Tek can't buy a break.

If by "can't buy a break" you mean "can't stop swinging at pitches that are almost over his head", then I agree.
And I think the thing that frustrates me the most about Tek's ABs is that he is a catcher and should be smarter and have some idea about how they are going to try to get him out. Yesterday against Wang they laid off like 16 pitches in a row as Wang walked the bases loaded. So what does he do? Come up hacking at the first pitch, of course. The 2 pitches he swung at in the AB were both clearly balls.
I mean there's a reason he's hitting .255. And Tito hits him way too high in the lineup, too. Unless they're facing a lefty, he should be hitting last. Well, maybe not that low, but never ever 5th or 6th vs a righty.
