And just like that the series between the New York Yankees
and the Cincinnati Reds is over. Well, it will be over tonight anyway as these
two teams complete their quick two-game interleague series tonight inside the
Great American Ball Park. Stand up for the Judge and release the Kraken because
the ball should be flying out of Cincinnati tonight if the opposing offenses
have anything to say about it. There are two men donned with the task of
keeping the ball in the ballpark and they are CC Sabathia for the Yankees and
Tim Adleman for the Reds.
Sabathia has been absolutely horrible in his last three
starts which is beginning to cause concern here in the Bronx. After a great
start to the season Sabathia has posted a 10.43 ERA in his last three starts
lasting just 14.2 innings while allowing 17 earned runs on five home runs. How
about more of the early season Sabathia and less of this guy.
Adleman last faced the Pittsburgh Pirates allowing two runs
in six innings of work which resulted in a 4-2 victory for the Reds. Adleman is
especially tough against left-handed bats while right-handers are hitting over
.300 against him this season so don’t expect Aaron Judge or Gary Sanchez to see
much to hit tonight because if they get a good pitch to hit it’s going to go a
long way out in Cincinnati.
The game will be played at 7:10 pm ET inside the Great
American Ball Park and can be seen on Fox Sports One. I’m, again, not sure how
the Fox and their affiliates broadcast affects MLB TV so you will just have to
check in at game time. If anyone knows beforehand please let me know and I’ll
update the post. If it is blacked out you can always follow along on the radio
with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman on the WFAN broadcast.
Go Yankees!
