    This is actually a big inning for us. We HAVE TO make Verlander throw at least 18-25 pitches.

    Only 9 pitches. That’s not going to cut it. Verlander is going to go 7-8 if we don’t make him throw more pitches. And with tomorrow being a BP game for Houston supposedly, it’s crucial that we make them use their bullpen tonight. Paxton is going to need a super quick, less than 10 pitch inning here.

    Good thing we put up 4 in that first inning because we now have gone back to everyone getting the ball in the air and trying to hit it out instead of it slapping the ball around the inside of the park and looking for the mistake pitch to hit out of the park. Paxton will be done after this inning, yet Verlander will still go 7. Good job hitters letting him stick around.

    Get that fucking bum off this god damn team. Christ. Put Romine in. He’s better defensively and offensively too.

    Going to go out on a limb here....but I don't think 4 runs will be enough to win this game.

    Offensively and defensively, I jumped off the Sanchise train a long time ago.

    I LOVED the fact that he told Boone wasn’t coming out. Boone really wants to blow this series.

    This team has completely stopped doing what they did in the first inning, which was working counts and not expanding the strike zone. They’re up there right now swinging at everything. It’s like it was a different team that was out there for us in the first inning and then the real Yankees team showed up.

    This is what happens when you have a manager who is afraid to hurt feelings and won’t put the best team nor lineup out there every night.

    Stanton & Sanchez: a couple of real contributors, 0-5 combined with 4 Strikeouts.

    Kahnle didn’t have his best stuff but it’s laughable that Altuve was up there ducking the zone and making the strike zone even smaller for his midget ass.

    If nobody was on and with a bigger lead I'd blast him in the knee.
