The baseball season is three days old, and the question must be asked:
Did someone forget to unleash the Kraken?
OK, to be fair, Gary Sanchez has displayed a few signs of life at the plate in this very young 2019 campaign. Yet few Yankees could have benefited more from a burst out of the gate than their controversial catcher, and instead, his throwing error Saturday afternoon led directly to his team’s first defeat.
When a bottom-of-the-ninth-inning rally fell short at Yankee Stadium, the team found itself on the wrong end of a 5-3 loss to the egregiously awful Orioles, dropping the season record to 1-1.
