The Yankees took an ugly 10-7 loss today where Nik Turley got hit hard. Nik allowed five runs while surrendering three hits,throwing two wild pitches, and only getting one Orioles batter out before being removed. Not his brightest moment but he will improve I am sure. The Yankees have lost four straight Spring Training games and drop their record to 1-4.
The Yankees announced their next three starting pitchers for Grapefruit League play and they will all be Major League starting pitchers. David Phelps will make his second spring start tomorrow but I am unsure which split squad game that will be against. Hiroki Kuroda will make his first spring appearance on Saturday against the Phillies at George Steinbrenner Field. Ivan Nova will make his spring debut on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers in another split squad game.
Kevin Youkilis was told that he will not play again tomorrow in either of the Yankees split squad games. Kevin says he feels healthy enough to play but the Yankees are going with the better safe then sorry route with him after his oblique was sore this week.
Nick Goody is a Greedy Pinstripes follower on twitter and has nothing but good and optimistic news to talk about his sprained ankle. He thanks all of his followers for their prayers and told me directly that all of our prayers were being answered. It is great news that he is healing and is expected to be back on the field soon.
