is even aware of the ability to challenge 

Good. Cole got that strike. Cease should too.

Well, that wasn’t very close.  Makeup call.

#84 Cease number related to meditation and yoga...that’s different.

So not necessarily a Katz win...?

I hate human umpires. bring on the robots and/or cyborgs

Cease has grown up in front of our very eyes.

The Cease slider is on right now. Sick.

Cease’s stuff is very crisp today

Get that Texas sized lipper out of your mouth Yas, you clown.
