The nightmare season for Greg Bird continued on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old first baseman cracked the lineup for just the second time in the last six games. Luke Voit, of all people, displaced him for a little while there.
One would think that Bird would use this game as an opportunity to show the Yankees and fans what they’re missing. And he still has a chance to, as I write this in the top of the third inning. But he did not get off to a good start, making an unbelievably laughable error to start the game.
