The Yankees continue to find new ways to frustrate. It seems like a nightly occurrence. Tonight, the dubious honors went to the pitching staff, with special emphasis on Dellin Betances. For a super-team, they sure do know how to get you irritated, especially against admittedly terrible clubs. The Bombers lost in embarrassing fashion to the Tigers, by a score of 8-7.
The warning signs came early, as J.A. Happ repeatedly got burned by the long ball. Three poorly located fastballs resulted in five runs for the Tigers. After being so vital to the Yankees’ success since the trade deadline, he had his first real clunker in pinstripes.
