Game 126: So long, interleague play

At long last, the Yankees are done with interleague play. Or they will be after tonight’s game. It amazes me there are people who enjoy watching pitchers hit. Hit is being generous too. Pitchers are hitting .113/.142/.144 (-26 wRC+) in 4,078 plate appearances this year. Imagine how many more runs would be scored and how much more excitement there would be with a universal DH.

Well, anyway, the Yankees and Marlins wrap up this quick two-game series tonight. Hopefully this one doesn’t take another 12 innings. The Yankees have won four straight games and tonight they’ll try to accomplish two things.
