I'm watching the Yankees and Sea Hags right now, and the Sea Hags' defense isn't even at a junior high level. Balls between legs, pop ups falling in between people, bobbled ground balls, they've done just about everything. I almost feel sorry for the pitcher, but then I remember that he's pitching for Seattle, so too bad.

ETA: Four errors all told, plus a couple of plays that were errors in all but name.

Make no mistake, not a deep fly his misread or a good play. It was a fucking outfield popup. McCann dropped his head the second he hit it. Obvious out. Fuck.

When I was on the swim team in school, they had numbered cards for the long races. Someone would lower them into the water as you approached for the turn so you'd know how many laps it was. They need something like that, apparently.

Career triple number 5.

In other words, McCann is more than twice as likely to hit a grand slam as he is to hit a triple

At this point the game would be better served if they StroPolled every pitch. Fuck, it's hard to watch.

Ball 4 to Trout has been a strike since about the 6th inning.

Ahem...Mr. Trout will inform you whether or not it's a strike on him.

In the immortal words of Brad Lidge...that was fuckin' huge!

2-out rally started by Altuve sprinting out a routine, inning-ending ground ball to SS.

I think that Pujols was literally the last person I wanted to see at bat there. And then when that ball kept carrying, I was bracing for the worst.

Had them right where we wanted them.

It was a great comeback win that showed a lot of heart. Just missed a sweep. But a great series win.

It was. And when you consider the possible distractions, even more so.
