    Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits - 25 hits in 500 at-bats is 50 points. There's six months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - you get a ground ball with eyes, you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week ... and you're in Yankee Stadium

    It’s actually a good thing madly didn’t get any contact there and avoided a double play.

    Diaz comes in and immediately gets our 2nd hit, Maldonado has another completely non competitive AB.

    This only applies to retroactive criticism. Everyone here pointed out it was a great lineup before the game yesterday- and it played out. And we all pointed out it was a crap lineup today - and it played out. This isn’t luck or second guessing - it’s bad decision making by the manager.

    And yes the 1-5 take blame. But playing a horrible 7-9 and putting a horrible batter 2nd lessons the odds of overcoming poor hitting by the stars.

    The managers’ job is to increase the odds of winning. He isn’t doing that.
