Game Thread: New York Yankees @ San Diego Padres 7/1

Finally, game time! I know it’s Friday night and many of us don’t have to go to work in the morning but still. It’s almost 11:00 pm here on the east coast and the game is just now starting. Thank goodness for Rob Manfred’s pace of play rules, huh? I had to take a jab, sorry. Tonight hopefully the Yankees can take a jab and maybe land a knockout punch as the New York Yankees face off with the San Diego Padres in the first of a three-game set. In the opener the Yankees will send Nathan Eovaldi to the mound looking to find his splitter and his way in the Yankees rotation while the Padres will counter with Colin Rea. The game will be played at 10:40 pm ET inside Petco Park and can be seen on the YES Network locally and MLB TV wherever you are.

Eovaldi vs. Rea in the middle of the night. If the game happens and no one on the east coast is there to see it… did it really happen? We’re about to find out. Go Yankees!
