Alvarez is awful. Only good at hitting inferior , regular season pitchers.


Like the Yankees starters?

I'm ready to see Tucker for Alvarez.
Great, so he can strike out swinging at pitches in the stratosphere instead of the ones below the zone like Yordan. Just trading one problem for another

Don't forget, Paxton has always given this lineup fits. He was always challenging when he was with Seattle. He has pitched a good game tonight. I'm not surprised.

That being said, we still have a chance. We've seen a lot of their bullpen.

I don't understand Hinch's stubborn refusal to sit Alverez. He would do just as well to just stand there with the bat on the shoulder and try to draw a walk

What batter currently on the roster do you replace him with? Who is the backup DH?

I've always thought it was strange that this "definition of insanity" is so often quoted. Nothing to do with actual insanity. Definition of stubbornness + stupidity, maybe.

This is why some of us were so pissed after the first inning. Because this offense has been our offense for the whole playoffs. Outside of Altuve and a couple swings by George on Carlos on mistake pitches over the center of the plate, we have been anemic.

Of course, I hope we break out and win. But at this point you can't EXPECT to give up 4 runs in the first, keep it at 4 runs over 8 more innings, and us also score 3-4. We just haven't done it. Against good pitching, we've been awful. And it's not bad luck if every one of Yulis swings are line drives to the middle of the outfield, it's more likely they are giving him that than he is "creaming it and getting bad luck".

Our approach at the plate just isn't good. The pitchers know what we want to do and have had no problem executing for the most part. We feed right into their plan.

Maybe Diaz? I mean, he might at least work the count.

Anyone - just to give him a mental break at the very least.

Alvarez has seen 16 pitches in 3 ABs tonight. That's not terrible.
