    Shitty game, yanks trying to make it interesting. If you weren't aware though, jeter is the fucking man. Just another 3 hit night with a walk. Unreal. He has been on a tear.

    I hate bunting, especially with the hottest hitter on the team.

    I like it but in that situation, with someone who was 3 for 3 for the game and the hottest hitter on the team, you have to let him hit.

    That made no sense. If you're going to do anything besides swing away, you can hit and run since Martin is an adequate runner for a catcher and Gardner is fast, but personally I'd swing away.

    that's not even the weirdest thing, for me it was curious why Colon avoided using his two-seam fastball. Many times, he has thrown that about 30 times, but last night it was thrown just three times.

    Pathetic. His average is garbage, his OBP is garbage. Still a productive hitter and still brings a lot of power to the lineup but certainly not the superstar they signed in 2009. Hopefully he can get his average and OBP back up next year. Certainly alarming trend in his statistic though. Frustrating year.

    Not good at all. That at bat in the 9th was as frustrating as it gets. He either pops it up, swings and misses by a mile or hits a home run. He's really got to get his shit together this offseason.

    When they signed him he was a .290/.378/.541 career hitter. 2009 was fantastic and in line with his career stats but since the beginning of last season he is a .253/.357/.494 hitter. Not what the Yanks signed up for.

    That's why I do it on the side among other reasons, I think the travel would be too much for anyone. You're in the day and age where you need four people to split the beat at least for the big papers.

    I am shocked he is almost to .300. My favorite player ever but I didn't think we would see him around .300 on the season again.
