The finale between the New York Yankees and the Chicago
White Sox will take place today leaving just a couple games in a game days
before we get the All Star break. I don’t know about you but I could use the
All-Star break to recharge the batteries and I’m sure a lot of the Yankees
players could as well. So in the finale of this three game set the Yankees will
send Michael Pineda to the mound looking to continue his recent trend of good
starts while the White Sox will counter with Miguel Gonzalez.
Pineda has been excellent over his last six starts which
began after a slight adjustment to his delivery and arm angle was suggested by
pitching coach Larry Rothschild. Pineda has posted a 2.74 ERA in that span and
has held opposing batters to just a .201 batting average. The return of Big
Mike ladies and gentleman.
Gonzalez will be making his 14th career start
against the New York Yankees tonight after seeing a lot of them as a member of
the Baltimore Orioles. In his career Gonzalez owns a 3-4 record against the
Bronx Bombers so here’s to hoping Gonzalez, like the Yankees this season, is
afraid of the .500 mark.
The game will be played at 8:10 pm ET inside US Cellular
Field and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV. Any series where the
Yankees don’t see Chris Sale or Jose Quintana should be a win but this series
did not go according to plan. Truth be told the Yankees should have swept this
series but so is baseball and so is life. Let’s just get a win and get the hell
out of dodge. Go Yankees!
