ALCS Game 1: Guardians (Cobb) at Yankees (Rodon)

Naylor misses the FB near the high outside corner, 0-1
FB at 97 above and outside middle, swung under again, 0-2
FB yanked well low and outside, taken, 1-2
Waist high slider, outer 3rd, pulled to Rizzo off the end of the bat, he goes down to field, takes it to the bag, 2 down.

wow 2 more Ks for rodon making 9 through 5.

Gimenez takes a FB almost right down the middle at 96, 0-1
Swings over a slider dropping just low and outside, 0-2
Almost the same slider maybe an inch or two further outside, chases that one as well, swings over it for the K!!

Bottom 5, 4-0 Yanks.
ANOTHER great inning for Rodon, 1-2-3 on 11 pitches with 2 more K's. He's at 70 total through 5.
Chisholm, Volpe and Rizzo for the Yanks in their half of the 5th innings.

9 K's for Rodon against a team that doesn't strike out a lot.

And how!!

23 swings and misses in 70 pitches. A 15% swinging strike rate is considered elite among starters in MLB. His swinging strike rate is twice that so far tonight.

jazz grounds out to 2B

Avila still in the game.
Chisholm...
Takes a curve low and outside, ball 1.
FB below middle at 91, but he misses, fouling it off. 1-1
Change tails outside, taken, 2-1
Change well outside, doesn't chase, 3-1
FB inside corner, thigh high, tries to belt it to the Porch, misses it, 3-2.
FB below middle, almost in the same spot at the 1-0, still can't connect, fouls it off. He should not be missing meatballs like that twice in the same at bat. Pressing a bit.
FB in the drop the bat happy zone down and in, smashed toward Gimenez, he goes down and plays the short hop, throws him out. 96.2 on the grounder, hardest ball he's hit in a while.
