The New York Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles will begin a
three-game weekend set in the Bronx tonight with the Yankees have everything to
lose and the Orioles in the position to be the spoiler. Do not let your guard
down, and do not give Buck Showalter a reason to sleep well this weekend. In
the opener of the series the Yankees will send CC Sabathia to the mound to face off
with former Yankees farmhand Yefrey Ramirez for the Orioles. Let’s get to it
here in the Bronx.
Sabathia heads into the start tonight fresh off the shortest start of his 2018 season where he lasted just 2.1 inning pitched against the Toronto Blue Jays. In the start CC allowed five runs on seven hits including three home runs in a loss for New York. Sabathia has not pitched well against the Orioles this season posting a 0-1 record with a 6.00 ERA.
Ramirez has made three appearances for the Orioles against
the Yankees since being traded to Baltimore in 2017 and has posted a 0-2 record
with a 7.50 ERA. Ramirez has made two starts in those three appearances and one
relief appearance, the relief outing coming on August 26 where the righty
allowed no runs and just one hit in three innings of work.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on WPIX channel 11 in New York and on MASN in the
Baltimore/Washington D.C. area. You can also follow along with the game on MLB
TV, with the MLB At-Bat app, and by tuning into the Yankees radio broadcast on
WFAN with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.
Enjoy the game, Yefry don’t make me miss you, and go
Yankees!!
Before we talk how we need to sweep this series lets talk a Red Sox vs Yankees..
ReplyDeleteIf I did my math right, it not as dominating by the Red Sox as people think.
Red Sox do have more wins 9 to 7
Runs Scored Red Sox 82 Yankees 81 and in these games a couple of runs by either team could have made a big difference.
If we win the WC game, I think it is very possible that it could go 5 games.
