Official Game Thread - 4/4 - Yankees @ Pirates

[Doc]

Bart and McCutchen lead off the second with singles, but Pham, Rodriquez, and Triolo can’t muster a run. Still 2-0 Yankees headed to the third.

[Doc]

Canario replaces Pham in left field. Is it an injury? Or did Shelton finally conclude that Pham should no longer be playing? Or did Cherington call down to the dugout to say Pham’s been released? I know which one I’m rooting for.

I will say, though, the way the grass is cut is really interesting. It's probably meant to hypnotize the fans so they don't know what's happening.

Noticed that too, if only they put that much effort in elsewhere.

Keller doesn't have it today. We'll find out soon if the Bucs have an offense (and a pulse)

With 2 outs, IKF mishandles a ball. Batter is generously given a hit. Then single to LF is overrun by Canario for an error. Then another hit. 4-0. Chants of “sell the team” can be heard.

The Yankees don’t seem to have a problem getting base runners home, even with two outs. They plate two more to make it 4-0 in the third. Keller already with 80 pitches. This is going great so far today.

Yeah, like acquiring a couple of guys who can hit.

[Bobster]

HR Reynolds. 4-1.

[Doc]

Bucs inch closer on a Reynolds solo HR. Yanks 4 Bucs 1 end of three.

[Bobster]

7-1. Keller pulled in 4th with base loaded. Wentz hits a batter to force in a run. Wentz walks a batter to force in a run. Crowd is booing.
