Now that expectations for the Yankees have been lowered, they can go back to beating up on lesser organizations, packing opposing stadiums full of their fans, and smacking around young, inexperienced pitchers while padding their record to keep pace with Boston and stay in the playoff race.
After hearing some whining from the media about the Yankees' difficulties with unknown pitchers, the team unveiled this set of stats:
The Yankees are 11-6 this year in games started by pitchers who had never faced them. Those pitchers have accumulated a 5-6 record so far.
So when Girardi said he didn't want to talk about the Yankees difficulties with unknowns, he had two reasons. First, he just didn't want to talk. Second, the idea was nonsense.
By the way, starting now, I'll be keeping track of my projections as the first half of the season comes to a close.
Projection for this road trip: 4-5
Result: 1-0
Games remaining: 8
