    Do the Yankees not realize their strike zone is expanded? I mean, at some point, they're going to have to start swinging at pitches on the edges of the zone.

    And then Cano swings at one that would be low to my son.

    Can't really do that, though. You don't want to swing at junk, and Blanton's not going to keep painting the corner (or just off the corner) like that.

    They're still better off taking those pitches. Otherwise, you'll just get swings like you saw from Cano on those first two pitches.

    Cano is absolutely terrible these playoffs.

    Yeah, but Posada is taking pitches that you really want Sabathia to get. You can't have it both ways.

    Obviously Cano is swinging at garbage like an idiot, but Posada and Teixeira are taking pitches on the borderline.

    I'd rather them take that approach. They're not going to (or aren't likely to) hit the ball hard on those pitches. Wait for a mistake.

    Now, with two strikes, yeah, expand a bit.

    Really Jorge? Ryan Howard? You need to catch the ball cleanly.

    Cano is just in a terrible funk. His regular season was no fluke. But his ABs have been awful.

    Well, they're staring dumbfounded at strike 3. I'd be with you if they weren't just standing there watching everything.

    EcKo, please stop defending Cano. He's batting like a minor leaguer.

    yeah, he didn't touch home plate. That's what happens when they're focused on the collision instead of the plate.

    If Posada caught the ball, Howard would've been out, I think. The throw beat him.
