We see the Yankees deploy their “Lefty destroying” lineup today. Let’s see if it live up to the hype against a guy in Robbie Ray who has routinely owned the Yankees in the past.
Big game for Cam Schlittler, as well, to show whether he can be the #2 starter the Yankees will need while Rodon and Cole are on the shelf (and can he be that #3 starter in the playoffs? A playoff rotation with Carlos Rodon as the #4 starter is a pretty darn good playoff rotation).
No idea how Grichuk is batting behind Cabby, though. Also, how can Casey Schmitt possibly be such a bad second baseman that it doesn’t make more sense for him to play second instead of Arraez? Arraez has NO range out there!
