    Lined out. its up to Jeter. Damn is he due. this should be an infield single by Jeter on just pure hustle. and a 7-3 score. YES! now its up to Gardner.

    Gardner better not watch pitches right down the middle here.

    Way to go Gardner. And make a complete ass of yourself on top of it. Keep watching those pitches.

    ...and THAT is why Gardner should not be considered as a lead off hitter.

    ...strikes out way too much.

    In fairness the pitch was outside but getting thrown out doesn't help.

    ...they were down 6 runs, no reason to take unnecessary chances in that situation. Could he have scored?...maybe, but Prado never even looked at 2B....ultimately, it was Prado's fault for assuming and not looking.

    ...he had already struck out twice earlier...and watched good pitches go by...the last pitch may have been outside but it was too close to take with a 2 strike count.

    He cannot continue to take pitches that are that close.

    This is just not a fun team to watch anymore. And to be honest if it weren't for Jeter I'd probably watch very little of the remaining games.
