Last season, Salvy played above his norm in regards to early season offensive performance. That really helped carry the team (along with BWJ, but that's a given). Considering we brought back most of the same awful cast of characters (looking at you, outfield) Salvy not being able to do that is killing this team. Not necessarily his fault, just awful to go into the season with the same shitty guys. [Reply]

Seriously, what the fuck can you do when everyone other than Witt can't hit? They are screwed. Salvy looks like he is 115 years old. The outfield is just shitty. Even if they all improved 150%, they would still be shitty. Don't see much hope here.
You'd think eventually this team would show a little pride and play the Yankees tough, especially after last year. But nah, same beatdown as always in this series.
They really just let the corpse of Carlos Carrasco 1 hit them, a new low even for this offense. Check out his stats from the last few years, I have no idea how he's still on a roster. [Reply]
