[...] anyone’s guess as to why the Yankees’ offense is slumping (or was slumping, if you believe they broke out last night), but being out of rhythm is certainly [...]

Check out this graphic showing who’s stepping up (and who’s not) in the Yankee offensive lineup.

Oh no, it’s crazy.

Girardi manages scared as it is…….can you imagine the look on Girardi’s face if CC grounds one to the infield, then starts limping to first base??

He’d be finished. I honestly feel that Joe Girardi would not even get to see a game 4 if that happened.

Okay, okay, enough with the Yankee offensive woes. The Angels aren’t hitting either. At least the Yankees have about 10 homers, to the Angels 2.

I mean geez, if that was the Yankees who couldn’t plate a run in the bottom of the 9th last night, I’d be pulling my hair out!

“Maybe Gardner should start in place of Cabrera tonight”

Yeah, sure. Let’s start Gardner against Scott Kazmir. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll manage to foul one or two off.

Thanks. I’ll go with that explanation considering past hammie injuries we have had.

I used to say that. In general, I’d still say you’re right that you should hustle, and certainly not look like you’re giving up half way. But these guys look at their legs the wrong way and they get hamstring injuries, so when it isn’t necessary and the out seems automatic, I don’t mind them dogging it to first. As long as he’s moving and would be able to be there if there’s a bad throw. I realize there is always some scenario whereby the extra hustle will give you a base now and then, but overall, I don’t get on the players too much anymore given the injury issue. There is a hazard to going maximum exertion all the time.

Anyone else bothered by Cano’s lack of hustle after he has grounded ouy to 2nd? Seems like he slows down about 1/2 way to first. Being the palyoff’s & all, I would’nt mind seeing him run one out.

Giving credit is one thing. But come on. Man on 3rd less than 2 outs twice and Swisher cant get him in.

I dont care if its Koufac pitching. You get the run in.
