After so much winning, it stinks to lose a series. And it particularly stinks to wake up from a deep sleep, check the Yankees score and find out all was not well in Anaheim. The Yanks dropped two of the three games, losing CC in the process to a strained hamstring. That one really bothered me because he’s pitched so well and has been such a big reason why the Yankees have continued to win. Now we’re stuck with kids I’ve never heard of. Maybe one or even two will rise to the occasion – it’s possible – but more likely that the Yanks will limp along like CC until he’s recovered and back on the mound.
Pineda got knocked around last night but at least he’s healthy. The problem throughout the series was missed opportunities, runners left on base and some crucial defensive errors. I hope they can regroup in Oakland so this road trip doesn’t turn really sour. I mean, Aaron Judge came up with a chance last night to put the Yanks in the win column. Instead, he failed. Maybe he’s not Superman after all – at least not for every at bat.
The Yankees as spoiling us with their winning ways. As they should! I hope they think about what they did on the plane to Oakland. This sort of behavior is unacceptable.
Haha. Yes, let’s give them a tongue lashing, Darren!
Apparently the tongue lashing did not work.At least everyone else in the division lost as well.
I hate waking up to these losses!!!! And players left the game with sore/pulled this and that. They’re falling apart on the West Coast and I’m not happy, Audrey!
I hear ya, Jane. I actually took migraine tablets last evening so the caffeine kept me awake and I watched most of the game. When I finally went to bed the score was tied but the lack of resolution haunted my sleep. It sucked to wake up to another loss when we really could have had a win. Of course, that has been the story of this whole west coast trip. We really need to win the next three.
These West Coast trips are so stressful, Audrey! It seems – and I could be wrong – that they rarely go well. Either players get injured or we lose in heartbreaking ways. Last night sounded like both happened. Ugh!!!
