Wherever the J.A. Happ who pitched for the New York Yankees last year is, it’d be great if he showed up.
Why, you ask? Well, that’s a good question. The tall and lanky lefty who pitched against the Chicago White Sox on Friday certainly looked like Happ. He even had Happ’s windup. This man had the same bald pate as J.A. Happ and was even introduced as him.
And despite all that, the J.A. Happ who took the mound Friday was a shell of the veteran lefty who arrived last year. The fastball remained flat over the plate.
