Yankees News: Pitching Coach Larry Rothschild Takes Blame for Staff's Woes

The New York Yankees have been outscored by the Boston Red Sox 38-13 through the first three games of their series, including a historic 19-3 Boston win Thursday night, and somebody has taken the blame for the team's recent poor pitching.

"It's my responsibility to get it right," Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild told reporters Saturday night.

"It's been really tough," Rothschild added. "It's tough on [the pitchers]; it's tough on the team."

This week, New York's starting rotation has allowed a combined 48 earned runs. In that stretch, the Yankees are 2-5.
