1st strike to Betts was 30-40% on Gameday, 2nd was 15-20% on the corner up and away.
Last pitch slider was perfectly placed for a hitter expecting the sinker moving in, close enough to make him think sinker and bending away from him.

Hernandez... FB high, taken, 1-0 FG high abit further outside, taken 2-0 FB outside corner, 2-1 Change down and in, and ahead in the count, Teoscar was sitting on it, and hammers it out to left for a solo HR, and I think that's a sweep, gang.3-2 Dodgers as Hernanez burns the Yanks again. uh no. |

Yanks win 6-4 and avoid getting swept for the 1st time this year, also avoiding their 2nd 3-game losing streak.
They move back to 25 games over .500 at 46-21, and get back to 2 1/2 ahead of the O's, 12 1/2 up on the Red Sox 13 up on the Jays, and are now 14 up on the Rays, and have won 26 of their last 33.

As long as Glascow is pitching... And...we were both wrong. I hope. Will be very happy to turn out wrong on that one. |

Ferguson gets the win. What a joke. The should change that and give it to the most deserving pitcher, Gil or Weaver in this case. |

3rd star of the game: The Weaver-Holmes duo, who battled an excellent Dodgers lineup for 3 innings, giving them just 3 hits, and a lucky run on a squib double, a squib grounder and a shortish sac fly.
2nd star: Judge with 3 hits, 2 runs, and the important insurance HR leading off the 8th giving them much needed air.
1st star: Grisham for the monster 3-run shot in the 6th off Glasnow when things look bleak. There are Yankee moments, and Yankee Moments, and that was a shocking one.

Might have been just to give it to Weaver, and not Ferguson, under the short and ineffective rule, but Ferguson didn't allow a run, mainly because Weaver bailed him out. But if you don't allow a run, they almost never invoke "short and ineffective". |

I should have been more clear there, I think they should change the rule and give the win to the most deserving pitcher, regardless when he pitches. More starters would get wins that way. The only time I've seen the short and ineffective used is when the starter doesn't go 5 innings, it is rare that you see it. |

manager of the game - boone for batting "babe" grisham 5th.
getting regular playing time in last 4 games, he's hitting .273 w 2 HR 6 RBI and a 1.218 OPS.
if indeed soto is ready to return tomorrow, wouldn't be surprised if he DHs while stanton sits after a terrible series, with grisham, though not batting 5th, once again in CF.

Yanks finish off a tough series at home, and begin a tough 7-game road trip to Kansas City and Fenway without a day off.
First, 4 games in KC. The much improved Royals come into the series in 2nd place in the Central at 40-26. A 7-game winning streak was followed with losing 7 of 9, but they won 3 in a row before losing the last game of a 3-game seriesa gainst the Mariners.
The first game vs. the Yanks is on YES tomorrow evening at 8:10 at Kauffman Stadium: Carlos Rodon goes for his 7th straight win; he's 8-2 with a 3.08 ERA. He'll be opposed by surprise Royals ace Seth Lugo, 9-1 with a 2.13 ERA, coming off his first bad start in the last 10.
Game 2 is Tuesday evening at 8:10 on YES: Marcus Stroman, 5-2 with a 3.04 ERA and looking to rebound from his poor start against the Twins, will oppose former 1st round pick Brady Singer, 5-2 with a 2.76 ER.
Game 3 in Wednesday evening at 8:10, unfortunately the Prime Dalayed Video Maim of the Week: Cody Poteet, coming off his solid 4 2/3 innings of shutout ball against the Dodgers on Friday, pitches for the Yanks. He's 1-1 with a 1.72 ERA in 3 starts. Lefty Daniel Lynch, also a first round pick of the Royals that same season (supplemental), will be making his 4th start. He's 0-0 with a 5.63 ERA so far this year.
Game 4 is Thursday afternoon at 2:10, back on YES. Nestor Cortes will be trying to avoid a 3rd straight poor start, as well as trying to unload his road woes, goes for the Yanks. He's 3-5 with a 3.68 ERA. 2nd round pick Alec Marsh goes for the Royals. He's 5-3 with a 4.05 ERA this season.
Series preview done, time for me to check notifications.

The only time I've seen the short and ineffective used is when the starter doesn't go 5 innings, it is rare that you see it. Fair enough. Sometimes, short and ineffective is used even when the starter goes 5, if he's not the pitcher of record. A reliever might get the last out of an innings whle allowing 3 runs to score, giving up the lead, but if the team rallies to re-take the lead before the next inning, he usually won't get the W if he's immediately replaced. It's a very rare occurrence but it can happen. |
