Zika Virus ( in the form of strikeouts ) Bites Austin and Judge.

My eyes glaze over when Tyler comes to the plate.

Last night, as a late game entry, he looked as though he wanted to be somewhere else.

He wasn't even facing Baltimore's best.  He just came up, looked, and sat down.

The sign of, " I have failed, and don't belong here."

We should have kept Ben Gamel.

Aaron, at least, might hit a mistake.

But mostly, it is a grim and pain-filled moment to watch the inevitable.

The league took about a week to figure out these two guys.

Now Texiera is a better hitter than either of them, and his high water mark this year was .206.  Headley leaves them both in the dust of his hitting prowess.

Game, set, and match for the unranked doubles team of Austin & Judge.

Out in round one.

They have to go through this. Soon, the only thing of meaning left in this season may be giving them at bats.

Meanwhile, Chris Parmelee homered AGAIN last night for Scranton...

The next Trumbo?

So why did fucking Girardi sit him down?

And Tyler Austin doesn't need to play every day? Does he, " need to sit on the bench every day?"

I like your mantra, but the people in charge are making it impossible to follow.

The game was over last night before I opened my eyes. And I liked Green......now, surgery and goodby for him.

I liked Gamel...now, crab legs and goodby.

I don't like these guys ( I do like Sanchez). I want to, but it is difficult.

I don't like Yates and I don't like Kerby. Why don't they have elbow problems?

This is really fucked up.
