Game 94: Yanks (Stroman) @ Rays (Eflin)

Arozarena takes a fat sinker just inside middle, 0-1
Takes a slider well low/away, 1-1
Takes another fat sinker just outside middle, 1-2
Takes a slurve well outside
Gives him a 3rd fat sinker in the same spot at the 2nd one and he finally swings and hammers it back up the middle for a single. Gave him three crushable sinkers and he finally swings at the 3rd with 2 strikes.

Great clip. My favorite song from them. That and "Bad Time."

Trevino throws someone out!

Palacios...Splitter outside ball 1.
Cutter hits the corner up and in, not called. Bad call, 60-70% on Gameday, 2-0
Splitter thigh high, outside middle, 2-1
Throw over.
Flies open, Cutter backs way up and away, 3-1
Splitter low in the middle, Palacios swings and misses, Arozarena goes, throw is short and to the right of 2nd, Volpe makes a great catch and tag, as the throw landed on his left foot, almost. Arozarena wants a challenge, but the Rays don't challenge.
Cutter hits him on the back foot, HBP, Gameday thinks it's ball 4 and a BB, but they'll have to correct it, it was a clear HBP.

It's the culture that Boone allows, which is exactly why Boone has to go.

Siri takes a slider outside
Swings through a sinker almost down the middle
Throw over.
Another fat sinker just outside and below middle middle, Siri hits it on the button, but his fliner to right of center is right where Grisham is playing, he catches, then throws behind Palacios who was off on the pitch, but Palacios gets back in time, 2 down.

Rortvedt takes a sinker on the corner away, Palacios goes for 2nd and beats the throw in by a little, SB.
Cutter up and in jams Rortvedt, breaks his bat, and grounds it weakly back to Stroman, who fields and flips to 1st to end the inning. All 3 Rays ran on Trevino, and they're going to keep doing it unless the Yanks build up a reasonable lead.

Top 3, 1-0 Yanks. 16 pitches in the 2nd for Stroman, 32 through 2 innings.
Soto, Judge and Rice for the Yanks in the 3rd.
