Some skills just don’t translate as the comp level goes up. This was one of those skills.

It's incredible this team got the best winning record start of Jay's tenure somehow.

I guess all of his strikeouts were elevating the play of the rest of his teammates.

No, but the other teammates strikeouts who have not been benched certainly weren’t helping matters lol.

Technically twice. We won the Tennessee game in extras after Jay pinch hit for him

Thought this thread was going to feature Matt Clark holding an Orange Easton Stealth.

I prefer not to look back at that time. It’s depressing.

A sad, cringe filled era all tigers should be deeply embarrassed by.

I got told so many times that if I thought Yorke was brought here to be a power hitter then it was my fault for having lofty expectations.

Then I posted a quote from JJ that said not only does he hit for power, he can do it without selling out. People quit responding after that
