I want to apologize in advance to everyone who had to sit through that nightmare. This was the kind of contest that, had it been my first ever exposure to the sport, probably would have caused me never turn on another baseball game. A game that should have been an intense affair due to the postseason implications was instead a sad mix of foul balls, soft contact, and non-competitive pitches.
Not much happened, so there’s really not that much to recap. The Yankees threatened from jump street, loading the bases on three consecutive walks by Taijuan Walker to Aaron Hicks, Clint Frazier, and Gleyber Torres.
