“Red Holtzman: You know my mama wanted me to be a farmer. Willis Reed: My dad wanted me to be a basketball player. Red Holtzman: Well you're better than any player I ever had. And you're the best God damn Center I ever saw. Suit up.”
Cutter down and in to Castro, ball 1 Change low, 2-0 FB at the knees inside middle, taken, 2-1 Cutter inside middle waist high, fouled. BAAAADDD location on that cutter. Change floats to the outside corner below the top, gets a small piece and he gets the right cqall, ꓘ, 2 down. 10-20% on Gameday.
Santana... slider down the middle taken, 0-1 Cutter high, 1-1 Change tails to the corner away, Santana rolls over on it, grounds it to Torres, throws him out, inning over
Bottom 7, 9-4 Yanks.
Stanton, Rizzo and Torres for the Yanks in the 7th.
Looking at the pitcher usage chart, they can go with any or Ferguson, Gonzalez and Tonkin for the last two innings. They all have at least two days rest, and Ferguson has 3 days.
So probably Ferguston in the 8th, maybe Tonkin for the 9th?

Stanton... Chases a FB above the zone, misses, 0-1 FB clips the corner away, not called, 1-1. Meh, bad call I guess. Chases a terrible slide way low/away, 1-2 Takes the same FB he took on 0-1, more or less and this time it's a ꓘ, 1 down.
Torres takes a FB high, 1-0 Slider at the knees, fouled, 1-1 Slider clips the outside corner, not called, 25% on Gameday. Another poor call. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Slider outside middle, good pitch to hit, but he misses, fouls it off, 2-2 Slider away, goes with it, lines it toward the corner in right, but Margot playing that way, and races full out to catch it just fair in the corner, then bounces off the padding, inning over.
Good try, Gleyber, good hitting not rewarded.
Top 8, 9-4 Yanks Farmer, then back to the top for Margot and Correa for the Twins in the 8th.
I'm almost giving up on the ability of umps to call balls and strikes. At this point, it's almost like they're challenging MLB to bring in robot umps, so they can have a day off as home plate umps.
