Javier no-hit the Yankees, and Rodon is Rodon, so I think we know what’s going to happen in THIS one.
Not an ideal start to the game.
How is Judge 0-13 against this guy!?
I can’t even really credit Judge for taking that walk, as the pitches were all waaaaaaaaaaay out of the zone.
Belli has been expanding the zone recently. I don’t like it.
I’ll give Rodon this much. He’s a headcase through and through, so it’s not even that I think he “chokes,” as I think he can suck and be good against any team at any moment.
Hopefully Volpe at least forces him to throw three strikes before the automatic out.
At least they won’t be no-hit in this one!
Sure did not expect those last two hits.
