That’s about the only thing that could constitute a risk for the Yankees.
Top 9:
Pressly on
Torres:
Called strike, Ball, ball, grounds out to Toro. 1 out.
Urshela:
Fouled away, Ball, Ball, fouled away, grounds to Pressly. 2 outs.
maybe they’ll re-show that clip.
Gardner:
Called strike, Ball, swinging strike, Ball, singles to LF.
Even hitting .191 Gardner is a pain in the ass.
Easily my most hateable Yankee. Just look at him.
Higashioka:
Swinging strike, Ball, called strike (Machete tries a snap throw to 1B), fouled away, strikes him out on a slider.
One more chance to avoid back-to-back shutouts.
I think Cole is coming back out to at least face Altuve.
I hope Altuve lets him down gently.
Drive a FB to right/RCF
They are scared to let Chapman face Jose.
Or a slider to CF
Cole is getting to start the ninth:
Altuve:
Sharp single to center
Has Uncle Mike forgotten how to swing?
He knew Brantley was taking the first pitch.
We’ve seen it a bunch recently. Teams pumping fastballs for strike one with zero resistance.
Cole needed this at bat.
This is a slightly intense AB
