No Jones again vs RHP! Why are he & Dominguez treated differently than Wells?
Goldy gets start vs RHP
Rice half night off.

As losses go, this one doesn't rankle me. Their young ace was better than our young ace tonight. Get 'em tomorrow.
Nice debut by Y. Cruz. Now, if the Yankees don't take the lead, they should let him pitch the 9th. But I'm sure Boone thinks in innings instead of pitches (here, 8, 7 of them strikes).
obviously, we are going to have to face yesavage multiple times a year now. WHY not simply take the bottom 1/3 or even bottom 1/2 of the strike zone out of play
I think at least the bottom 1/3
if he throws the splitter down they are not going to do anything good with it anyway. I say just assume or hope that it is going to fall below the zone for a ball
even with 2 strikes, in Judge's last AB vs yesavage he swung at multiple low pitches. with 2 strikes he swung a bit defensively at a low splitter. it dropped out of the zone and would have been a ball
at this point, he has dominated…
THEE prototypical bluejay rally!!! started with a 15mph seeing eye dribbler. NOT ONE SINGLE hard hit ball and a bunch of weakly hit balls that land out of play
NOW is the time for the Yankees to break through.
All's Wells....
