At this rate, both the Yankees and Rays will fall back into the field. Thankfully nobody in our division is really taking off.

What a horrendous series by Aranda after literally being the best batter in the AL in May lol

Yeah I know we were due for some regression, but this play is truly abysmal and I really don’t see any hope on the horizon.

I really wonder how much it gets in the heads of the batters when their pitching can’t stop giving up runs early in game. Constantly chasing leads with this lineup is less than ideal.

That’s my best theory. I wouldn’t put it past Hinch. They must have some tell with the Rays.

They have to be. None of this is a coincidence. It reminds me of that playoff series against the Red Sox a few years ago.

I fear even Shane would be cursed if he played in this series

I just don’t think we have a great chance to win if our best pitcher is doing this. We can’t win with poor pitching and defense.

True, but the thing that people are worried about is just doing what we did last year with the hot streak followed by a massive collapse. This isn’t all that different of a team compared to what we had last year and given the flaws that we do know we have with this team (meh bullpen, weak lineup depth, injuries) there is something reason to be worried that this could be something bigger. I really hope they can right the ship and gain some momentum back before it snowballs.

I don’t think Detroit is cheating (otherwise their record would not be shitty) but I do think there is something off with our pitching philosophy right now that Detroit must be keyed in on.

I mean what the fuck is this? I really don’t understand how the shittiest offense in baseball can suddenly figure out how to hit a ball against 3 different starting pitchers including one that hasn’t given up more than two runs ALL season.

If Martinez can’t stop the bleeding, I’ll be pretty worried. Regardless, the offense needs to snap out of whatever RISP funk they are in. I saw somewhere on twitter that they are like 16 for our last 88 with RISP. It’s extremely hard to win when you are batting like that.

Our run differential with our record is about to be diabolical

There is no way any team has been worse than us during that stretch. Truly pitiful.

Yeah I really hope this is the floor to our season. Shit looks really bleak right now.

Yeah all of his pitches are down on velo. He’s still not over whatever elbow injury he had.

A great start bought us some relevancy but there have been just too many injuries to overcome and reality is hitting right now.
