Yankees Try to Get Back in the Win Column After the Beat Down by the Sox

Hey everyone, me and Bobby coming to you live from seaman’s neck park on this beautiful Saturday afternoon. I’ve got the latest on your favorite ny baseball team, the Yankees. I also want to wish a happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, especially my own who I love very much. 

Unfortunately, the Yankees got hammered in the first of three to start their series in Boston. Domingo German did not fare too well this time around against the northern rivals. In his last start against the Sox he pitched a 6 inning gem, allowing one earned run in a victory. The Red Sox hitters must have adjusted after German’s last start because his pitches were looking like beach balls last night. Justin turner set the tone early and took advantage of German not dealing his grade A pitches. The Yankees pitching staff had no answer for turners power punches. 

 

The Yankees are looking to stop the bleeding tomorrow, hoping the bats come alive and protect Schmidt on the mound. Clarke needs to go 6 innings with 2 or fewer earned runs to take pressure off the bullpen.  He will be toeing the slab in game 1 of a day-night double header starting at 1:35pm tomorrow. Regardless, the yanks need to avoid a sweep to stay within striking distance in the AL East. 

 

Yankees injuries have a bunch of major play-makers on the IL which is clearly affecting team performance. Reinforcements will be on the way shortly as the light at the end of the tunnel approaches. Carlos Rodon is set to make a rehab start in the next few days. A successful return soon would stabilize the starting rotation and take weight off the bullpens shoulders. Harrison Bader's contact bat and outstanding center field play will create a spark in the dugout and on the field. The biggest question facing not only me, but all of Yankees kingdom, is the timetable for the return of the Yankees’ most prominent hitter. The team has been missing their captain and it shows in the loss column. Unfortunately, Judge received a second PRP shot in his foot to relieve nagging toe inflammation. Hopefully the Yankees can fend off the concept that winning without judge is like climbing Mount Everest. We’ll see tomorrow if they can take baby steps and avoid another blowout. 

 

You can catch the game tomorrow at 1:35pm followed by the night game at 7:10pm. Bring the big boy bats to Fenway!
