The Yankees have two lefties slated to go in the series against us. Our old friend Cortes and Carlos Rodon (who has pitched much better this year than he did last year).
Hello! The guy who hit the ball, Rengifo, wound up on 2B because of the bobble and scored on the next single where the runner also advance to 2B because Kjerstad missed the first cutoff man. Two singles turned into doubles on consecutive plays. God forbid, O’Hearn did that. The pitchforks would be out. Let’s try and keep it real.
And you were right he probably should not have been out there! My hunch was not that he would be better but just that they would use the opportunity to rest Santander a bit while auditioning the kid.
Holliday probably won't play today or Saturday, but should be in there on Friday. Decent matchup for him against Stripling. Sunday will be a lot tougher with the way Blackburn has been throwing the ball this year. Hopefully he can get another knock or two this weekend and we go from there.
