For some strange reason both teams get to add a 27th player, Yankees chose Dominquez -- and SURPRISE they are starting him!!!
Little League World Series Game: Will Skubal make the Yankees look like a little league team?
So much for Wells being the starting catcher.
I know its a LHP, by why is DJ playing?
Peraza does get the start.

So this "softest part of the schedule" thing is not working out so well so far.
Well I guess we know why Mark Leiter Jr is not closing.
Great relief corps you build, Cashman.
I am beyond furious. I have no printable words.
I can see it now. Trey Sweeney will deliver the game winning hit. Too bad Caleb Ferguson is no longer around to give it up.
