although DS got alittle big for his britches ...please sir...non of that next year if we are here

I hate to say it but pretty much what I feared and posted about came to a huge realization in the playoffs. They just don't hit with runners in scoring position, rely too much on the HR, and right now just plain forget how to hit. I never saw the last one coming though. :fp:


#getwellDerek

they haven't done anything but pitch ...quite amazing how asleep the bats are

sounds familiar

All us Phillies fans know he can't hit lefties. When they started platooning him last year he got a lot better. I (gulp) really thought they should have pinch-hit Alex Rodriguez. Maybe he was busy talking to girls.

Yanks will fend it off with CC tonight - he looks better than I've ever seen him.

Welp. I just got my game 3 World Series tickets..

Bronx Bombers

I expect the big fella to deliver tonight hopefully the bats will finally come alive time to cowboy up.

We should be up 3-0 if these guys start hitting we can still win this thing.

I don't have very high hopes, but as we know all too well, it has happened. But yeah, with the way the pitching has gone, it's unreal this series is in this situation.

Just get it back to the Bronx and see what happens.

Yep. The three pitchers we want going are lined up to finish it out.

I've tried every "Good Luck" superstition i could think of, they just wont hit. :(

Thinking about taking off the cross tonight...it would be a desperate move

Thing is i've made a point of wearing it until the end of every game, started doing that in early September and it worked out for good long while, until this series, but what if that's the test?
:crazy:

Don't change. Just believe. One game at a time. I think of it this way. Is this team cabale of whipping off four wins in a row? Absolutley they are. Hitting is contagious. I hope to see Ichiro batting lead off tonight.

Your right, gotta see this through to the end.

I'd love to see Ichiro, Gardner and even Tex (with the shift on) to lay down a bunt. Any way to get on base.

Yes. How many times does Tex get that "excuse me" infield single becasue of the shift when he bounces one down the 3rd base line by accident. If he can bunt it's probably a hit every time with that shift...as long as he can run.

Time for the team to pull out all of the stops. I don't care if they bunt...lean into pitches...whatever. They need to get on base. Jesus...it's not like they have been blown out...just normal run production and this team is up 3-0 not down 3-0. :fp:
