How can a rookie pitcher who is as wild as Ryne Duran get the calls he got. No excuse for all the miss opportunities. Didi continues to improve. Tough loss.
10 hits, only 1 for extra bases, Ellsbury failed in the 8th, Gegorius could not get the hit really needed in the 9th, Yankees again fail to beat an American League Team they needed to beat. And of course ESPN Headlines glare about Big Sloppi leading his team to victory. Another "bump in the road" and Bump is on sick call.
I see a couple of teams made some enhancements to their clubs today while Cashman was probably twiddling his thumbs and thinking about the winter trade meetings.
Also, has anyone else noticed the alarming rates of K's looking with runners in scoring position, not just this game but think back. Bird can't strike out looking in that situation and count.
Terrible AB for Bird. He needed to be doing what Didi did. Look for something to drive into the air and tie the game.
"Toughest" loss of the year to this point. Probably the only way they could've lost this game - leaving the bases loaded a few times and scoring only one or two runs in the process. Ugh.....this one stings.
Regardless of your feeling with Girardi, he is playing 2 roster spots short if you count Ryan. With Tex in NY, It would have been nice to have a veteran to PH. I am so fed up with the organizations arrogance and bad decisions.
