The Yankees are on a Mets-fueled roll right now. And they hope to ride this wave all the way to crashing the playoff party. That means they can no longer afford to play such players as Bryan “Gas Can” Mitchell.
Even in garbage time, Mitchell is unreliable, as he proved against the Mets on Thursday night. How can the bullpen rest its best when Bryan is giving up runs faster than recording outs.
But I know that Yankees Joe Girardi is a nice guy and loyal to a fault…literally. So, I’ve taken the liberty of writing a break-up letter for you, Joe.
