The pitching, yesterday, was ugly.
A 9-2 loss to the Yankees.
We need to talk about why the rotation looked so exposed.
It wasn't just ugly, Danielle.
It was tactical failure.
We talked about Griffin Jacks needing six innings yesterday.
He didn't get them.
The Yankees lineup, even without Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the field, due to IL stints, still has immense power.
When you leave runners on base and give up extra base hits, you're dead in the water.
And yet, we are talking about starting another pitcher today.
Who is on the mound? Is it Nick Martinez? Or do we go back to Freddy Peralta? The injury list is decimated.
The Yankees are dealing with their own injuries, but their depth seems deeper than ours right now.
This is where the managerial decision-making comes in.
We have Steven Matz, Drew Rasmussen, Ian Seymour, Brodie Hopkins, and Nick Martinez left in the rotation mix.

That was the opener.
Then Rasmussen came in and struck out 11 to clinch the division.
But he threw a lot of pitches.
Going back-to-back like this is risky.
It's risky because of the bullpen.
Look at the roster.
