Fans complain about the media not giving us respect. They sure respect our offense, but what has it shown?

[Deleted]

No need to watch the rest of the game as we all know what will happen. Every batter will overswing, not draw a walk and try to score 3 runs on a solo homerun before popping everything up.

[bannedfan]

This is unwatchable.

[Saint]

As bad as our offense looks this postseason...man I don't know.

[koolade2]

If it keeps going this way it will be a short series.

[abregmanfan]

Not the end of the World.

It seems like this offense is somehow worse than in ‘17 or ‘18. Too many similar home run hitters. No one wants to work a pitcher and get on base. Not much watching the pitch either.

[Saint]

Logically, you have to think they'll break out of this, but how late will it be when they do?

Never fear. Take 2 (aka WoeIsMe) is leading off this inning.

And he hit the ball a whopping 3 feet, 3 inches.

So much for the vaunted home field advantage.

I kept telling you in September and August and you said they needed to have a lull well that Lull has continued for well over a month now

No it hasnt. They hit plenty in September.

Pressley's first pitch, 55 ft long, and 3 feet off the plate

[unionstation82]

Pressly, stop being behind in the count.

[Saint]

Let's see if the bullpen can keep it close...

[koolade2]

Do you think these announcers can deep throat the Yankees any more.

If I was Pressly I would pitch differently this game compared to later in the series.  Make the Yanks think you are attacking one way and switch it later on when we can actually win the game    

[Saint]

I'm going to think positive. I expect some late inning magic from the offense.

A wasted day for me but I'm with you

So what...We are not going to sweep the Yankees. We are going to beat them in 5. No big deal.

I like where your head is at.

[Saint]

It's easy to bitch, let's try to be positive. This IS a good team. They will hit.

If I was the Yanks I would take Tanaka out and use him for Game #4

10/4 Saint. One game does not define a series.

[unionstation82]

Has Pressly become as disappointing as Miley?

[koolade2]

Being Positve the offense better gets it head out of the rear. The Yankees offense is for real this year.

[Deleted]

I'm "positive" that we are in trouble

[unionstation82]

Pressly’s been figured out. Torres was supposed to strike out.

A public relations employee for the Los Angeles Angels told federal investigators he supplied oxycodone to late pitcher Tyler Skaggs and abused the drug with him for years, according to a report published Saturday by ESPN.

The outlet reported that 45-year-old Eric Kay, the Angels' director of communications since 1998, told DEA agents that he supplied Skaggs with three pills in the days before his death on July 1 in a Southlake, Texas hotel room. The report added that Kay told investigators he likely did not supply the drugs Skaggs took just before his death because the pitcher typically took the drugs as soon as he got them from Kay.

[Saint]

What a horrible f***ing luck.

[abregmanfan]

On a serious note. Can we bring in Miley? Lol
