Akin has looked really good, but walking a .186 hitter makes me wanna pull out my hair. 

To be fair, that was a strike. 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Akin has hit the wall and this umpire has a tight strike zone right now.  

[Tom13206]

Nice. Big K

[Aristotelian]

Never in doubt. Let's go!

[eddie83]

That was odd. Lost it and got it back. 

[Beysbol]

WOW!!! Akin is one of the best pitchers in MLB.

[Just Regular]

Hicks in the top of the order reminds me of that day Mateo flickered into the top of ours when Mountcastle and Hays were down, and Adley was finishing up.

6 Ks in 2.1

Love to see frustrated Yankees slamming their helmets. Let's do this in the 10th!

The walks end up not hurting, but I gotta say from the Yanks' perspective Judge leading off with Hicks on second >>>>> Trevino leading off with Marwin Gonzalez on second.

That was nail biting and fun.

Every time I see Akin pitch 2+ innings like this I always start think maybe he can become a starting pitcher. Probably best to leave him in this role.

To Trevino, yes, but my comment was regarding Gonzalez, to which the last pitch was clearly outside. 
 

No matter, good talk by Holt and he looked great against Hicks.
