1-7. That's how the Yankees performed against the lowly Athletics and starter Alex Wood with runners in scoring position. Call it #RISPFail or whatever else you want, it's just not acceptable anymore. This was frustrating. Nasty Nestor was almost good enough, save for a couple of bad pitches, and the cherry on top was watching Judge fly out harmlessly against human buzz-saw, Mason Miller.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

dreadful bottom of the first.
started out so, so well with Volpe getting on
followed by a hot double down the line from Soto to make it second and third
everybody in the baseball universe KNEW that Judge, who appeared to be heating up in the previous game, would be seeing 4 balls,
while Oakland's pitcher caught his breath
and sought a clue.
Stanton and then Rizzo
fizzled
and snuffed
Déjà vu all over again!
With as hard as Mason Miller throws and his unbelievable velocity, he is a "Tommy John surgery waiting to happen". There is only so much the ulnar collateral ligament can take.
