During the rough stretch that has been the last few weeks for the New York Yankees, some people have suggested that this weekly column is out of place. And to be honest, I do see where you’re coming from. However, this series’ pure focus isn’t to be a representation of the Yankees’ success. Yes, that is a piece of it. However, my original intention when starting this wasn’t to say, “look how great this team was.” Instead, I wanted it to be a trip through the minute details of pitching sequencing, matchup details, and swing adjustments. The cat and mouse game of the at-bat between hitter and the pitcher-catcher combination is probably the most important aspect of the game.
